Hyperliquid’s lead in onchain perpetuals drew a fresh challenge from the Solana ecosystem after Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, known as Toly, argued that Solana needs its own atomically composable perp DEX inside the SVM. The debate comes as Hyperliquid is already trying to define its regulatory path in Washington during the advancement of the CLARITY Act. The exchange began with Hyperliquid co-founder Jeffrey Yan saying he had spent several days in Washington with the Hyperliquid Policy Center, meeting policymakers as the CLARITY Act advanced. According to him, the discussions focused on Hyperliquid, its potential benefits for American consumers, and the…

Polymarket is facing renewed scrutiny over how it resolves disputed markets. A Wall Street Journal analysis of blockchain data found that the anonymous token holders ruling on contested bets are often the same people who placed them.The platform outsources dispute resolution to UMA, a decentralised oracle protocol governed by token holders. The WSJ found that at least 60% of active UMA voters are directly linked to Polymarket accounts. In roughly one in five disputes, at least one voter held a direct financial stake in the outcome they were arbitrating. Voting power is also concentrated: more than 50% of it sits…
The MT5 Range Bar indicator tackles this directly by removing time from the equation entirely. Instead of plotting a new bar every minute or every hour, it only prints a new bar when price moves a specific number of pips. No movement, no new bar. It’s a subtle shift in logic, but it changes how a chart reads completely. What the MT5 Range Bar Indicator Actually Does Standard candlestick charts are time-based. A 1-hour candle opens at the start of each hour and closes 60 minutes later, regardless of how much or how little price moved. During low-volatility sessions —…
Three years ago, startup founders loved showing off their AI stack like it was a trophy shelf. A writing tool here, a chatbot there. Maybe an automation layer stitched together with good intentions and a prayer. It looked impressive in investor decks and sounded even better on podcasts. Then reality caught up.

If you trade XAG/USD, silver CFDs, silver futures, or silver ETFs, here’s a deeper dive into what moved silver this week and what to watch going into next week. Monday had no business being bullish. Trump called Iran’s counter-proposal to end the war “totally unacceptable” and said the ceasefire was on “massive life support.” Tehran was demanding sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and compensation for war damages. Oil was rising. And silver surged 6% anyway. Markets were positioning ahead of Trump’s state visit to China. Traders were betting on a more constructive US-China trade backdrop coming out of the…
According to a recent on-chain study, the Bitcoin market has entered another crucial phase, driven by a growing divergence between retail and whale activity.
