Resumo

Bitwise Asset Management has filed a second amendment with the SEC for its spot Hyperliquid ETF, changing the ticker to $BHYP and setting a management fee of 0.67%. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that such updates typically signal an imminent launch, suggesting Bitwise aims to capitalize on HYPE's 200% price surge over the past year. The fund, if approved, will track Hyperliquid's price and trade on NYSE Arca. Bitwise also plans to generate additional returns through HYPE staking, a feature not yet confirmed by competitors Grayscale and 21Shares, who have also filed for similar ETFs.

Reportedly, Bitwise Asset Management has filed a second amendment with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking a significant milestone on the road to launching its planned spot Hyperliquid exchange-traded fund.

Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, noted in Friday’s X post that Bitwise has changed the ticker for its Hyperliquid ETF to $BHYP and set a management fee of 0.67%, or 67 basis points.

Balchunas claims that these information being filed usually indicate that the product is about to be launched. He went on to say that the corporation was probably attempting to cash in while the iron was hot, since HYPE had gone up 200 percent in the last year.

This application comes as other asset managers, including as Grayscale and 21Shares, are also attempting to get in on the action by releasing their own exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to the crypto perpetual futures protocol and blockchain. Bitwise filed its Hyperliquid ETF with the SEC in September before the other two. A month later, 21Shares filed theirs, and Grayscale did the same at the end of March.

Investors will be able to track the current price of Hyperliquid via Bitwise’s ETF, which would trade on the NYSE Arca stock market if it is approved. Although neither Grayscale nor 21Shares have made it clear that their funds would aim to earn extra returns via HYPE staking, Bitwise said so in the firm’s first December filing revision.

Global Stock Market's Storm Center: South Korea's Stock Market De-leveraging Is Largely Complete

Storm's Eye: South Korean Market De-leveraging Nears Completion The recent sharp correction in South Korean equities, with the KOSPI index dropping 32% from its June high, has been a key trigger for global tech stock volatility. The core driver was not a fundamental shift but a forced de-leveraging process within the market's unique structure, which is now largely complete. Two main leverage channels amplified the sell-off: 1. **Leveraged ETFs:** Their size, proportionally four times larger than in the U.S., peaked near $50 billion. Their mandatory daily rebalancing mechanism created a vicious cycle of "price drop → forced selling → further drop." Approximately 75% of this excess has been unwound, shrinking to $26 billion, with regulatory curbs now blocking new inflows. 2. **Hedge Fund Leverage:** Using swaps to magnify exposure, hedge funds saw their net long positioning fall by over 50% from peak levels. The most intense phase of this institutional de-leveraging is over. In contrast, **retail margin debt** poses minimal systemic risk. At 0.5% of market cap, it is far lower than in the U.S. or China, lacks automatic triggers, and is concentrated in smaller stocks. The conclusion: the high-leverage structures most prone to "chain-reaction selling" have been substantially cleared. The market is transitioning from a liquidity-driven crash to one priced more on fundamentals. The article argues that the AI trend—centered on Korean memory chips—remains intact. This episode represents a painful but necessary clearing of crowded trades, not the end of the AI revolution. For investors, the key question is conviction in the long-term AI direction; if the trend is real, current volatility is a cost of entry, not a terminal risk.

The Eternal Fragments of Money: Third-Party Payment Has No First Principle

"The Enduring Fragments of Money: Third-Party Payments Lack a First Principle" Stripe is reportedly attempting to acquire PayPal, marking a significant shift reminiscent of PayPal's merger with the original X.com 30 years ago. The article analyzes Stripe's strategic challenges and the broader payments industry landscape. Despite its initial success with a developer-friendly API model, Stripe missed its optimal IPO window during the pandemic and has since seen its valuation decline. Its attempts to expand through acquisitions and new ventures, particularly in stablecoins (like its OUSD project) and Agent-focused payments (ACP/MPP protocols), have faced headwinds. The author argues that the payment industry remains highly fragmented and is ultimately an adjunct to the traditional banking system. This structure limits the potential for any single player, including Stripe, to achieve complete dominance. While stablecoins and the future rise of autonomous Agent economies present potential growth avenues, they are not yet mainstream and still require integration with the existing financial system. For now, Agent-based transactions are largely used for speculative "volume boosting" rather than substantive business applications. Stripe's current move to acquire PayPal is seen as an attempt to bolster its weak consumer-facing (C-side) business after its stablecoin-focused strategies faltered. Meanwhile, PayPal is described as structurally outdated, unable to revive itself through new products like Venmo or PYUSD. The future of payments may lie not in payments themselves but in value-added services like more efficient settlement networks. The author suggests that companies like Stripe and Circle, which are building their own blockchains (Tempo, Arc) and stablecoins, are positioning themselves to eventually profit from high-efficiency settlement systems. These new networks could potentially bypass some traditional banking layers. In conclusion, the article posits that third-party payment is a perpetually fragmented battlefield where scale alone cannot ensure victory. Players must find new models, focusing on efficiency to compete with the entrenched banking system. Stripe's acquisition of PayPal represents a bet on this uncertain future.
