From Competing on Experience to Building Assets: Hyperliquid is Moving Ahead of CEXs

比推Published on 2026-01-28Last updated on 2026-01-28

Abstract

Amidst a general market stagnation, Hyperliquid ($HYPE) has demonstrated notable independent growth, signaling a shift in the Perp DEX narrative. Rather than competing solely on user experience akin to centralized exchanges (CEXs), Hyperliquid is expanding into synthetic assets—including commodities like crude oil, precious metals, and foreign currencies—through its HIP-3 protocol. This positions it not just as a decentralized exchange, but as a crypto-native, Nasdaq-like platform for global asset trading. The move reflects a broader trend of on-chain liquidity integrating with real-world assets, a direction also being explored by major CEXs like Bitget, OKX, and Bybit. Hyperliquid’s advantages include narrower spreads, faster execution, and 24/7 availability compared to traditional platforms. It leverages on-chain transparency, permissionless listings, and fee redistribution to challenge the opaque, centralized models of CEXs and traditional finance—focusing on code-based trust rather than decentralization rhetoric.

Original Title: While CEXs Are Still Competing on Experience, Hyperliquid Is Already Trading Precious Metals and Forex

While mainstream assets remain stagnant, $HYPE's independent bullish surge is indeed thought-provoking. Many are asking why the Perp DEX sector has been quiet lately, but @HyperliquidX's performance has already provided the answer:

1) The narrative ceiling has shifted. The old story of Perp DEXs approaching CEX-level experience is no longer compelling. It seems Hyperliquid is breaking away from the internal competition of being a "user-friendly DEX" and is expanding into a full range of synthetic assets through the HIP-3 protocol.

It is transitioning from the goal of outperforming CEXs as a user-friendly DEX to becoming a chain-based Nasdaq narrative that best serves Crypto Native users. The shift from pure Crypto speculation to seamless trading of crude oil, forex, and precious metals directly elevates the vision;

2) The "reverse flow" of on-chain liquidity into real-world assets. Observing exchanges like Bitget, OKX, and Bybit building platforms around the "asset tokenization" narrative indicates that the growth ceiling for pure Crypto assets has been reached.

Don’t doubt it—when you find that the spread for trading silver on-chain is narrower than on CEXs, the response is faster than brokers, and it operates 24/7 without interruption, it ceases to be just a DEX and transforms into an all-weather global asset routing hub. This is an inevitable outcome of on-chain liquidity beginning to reverse-flow into real-world assets. Whoever takes the lead in championing this will emerge as the winner;

3) A dimensional shift in rule-making. In the past, Perp DEXs were imitating and trying to match the experience of CEXs, but Hyperliquid has clearly elevated the game. The new rule logic includes absolute on-chain transparency, permissionless listing, fee rebate mechanisms, and other emerging market rules.

Ultimately, it uses code-based trust to dismantle the black-box advantages of CEXs and TradFi. Interestingly, decentralization isn’t even mentioned.

Michael Saylor Claims It Has Become Impossible to Implement the Bitcoin Update He Opposed!

Michael Saylor stated that it has become mathematically impossible for BIP-110 to achieve its required 55% voluntary support threshold within the current Bitcoin mining difficulty adjustment cycle. According to his analysis of 946 blocks generated up to block 960,561, only 24 blocks included a version field signal supporting BIP-110. Saylor noted that all these signaling blocks were mined by DATUM miners sharing rewards through the OCEAN pool, with no supporting signals from miners outside OCEAN. He concluded that BIP-110 will not reach the 55% level in this cycle and argued the current signals do not represent a broad miner consensus. BIP-110 is a proposal aimed at making it harder to embed large non-financial data, like images or text, into the Bitcoin blockchain, promoting a view that Bitcoin should be used primarily for monetary transactions. Saylor opposes this, arguing the Bitcoin network should not arbitrate which transactions are necessary and that rules should not change based on the preferences of a few. He also contends that high support metrics may be inflated by automated signaling software rather than reflecting genuine miner support.

Within Strategy's Framework, STRC's Dividend Yield Remains at 12% as Share Price Stays Below Par Value

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), confirmed that the dividend rate for its STRC perpetual preferred shares will remain at 12.00% through August 2026. The rate has increased from 9% at its July 2025 launch to the current high via a "ratchet" mechanism, which permanently raises the rate by 0.5% whenever the share price falls below $95. This mechanism is intended to push the price back toward its $100 par value and support Strategy's "at-the-market" (ATM) program for issuing new shares to fund Bitcoin purchases. However, the mechanism has not worked as intended. STRC shares closed at $89.46 on July 31, remaining about 10-11% below par value despite the record-high dividend. Competition from rival Strive's higher-yielding SATA securities has pressured demand. The persistent discount has forced Strategy to suspend new STRC issuances via its ATM program, limiting this funding channel for Bitcoin acquisitions. STRC's struggles reflect Bitcoin's own volatility, as the preferred shares historically move in tandem. Analysts have warned the ratchet structure carries long-term, one-way risk. A law firm is investigating Strategy's ability to maintain dividend payments if Bitcoin's price stays low. Retail investors own roughly 83% of outstanding STRC shares, a group seen as prone to panic selling during downturns. In response, Strategy has established financial reserves, including a liquidity cushion covering about 26 months of dividend/interest obligations, and a $2 billion share buyback program alongside a Bitcoin monetization framework, though the company emphasized it is not obligated to sell any Bitcoin.

Analyst: Bitcoin's Price Will Drop to $60k in August, Then Rebound to $70k

Financial analyst Andrey Poroshin has provided a new forecast for Bitcoin's price dynamics in August. Poroshin, an analyst at the Bitbanker exchange, expects the cryptocurrency market to experience a downturn this month, with prices retesting the $60,000 level due to a lack of supportive macroeconomic catalysts. He noted that the recent US Federal Reserve decision to hold interest rates did not significantly impact the market, while inflation remains above the 2% target. Poroshin stated that Bitcoin is ending July under pressure from moderate volatility and a lack of new macroeconomic stimuli, leading to continued market caution. According to his base scenario, Bitcoin will drop to a range of $60,000 to $62,000 before recovering to $70,000. He pointed out that even $70,000 remains below the cost of mining in the US, which has prompted some miners to shift towards AI data center operations. Poroshin cited the winding down of BitMEX's operations as a potential catalyst for a price rebound, suggesting the exit of weaker players often coincides with market reversals and reduced short-term selling pressure. He believes Bitcoin is currently less susceptible to geopolitical shocks, such as the Iran-US conflict, and does not expect significant market changes in August related to the pending CLARITY Act. Looking ahead, Poroshin forecasts that September will bring more active price fluctuations driven by potential Fed rate decisions and possible discussions or approval of the CLARITY Act.

Following the Coldcard Hack, One of the Largest Bitcoin Wallet Hacks Recently, a New Wave of Losses Begins! Losses Are Mounting

Following a major hack targeting Coldcard hardware wallets, losses have surged to approximately 1,367 BTC ($88.6 million) across 4,585 addresses. The third wave of attacks stole an additional 207.7 BTC, exhibiting different patterns from the first two. While initial attacks used shared deposit addresses and targeted P2WPKH wallets, the latest wave employed unique recipient addresses per victim and focused on P2WSH addresses. Analysis by Galaxy Research cannot definitively link all three waves to the same attacker, raising the possibility of a second actor exploiting the known vulnerability. The stolen funds, predominantly from wallets holding under 1 BTC, remain unspent. The vulnerable Coldcard firmware was released in March 2021, and all stolen coins originate from after that date.
