a16z Invests Heavily with $356 Million in HYPE, Surpassing Paradigm to Become the Largest External Holder

On May 21st, HYPE surged past $59, reaching a new high since September 2025, with a market cap nearing $150 billion. Analysts attribute the rally to a short squeeze and significant ETF inflows. The launch of two U.S. spot ETFs for Hyperliquid has driven substantial capital, with their inflows at times surpassing those of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Major institutions are actively accumulating HYPE. Venture firm a16z has become the largest external holder with a $356 million position, surpassing Paradigm. Other firms like Goldman Sachs, Grayscale, and Galaxy Digital have also made large purchases, with Goldman reportedly selling portions of its XRP, ETH, and BTC holdings to buy HYPE. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan calls HYPE one of the most "mispriced" assets, arguing its valuation should reflect Hyperliquid's broader platform beyond just a perpetual DEX token. The protocol generates substantial real revenue, using 97% of fees to buy back and burn HYPE. Its expansion into RWA commodities and prediction markets has driven user growth and transaction volume, now commanding about 70% of the on-chain perpetual DEX market. However, this rapid growth faces challenges. Traditional exchanges CME and ICE are pressuring the CFTC to regulate Hyperliquid, citing concerns over its impact on global commodity benchmarks. Concurrently, some major market makers have withdrawn significant liquidity from the platform. With HYPE up over 125% year-to-date, operational risks are rising. Large holders are reportedly hedging with sizable short positions. The regulatory outlook from the CFTC remains a key uncertainty, adding another layer to the ongoing battle over the future of on-chain finance.

Google's AI Chief is Actually the Secret Backer of Anthropic, Hassabis Quietly Controls the Global AI Ecosystem

A bombshell report reveals that Demis Hassabis, the head of Google AI and DeepMind founder, was an early, secret investor in Anthropic, Google's arch-rival in the AI race. This discovery unveils a vast, interconnected empire—dubbed the "DeepMind Mafia"—where Hassabis's capital and influence extend through numerous top AI startups like Inflection AI and Ineffable Intelligence, which have collectively raised over $14 billion. Despite the public rivalry between Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude, Hassabis personally funded Anthropic at its inception, a stake now astronomically valuable given the company's reported $900 billion valuation. Furthermore, a close, mentor-like relationship exists between Hassabis and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. Concurrently, Hassabis has consolidated power within Google. Following the 2023 merger of Google Brain and DeepMind into Google DeepMind, his loyalists have assumed key leadership roles across Google's AI and cloud divisions. However, Hassabis continues to operate his power base from London, not Silicon Valley. The report paints a picture of Hassabis as a master strategist, quietly orchestrating the global AI ecosystem through a web of personal investments, former protégés, and internal corporate control, ensuring his influence prevails regardless of which public-facing company wins in the market.

New Paradigms and Investment Logic in the Era of AI+Web3

In the era of AI+Web3, a venture capital firm shares insights from reviewing numerous projects. The AI industry is seen as still early-stage, structured in a "seven-layer matrix" from power infrastructure to AI agents. Investment timing is crucial, especially in cyclical sectors like AI data centers. The integration of AI and Crypto is deemed essential for two reasons: 1) AI agents require "financial sovereignty" for micro, high-frequency, machine-to-machine transactions, and 2) blockchain provides trust and auditability to address AI "hallucinations" and ensure transparency. The core investment principle is "honesty." Teams must be genuine, not hastily assembled, and products must be substantiated by real metrics, not just flashy demos. Projects built on honesty are valued for long-term success over short-term hype. Looking ahead, the most underestimated opportunity for 2026 is the deep fusion of AI, blockchain, and entertainment. While most investment focuses on B2B infrastructure like payments and decentralized computing (DePIN), the future lies in consumer applications. As AI automates most human labor, society will shift towards leisure, creating massive demand for high-quality entertainment. AI can power immersive experiences (e.g., NPCs with autonomous consciousness in games), while blockchain secures digital ownership and economic systems. This convergence could unlock tremendous value in user time and capital within virtual worlds. *Disclaimer: The content represents the author's views for discussion only and does not constitute investment advice.*

Why Are the Most Believers in AGI Buying NVIDIA Put Options?

The article analyzes the significant, market-moving 13F filing for Q1 2026 by Situational Awareness LP (SALP), a fund managed by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner. While Aschenbrenner is a prominent believer in the accelerated arrival of AGI and has built the fund as a focused bet on AI infrastructure, the filing revealed large new put option positions (totaling billions in notional value) on key AI/semiconductor names like Nvidia, SMH ETF, Broadcom, and AMD. The article argues this is not a bearish turn on AI but a sophisticated hedging strategy. Given the macro backdrop in late March (rising oil prices, inflation concerns, higher-for-longer interest rates), the fund is managing volatility in its high-beta, high-valuation portfolio of AI infrastructure plays (like Bloom Energy, CoreWeave, Core Scientific). The puts act as "insurance" against a potential systemic pullback in the AI trade. Simultaneously, SALP maintained or added to core long positions in companies tied to power, data centers, compute, and storage—the "bottlenecks" expected to capture AI capital spending. It trimmed or exited some Q1 winners (e.g., Lumentum) and reduced leverage (e.g., selling CoreWeave calls), suggesting a rotation from crowded, high-momentum trades towards assets with clearer long-term fundamental pathways. The key takeaway is an evolution in the AI investment theme: from a broad, linear rally to a more discerning, "show-me-the-money" phase. The focus shifts from simply buying the AI narrative to identifying companies that can convert capex into tangible revenue, while actively managing portfolio risk in a volatile macro environment. The strategy reflects a move from unilateral bullishness to "offense with defense."

AI Saved a Group of New Energy Investors

The article "AI Saves a Group of New Energy Investors" details a remarkable turnaround in the green energy investment sector, driven by its convergence with artificial intelligence infrastructure. After a prolonged downturn marked by valuation slumps and funding cold spells since 2022, the sector has experienced a dramatic resurgence in 2026. This shift is attributed to new policies, particularly the "AI-Energy Synergy" national strategy, which mandates green power and energy storage systems for new large-scale computing centers. This redefines green electricity and storage from traditional manufacturing into core, indispensable assets for AI's operational backbone, creating a new narrative where "computing power equals electricity, and green power equals assets." This paradigm change is reflected in surging market performance. Power stocks like Datang Power have seen massive gains, and green energy ETFs have recorded significant capital inflows. The IPO market is also active, with companies like Sige New Energy listing successfully. Investment and financing have accelerated sharply, with major expansion projects and large-scale IPOs like China Resources New Energy's record-breaking offering. Notably, some top projects have seen valuations rebound by approximately 60%. The article highlights that the previous industry trough became a prime investment window. With AI-driven demand predicted to create massive power shortfalls (e.g., a projected 55GW gap for data centers), sectors like energy storage, grid upgrades, and green power are seeing explosive growth. Investors are now prioritizing areas like power management, large-scale storage, virtual power plants, and supporting technologies like liquid cooling—the "pick-and-shovel" plays of the AI infrastructure boom. Examples like KKR's highly successful investment in cooling company CoolIT Systems underscore the lucrative opportunities. In conclusion, the integration with AI has sparked a fundamental revaluation of new energy assets. For investors who endured the sector's低谷, a harvest season has arrived, with the broader investment upswing seemingly just beginning.
