The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined 30 Web3 business partners of Hyperliquid, covering multiple key aspects such as stablecoins, cross-chain infrastructure, wallet entry, DeFi protocols, institutional custody, and trading ecosystems, gradually forming a complete on-chain financial system. At the funding level, Hyperliquid has connected with stablecoin issuers such as Circle, Tether, and Ethena. In terms of underlying infrastructure, it connects with cross-chain and oracle services like Chainlink, Axelar, deBridge, and Ripple. The user entry layer includes wallets and front-end tools like Phantom, Rabby Wallet, and DeBank, lowering the entry barrier for users. At the same time, more native DeFi protocols have begun to emerge within its ecosystem, such as Pendle, Felix, HypurrFi, and HyperBeat. According to RootData, the Hyperliquid ecosystem has included 145 quality projects, indicating that Hyperliquid is attracting more financial applications to build businesses around its liquidity. Additionally, the inclusion of custodians like Anchorage Digital, BitGo, and Fireblocks has begun to connect it with larger institutional funds. Trading platforms and market-making institutions like Bybit, trade.xyz, and IMC Trading further enhance market liquidity. Overall, Hyperliquid is continuously expanding around "on-chain liquidity," attempting to replicate the ecosystem model of centralized exchanges on-chain, but the core is no longer an account system.

Some observers view Morgan Stanley's entry into the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF earlier this month as a catalyst to end the current crypto bear market, citing the large distribution capability of the Wall Street giant's $8 trillion wealth advisory network. However, Blockstream CEO and early Bitcoin community contributor Adam Back stated that "it won't happen that quickly."Back was recently speculated by The New York Times to be the anonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, which he denied. Back indicated that from a positive market signal perspective, the Bitcoin ETF could be the most significant development in recent times, even more important than a pro-crypto U.S. government, but this process is slower than most people realize.Back stated, "I think one thing people might be miscalculating is that institutional adoption is very slow. So the ETF has been bought, but when BlackRock suggested allocating 2% to 4% in its general stock portfolio, fund managers had not done that yet. They will, but slower than people expect." He mentioned that investors will not rush in overnight, and the accumulation process could take a year or even 18 months.Regarding prices, Back noted that the cyclical nature of Bitcoin's four-year halving cycle needs to be considered. He pointed out that even if some commentators believe the four-year cycle is breaking down, "people expect it to happen, so they sell to make it actually happen," and a decline could still occur. This logic will only change when people see the market strengthen, which is currently manifesting in the form of institutional capital inflows.Back stated that regarding recent comments about the accelerated development of quantum computing hardware potentially threatening Bitcoin's cryptography, institutions are more systematic in risk management and will focus on tail risks, while retail investors view it as a distant future risk.

Sky announced that it is building Laniakea, a standardized infrastructure framework for institutional-level capital deployment, for its Sky Agent Network.Currently, Sky Protocol manages over $11 billion in USDS circulation and generates returns through strategies such as DeFi lending, private credit, and compliant real-world assets. Laniakea will serve as the underlying infrastructure to enhance the scalability and efficiency of capital allocation, further advancing on-chain finance towards institutional levels. The project aims to address the current issue of over $300 billion in idle stablecoins and the lack of unified infrastructure.Laniakea will achieve standardization from four dimensions: smart contracts, risk and governance, data infrastructure, and legal compliance, allowing new capital products to avoid redundant construction of underlying frameworks, thus enabling modular expansion and scalable deployment. At the same time, through unified risk measurement and loss layering mechanisms, it ensures that risks are transparent and responsibilities are clear.Under this framework, Sky Agents (Primes) will develop investment strategies and compete for capital allocation based on unified standards, while specific products (Halos) will quickly land based on shared infrastructure. Laniakea will also encode the entire protocol's operational status in a machine-readable manner, providing a foundation for AI-driven real-time risk control and capital scheduling.As the capital scale expands and returns increase, Sky expects to strengthen the value capture capability of the SKY token through buyback and staking mechanisms.

According to Techiexpert, Telegram has launched a no-code AI bot building tool. Users only need to interact with the LobsterFather bot to obtain a key (token), which can then be connected to platforms like Telewer, GPTBots, or Lazy AI. By selecting options, users can set the bot's conversation style and functions, supporting different AI models such as GPT and Llama.Users can also create a Master Bot to manage and assign tasks to sub-bots, suitable for handling multiple chat groups or customer inquiries. This feature is integrated with Telegram Business, allowing the bot to autonomously reply to messages or organize communities. Users can have the bot welcome new members 24/7, filter spam, and answer frequently asked questions. However, it is important to be aware of third-party data security risks.

During tonight's Bitget "Obsidian Night," the head of Bitget AI products provided an in-depth analysis of the AI trading assistant, Agent Hub, and GetClaw product matrix, and officially announced the launch of the Bitget AI ecosystem co-creation plan. He pointed out that AI should not just be a pile of functions within the exchange, nor should it be an exclusive tool for institutions, but rather a key lever for ordinary users to achieve trading equality. Relying on the UEX unified architecture, these AI tools can now seamlessly integrate into cross-asset trading scenarios, providing users with professional-level strategy assistance 24/7.In the second quarter of 2026, Bitget will focus on advancing three AI ecosystem initiatives: hosting the world's first AI trading hackathon to provide developers with technical resources and a showcase platform; collaborating with creators to produce practical tutorials; and opening up B-end cooperation to co-build a developer ecosystem with project parties and tool vendors. The head of Bitget AI products stated that this plan aims to aggregate industry strength and accelerate the deep application of AI technology in Web3 trading scenarios.

ChainCatcher reported live that the Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, Chan Ho Lam, delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. He pointed out that Hong Kong has developed into the third global financial center index and the first international financial center in Asia, providing a solid foundation for Web3 innovation.He stated that the digital asset development policy declaration 2.0 released last year proposed the LEAP framework, which covers four pillars: optimizing legal regulation (L), expanding the variety of tokenized products (E), promoting application scenarios and cross-border cooperation (A), and developing talent and partnerships (P).He revealed that there are currently over 10 licensed trading platforms in Hong Kong, and the Monetary Authority has issued the first two stablecoin issuer licenses this month. The SAR government issued the third batch of tokenized green bonds last year, which is the largest scale globally, and is actively formulating regulatory systems for digital asset trading service providers and custodial service providers.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform: "The agent business has not yet been fully priced by the market. Machine-to-machine payments will drive demand for digital dollars beyond current expectations. The scale of the agent economy may surpass that of the human economy, and Coinbase is building infrastructure for both."

The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined Mastercard's cryptocurrency business partners, which now exceed 100, covering multiple key areas such as public chains, stablecoins, trading platforms, risk control services, and payment infrastructure. Unlike Visa and PayPal's more "selective partnership" strategy, Mastercard aims to become the connective layer for all payment links.Structurally, this network can be understood as a "multi-node collaborative system":Assets and Settlement: Through stablecoin issuers like Circle and Paxos, as well as multiple public chains, it undertakes on-chain assets and settlement capabilities.Connection and Circulation: Integrating cross-chain protocols, custody services, and payment channels to allow different chains and assets to flow within its system.Compliance and Security: Introducing risk control service providers like TRM Labs and Elliptic to build compliance capabilities aimed at the global regulatory environment.Applications and Reach: Collaborating with exchanges, wallets, and financial institutions to transform on-chain capabilities into user-perceived payment and consumption scenarios.Therefore, Mastercard's strategy is essentially not about selecting suppliers but about lowering access thresholds and expanding network externalities. It connects more upstream chains and asset issuers while attracting payment institutions and financial terminals downstream, making its strategy more aligned with the center of the next-generation payment system.

NASDAQ-listed company AVAX One Technology (AVX) announced the advancement of its AI infrastructure strategy. The company has signed a FEED plan for a 10MW AI/HPC microgrid data center, located in Alberta, Canada, leveraging the local low-cost natural gas power to create a high-cost-performance, scalable dedicated AI computing facility. The project is designed by BlueFlare and is one of the first AI computing centers in the area.At the same time, the company invested less than $500,000 to purchase 220 Bitmain S21 Pro mining machines, increasing Alberta's computing power from 150 PH/s to over 200 PH/s. This move serves as a transitional cash flow source during the construction period of the AI center, achieving a dual-track layout of "mining + AI computing power" to quickly monetize existing power capacity.
