HIP-3 open interest tops $2 billion as demand for 24/7 tokenized equity exposure surges

On Hyperliquid, just three of the top 10 markets by volume are crypto pairs, while the rest are tokenized equity or commodity futures.

The following is excerpted from The Block’s Data and Insights newsletter.

Open interest (OI) on Hyperliquid's HIP-3 markets hit a record high of $2.38 billion last week. As of Wednesday, OI sits at slightly under $2.1 billion, still near its highs despite a 12% pullback likely tied to broader risk-off moves.

HIP-3's growth trajectory has been staggering, from just around $280 million in OI at the beginning of the year to crossing $1 billion less than a month later and $2 billion by the end of the quarter. Year-to-date, HIP-3 OI is up approximately 580%. TradeXYZ alone accounts for over 90% of all HIP-3 OI.

On the Hyperliquid platform itself, only three of the top 10 markets by volume are crypto pairs. The rest are tokenized equity and commodity futures such as Nasdaq proxies, oil, gold, silver, and the S&P 500.

Traders are increasingly seeking exposure to equities and commodities outside traditional market hours, and HIP-3 provides that without intermediaries and with crypto-native settlement.

Existing tradfi incumbents such as CME, ICE, and Eurex don't offer 24/7 equity futures, while Robinhood and Interactive Brokers don't settle on-chain.

The $5 billion OI mark is where things get interesting for HIP-3. At that level, HIP-3 starts generating enough volume and liquidity to attract market makers who currently operate on CME and CBOE.

Bitcoin Developers Propose Bitcoin Quantum Migration Plan That Would Freeze Legacy Coins

BIP-361 proposes migrating Bitcoin away from legacy cryptographic signatures to quantum-resistant alternatives through a phased deadline that could eventually make unmigrated coins permanently unspendable.

A new proposal circulating among Bitcoin developers is forcing the network to confront a long-standing theoretical risk: the impact of quantum computing on its cryptographic foundations.

Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 361 (BIP-361), introduced by a group of researchers including Jameson Lopp, outlines a structured plan to migrate the network away from legacy signature schemes and toward quantum-resistant alternatives. If adopted, the proposal would impose a phased deadline that could ultimately render unmigrated coins permanently unspendable.

The proposal aims to reduce Bitcoin’s exposure to a future scenario in which sufficiently advanced quantum computers can break the elliptic curve cryptography that underpins its current system.

“Even if Bitcoin is not a primary initial target of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, widespread knowledge that such a computer exists and is capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography will damage faith in the network,” the BIP authors wrote.

Today, Bitcoin relies on ECDSA and Schnorr signatures to secure transactions. Both remain robust against classical computing but are theoretically vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm, which could allow an attacker to derive private keys from exposed public keys. This risk is not evenly distributed across the network. Older address types, particularly pay-to-public-key outputs and reused addresses, reveal public keys onchain and are considered the most vulnerable.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Support Tested, $2,400 Caps Upside

Ethereum is testing a key support area while traders watch whether buyers can hold the latest pullback. At the same time, resistance levels at $2,400 and $2,665 keep the upside path crowded.

Ethereum Pullback Puts $2,222 to $2,036 Support Zone in Focus

Ethereum may be entering a wave two pullback, with chart analyst Man of Bitcoin pointing to a support area between $2,222 and $2,036. The setup mirrors a similar view on Bitcoin and suggests $ETH could face more short term downside before any stronger bullish continuation appears.

The 4 hour chart shows Ethereum trading near $2,311 after pulling back from the recent local high around the $2,380 area. The analyst marked the current move as a possible corrective decline, with Fibonacci support levels stacked below price. Those levels include $2,222, $2,166, $2,111, and $2,036, which together form the main support zone for the expected wave two retracement.

At the same time, the chart keeps a broader bullish structure on the table as long as $ETH holds that lower area. A white projected path shows the pullback finishing before a possible push higher in a larger wave three move. However, if Ethereum loses the $2,036 level, the chart opens room for a deeper drop toward lower downside targets shown near $1,755 and $1,387.

For now, the analysis suggests Ethereum remains in a correction phase rather than a confirmed breakdown. The key question is whether buyers step in between $2,222 and $2,036. If they do, the pullback could stay within a bullish wave structure. If not, downside pressure may grow and push $ETH into a much deeper retracement.

South Korea to test blockchain deposit tokens for government spending in Q
South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance will begin testing blockchain-based deposit tokens for government spending in the fourth quarter as part of a broader push to modernize how public funds are managed.

The ministry said the pilot to spend Treasury funds as digital currency was approved under a 2026 regulatory sandbox program, local media reported.

The approval allows business promotion expenses, currently processed with government purchasing cards, to be paid using tokenized deposits.

The change alters a long-standing system governed by the Treasury Funds Management Act, which required card-based payments. In the sandbox environment, agencies will be able to operate outside those rules on a limited basis to test new methods.

Officials expect the change to improve oversight. Token-based payments can be programmed with predefined conditions, including limits on when funds can be used and which industries can accept them. This could reduce the need for manual audits, especially when spending occurs outside standard hours.

The system also removes intermediaries such as card networks, which the ministry says could lower transaction fees for small businesses that receive government payments.

This marks the second use of deposit tokens in Treasury operations, following an earlier pilot tied to electric vehicle-charging infrastructure subsidies.

The trial will take place in Sejong City after a selection process for participating firms, the report states. The ministry plans to expand the program if it shows stronger control over spending and measurable cost savings.

Charles Hoskinson Says 34% of Bitcoin Could Be Stolen by Quantum Computers in 2030s

Charles Hoskinson used a lengthy video address this week to deliver what he described as a long overdue reckoning for Bitcoin maximalists, centred on a quantum computing threat he says is no longer theoretical and a proposed fix he says does not actually work.

As of March 1, 2026, over 34% of all Bitcoin has had its public key exposed on-chain, either through address reuse or legacy pay-to-public-key-hash formats. That represents approximately 8 million Bitcoin that could be stolen by an attacker with a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. Based on current research timelines, Hoskinson places that threat arriving in the 2030s.

“Not hypothetically one magical day in the future when unicorns fart rainbows,” he said. “In the 2030s. Right in front of your face.”

The Proposal That Does Not Solve the Problem

A Bitcoin Improvement Proposal currently circulating, BIP-361, attempts to address the vulnerability by freezing quantum-vulnerable funds and forcing a migration to post-quantum addresses. Hoskinson spent considerable time dissecting why he believes it fails on its own terms.

The proposal claims to be a soft fork. Hoskinson says it is not. It would require a hard fork, something Bitcoin has never done and, by the religion of its maximalist community, never will.

More critically, the proposed zero-knowledge proof recovery system only works for wallets built on the BIP-39 seed phrase standard, which was not introduced until 2013. Approximately 1.7 million Bitcoin, including an estimated 1.1 million belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto, exist in legacy wallet formats that predate this standard. There is no zero-knowledge proof that can recover those coins.

“1.7 million coins cannot be saved even under the steal your coins proposal,” Hoskinson said bluntly.

The Uncomfortable Logic

Hoskinson acknowledged the proposal is not without merit. The developers who wrote i

Japan has taken a major step toward reshaping its crypto regulatory landscape.
The Cabinet has officially approved a bill that reclassifies cryptocurrencies as financial instruments under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, moving them away from their previous classification as simple payment tools.
This shift marks a significant upgrade in regulatory oversight and brings crypto assets closer to traditional financial markets.
Key changes under the new framework include:
Insider trading rules applied to crypto: Trading based on undisclosed material information will now be prohibited, similar to rules in stock markets.
Mandatory annual disclosures: Crypto issuers will be required to publish regular reports, improving transparency and investor access to project information.
Stronger enforcement against unregistered exchanges: Penalties will be increased to curb illegal or non-compliant operations.
Beyond tighter regulation, the move is widely seen as a signal of growing institutional acceptance of digital assets in Japan. Analysts expect the clearer legal framework could support the development of crypto ETFs in the coming years and attract more institutional capital.
By integrating crypto into its core financial regulations, Japan is positioning the sector as part of a more mature and transparent financial system rather than an unregulated frontier market.
