Hyperliquid Strategies Seeks $1B in Funds to Buy More HYPE

TheCryptoTimesPublished on 2025-10-23Last updated on 2025-10-23

Hyperliquid Strategies filed an S-1 registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday to raise up to $1 billion through a public offering of 160 million common shares. 

The company says the money will be used to purchase more HYPE tokens for its treasury and cover general corporate expenses. Chardan Capital Markets is acting as financial adviser for the offering, and would provide guidance on the structure and timing of the raise. 

Hyperliquid Strategies is a pending merger entity formed by Nasdaq-listed biotech firm Sonnet BioTherapeutics and special purpose acquisition company Rorschach I LLC, with plans to create a firm built around crypto asset management. 

The merger, which was initially announced in July, is expected to close within the year and will result in a new ticker symbol once trading begins on Nasdaq. The merged company will be led by CEO David Schamis, while Bob Diamond, former chief executive of Barclays, will serve as chairman, according to the SEC filing.

When the merger is complete, Hyperliquid Strategies is expected to hold 12.6 million HYPE tokens worth nearly $470 million, along with around $305 million in cash that can also be used to buy more tokens.

This large amount would make the company the biggest corporate holder of HYPE tokens, based on market data. In the filing, the company said it “aims to deploy its HYPE token holdings selectively, primarily through staking substantially all of its HYPE holdings. ”It also said it may explore other decentralized finance activities after internal reviews.

Shortly after the news, the price of HYPE surged to $39.02. This is a 11% increase in the last 24 hours from an intraday low of $34.81, according to CoinMarketCap.

OpenSea Launches ERC-8257: A Tool Store for AI Agents, Unlock APIs by Buying an NFT

OpenSea has merged the ERC-8257 standard, an on-chain "Agent Tool Registry" that enables AI Agents to autonomously discover, pay for, and access tools. This standard allows developers to publish tools with programmable access rules (e.g., NFT ownership, subscriptions) and pricing directly on-chain. For example, an AI Agent needing a premium API can buy the required NFT itself and gain access without human intervention, turning NFTs into keys for the agent economy. The system works with complementary standards like ERC-8004 for agent identity and x402 for payments. A live demo shows an NFT appraisal tool offering discounted rates to holders of a specific NFT collection. ERC-8257 aims to decentralize tool distribution and access control, allowing any on-chain asset to grant utility to AI agents. The SDK is available for building on Ethereum and Base.

Bitcoin Gets Rejected At This Level For The First Time In 5 Years, Here Are The Targets

Bitcoin has been rejected at a crucial long-term resistance level around $83,000, marking its first failure at this macro price point in five years. According to analyst Chiefy, this trendline has defined major cycle tops since 2021 and acted as a key support in early 2025. The recent rejection saw Bitcoin drop to $74,000 before a slight recovery to $76,580, aligning with a significant moving average historically linked to major market turns. If the current support around $74,000 breaks, the analyst projects three potential downside targets: $68,000, $61,000, and an extreme target near $48,000, which aligns with the weekly 350 MA. Market sentiment has shifted to fear, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index at 39, indicating growing caution among investors.

Bankless Founder: Why I Sold All My ETH

Bankless founder David Hoffman explains his decision to sell all his ETH. He clarifies this is not due to bearishness on Ethereum itself, which he remains extremely optimistic about, but rather because he believes the core "ETH is Money" narrative he championed has already been priced in. Hoffman argues that for ETH to achieve status as a global reserve currency, Ethereum needed to execute perfectly across all layers—governance, technology, L2 coordination, and market dominance—faster than competitors. While Ethereum has performed admirably and earned its current valuation, the window for a fundamental revaluation of ETH upward has likely closed. Key factors include: the clear market correlation between L1 chain revenue/fees and native asset price (evident with SOL and NEAR); the failure of the "strong version" of crypto (ideological, self-sustaining) to maintain lasting mainstream appeal beyond a brief period; and the reality that Ethereum's architecture acts as a "giver," providing security and tokenization at cost, which benefits other monies (like stablecoins) as much as or more than ETH itself. He concludes that Ethereum's success will increasingly accrue to its applications and L2s (following a "fat app" theory), with ETH structurally positioned to capture only minimal value. Therefore, he sold to reallocate capital to other opportunities he finds more compelling.

Bankless Co-founder: Why I Sold All My ETH

Author David Hoffman, founder of Bankless, explains his decision to sell all his ETH, despite being a prominent figure in the Ethereum ecosystem. He clarifies that his move is not a bearish take on Ethereum itself, which he remains highly optimistic about as a network. His core argument is that the "ETH is money" thesis, which he helped popularize, has largely played out. Hoffman argues that ETH has achieved the market valuation it deserves based on Ethereum's current success and competitive position. He details several reasons for this view. First, the path for ETH to become global money required nearly flawless execution and sustained dominance across Ethereum's entire technical and social stack—a coordination challenge he now believes had a narrower window for success than anticipated. Second, market data shows a strong correlation between L1 chain activity/fees and the price of its native asset; Ethereum's fee dominance has been challenged by competitors like Solana. Third, the "strong version" of crypto (decentralized, native crypto economies) that ETH's monetary thesis relied upon has struggled to maintain a positive mainstream narrative and stable adoption beyond a brief period. Finally, Ethereum's architecture as a "giver"—providing secure block space and tokenization capabilities at cost to L2s and applications—means it doesn't capture premium value directly. Its rollup-centric roadmap further directs most profits to L2s and applications ("fat app theory"). In conclusion, Hoffman believes the opportunity for ETH to be revalued significantly upward as money has diminished. He sold not because ETH will fail, but because its monetary thesis has matured, and he seeks to allocate capital to other opportunities he finds more compelling.

From Issuer to Infrastructure Owner: Circle's Arc Strategy and the Fatal Gap in the GENIUS Act

Circle raised $222 million for its proprietary Layer-1 blockchain, Arc, positioning itself not just as a stablecoin issuer but as the owner of the settlement infrastructure USDC relies on. This move, backed by investors like BlackRock and Apollo, highlights a significant structural conflict unaddressed by the GENIUS Act of 2025. While the act focuses on stablecoin reserves and issuer oversight, it remains silent on the market structure implications of an issuer controlling the underlying network—a scenario akin to a currency issuer also owning the payment rails. Traditionally, financial regulations separate issuers from settlement infrastructure to ensure neutrality. With Arc, Circle gains control over transaction ordering, fees, and network rules, potentially favoring USDC over competitors. The article argues that this creates a permanent structural temptation, even if no abuse occurs. The solution lies in applying established market infrastructure principles: mandating neutral transaction ordering, transparent fee schedules, and governance separated from Circle’s commercial interests. The current pre-mainnet phase offers a critical window for regulators to establish these rules before Arc becomes entrenched. Once operational, enforcing changes would be costly and disruptive. The core question remains: should a regulated stablecoin issuer be allowed to own the settlement network its competitors must use? The GENIUS Act doesn’t answer this, but Circle’s Arc strategy makes it urgent.
