No Need to Wait for Monday's Open: Hyperliquid's HIP-3 Is Becoming a Pricing Reference for CME

Based on a detailed analysis of Hyperliquid's HIP-3 silver perpetual contract during a period of extreme market volatility, this report compares its performance against the CME/COMEX benchmark. Key findings indicate that for retail-sized orders, Hyperliquid offered competitive spreads (median 2.4 bps vs. COMEX's 3 bps) and execution quality pre-crash. However, the platform exhibited thinner order book depth and higher tail execution risk during the sell-off, with some trades deviating over 50 bps from the mid-price. A significant advantage emerged during weekends when CME is closed: Hyperliquid provided continuous 24/7 trading, processing $257 million in notional volume with compressed spreads (median 0.93 bps). This continuous price discovery mechanism effectively priced the Sunday reopening auction, with its final price closer to CME's open than Friday's close. While weekend liquidity is structurally lower, the platform demonstrates a unique use case for pre-open hedging and price discovery. The report concludes that HIP-3 is effective for retail and mid-sized flows but remains capacity-constrained for large institutional orders compared to traditional futures venues.

Can Dogecoin reach $0.11 as $1.63M DOGE liquidity cluster forms?

Dogecoin's acquisition cost has hit a multi-month low, improving its risk-reward profile and potentially attracting sidelined capital. On-chain data indicates steady holder sentiment, with a significant increase in holders and coins not being aggressively moved. A key technical level is the $0.11 price point, where a $1.63 million liquidity cluster is located. If fresh capital continues to enter, DOGE could be drawn toward this target, potentially breaking its current consolidation pattern.

ASTER – Traders, look out for THIS threat despite 53% rally in 3 days

Aster's price experienced a 53.85% rally in three days after hitting a low of $0.403, yet the 1-day chart structure remains bearish. Key resistance levels are at $0.725 and $0.656. A significant token unlock of 78.11 million ASTER (worth $44.49 million) is scheduled for February 17, which could lead to selling pressure despite not being immediately sold. Traders are advised to consider selling the bounce, targeting the $0.73–$0.74 zone where liquidity is clustered. Downside targets are at $0.53, $0.46, and eventually the $0.405 low. The overall trend is bearish, reinforced by moving averages and the A/D indicator showing selling pressure.

Cardano’s relief rally is good news, but here’s why it might not last!

Cardano (ADA) recently saw a relief rally following the announcement that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) will support ADA futures, alongside Chainlink and Stellar. This news came during a broader crypto market downturn, with Bitcoin down 30% and ADA losing 34% since mid-January. Despite the rally, the long-term trend remains bearish, with key support levels at $0.246 and a critical demand zone between $0.22-$0.27. A short-term bounce may test the $0.287 resistance, but the overall outlook suggests a resumption of the downtrend. Traders are advised to consider short positions near $0.287, targeting $0.22, with a stop-loss above $0.305. Long-term investors are cautioned against rushing to buy, as market bottoms can take time to form. A potential liquidity hunt beyond $0.30 is possible if Bitcoin surges, but any rally is expected to cap at the $0.33-$0.35 supply zone.

INVESTING YACHTS Launches RWA Yacht Charter Model

Investing Yachts has launched a real-world asset (RWA) yacht charter model using blockchain to tokenize luxury yacht charter revenue through its upcoming $YATE token. The platform aims to democratize yacht investment by removing traditional barriers like high capital requirements and illiquidity. The model allocates up to 65% of annual net charter profits to tokenholders who lock $YATE in protocol vaults, with 10% of profits used for token buyback and burns. New tokens are minted only when new yachts or assets are acquired. A pre-sale for $YATE begins on February 25, 2026, starting at $0.10 per token with a daily price increase of 0.75% over nine months, targeting a $1.00 listing price. The project leverages broker partnerships and targets the multi-billion dollar yacht charter market.

Assessing Ethereum’s liquidity landscape shift as reserves hit multi-year lows

With Ethereum's exchange reserves hitting multi-year lows of 16.3 million ETH in early February 2026—levels not seen since 2016—the liquidity landscape is undergoing a structural shift. Large-scale withdrawals from exchanges like OKX and Binance suggest strategic accumulation by whales, likely capitalizing on ETH's dip near $2,050. This reduction in sell-side supply is easing selling pressure and may precede potential price rallies. Meanwhile, derivatives market reflects risk reduction rather than expansion, with open interest declining to the $24 billion–$36 billion range, negative rates, and over $1 billion in long liquidations during the crash. These factors, combined with growing institutional adoption post-ETF and increased staking activity, indicate a tightening circulating supply and reduced leverage, setting the stage for stronger recoveries once demand improves.

Did BlackRock’s IBIT ETF really crash Bitcoin? Here’s everything you need to know!

Theories suggest BlackRock's IBIT ETF significantly contributed to Bitcoin's 35% price crash, with BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes explaining that institutions like Morgan Stanley had to hedge structured notes linked to the ETF, forcing massive sell-offs. On February 5th, a record $10.7 billion in trading volume occurred as leveraged positions unwound. However, recent signs indicate a potential reversal, with IBIT seeing over $200 million in inflows—its first in nearly a month—and Bitcoin’s Coinbase Premium Index surging 65% in under a week. This suggests institutional investors may be re-entering the market, possibly signaling a bottom and the start of stabilization.

Tether Joins Turkey’s Fight Against Illegal Betting In $544M Crypto Case

Tether was involved in two major events this week. In a legal case, it froze approximately $544 million in USDT linked to an illegal online betting operation in Turkey, cooperating with local law enforcement. This action is part of Tether’s broader effort to support authorities, having assisted in over 1,800 cases across 62 countries. Separately, Tether minted an additional $1 billion in USDT during a sharp Bitcoin selloff, providing liquidity to traders amid high market volatility. These events highlight the dual role of stablecoins: enabling rapid market responses while also being subject to regulatory controls when illicit activity is suspected.

Hedera rebounds 20% as demand returns – Is HBAR’s reversal in play?

Hedera (HBAR) rebounded 20% after a prolonged downtrend characterized by persistent selling pressure and a descending channel pattern. The price declined from $0.134 to $0.087, with support eventually failing at $0.097 and extending losses to a liquidity floor near $0.073. A capitulation wick at $0.07766 signaled exhaustion of selling pressure, leading to a recovery as buying activity gradually emerged. Price stabilized above $0.080, forming higher lows and advancing toward $0.090. The RSI improved to 53, indicating strengthening momentum. Reclaiming the $0.10001 resistance level with volume could push HBAR toward $0.110–$0.115, though rejection may renew downside pressure. The recovery aligns with Hedera's recent institutional integration, having joined the Digital Monetary Institute in February 2026, which bolstered credibility and investor confidence. The move positions HBAR between a relief rally and a potential structural uptrend.
