On April 16, according to the Financial Times, Lebanese officials revealed that under pressure from the United States to ease tensions in the Middle East, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon aimed at ending over six weeks of conflict is expected to be announced 'soon.' Sources indicate that the ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah could take effect 'within this week,' likely after Israeli ground forces complete their occupation of the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil. The conflict within Lebanon has become a focal point in the broader efforts to conclude the US-Israel war against Iran that erupted on February 28. Lebanese officials noted that once the ceasefire is announced, its duration is likely to be linked to the maintenance of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement. One Lebanese official stated that the ceasefire would cover the cessation of Israeli attacks but would not include the withdrawal of Israeli troops. Other officials indicated that the ceasefire efforts are being led by the United States.

On April 16, the open interest (OI) in the HIP-3 market on Hyperliquid reached approximately $2.38 billion, currently maintaining a high level of around $2.1 billion, reflecting an increase of about 580% year-to-date. This growth is primarily driven by 'non-crypto assets.' Among the top ten markets by trading volume on the platform, only three are crypto trading pairs, while the rest consist of tokenized stocks and commodities, including the Nasdaq index, S&P 500, crude oil, gold, and silver. Analysis indicates that the core driver is the demand for '24/7 trading of traditional assets.' Unlike traditional markets that are limited by trading hours, HIP-3 enables investors to trade stock and commodity exposure around the clock through on-chain settlement and a non-intermediary structure. Furthermore, TradeXYZ accounts for over 90% of HIP-3's open interest, becoming the primary source of liquidity in this sector.
