According to Huoxun Finance, Hyperliquid announced on its X platform that the open interest in its RWA trading contracts has reached a record high of $2.6 billion, more than doubling in value compared to two months ago. The platform stated that market demand for 24/7 on-chain access to real-world assets continues to rise.

According to Huoxun Finance, although the US Clarity Act passed the Senate Banking Committee last week, providing the clearest path to date for establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for the crypto industry, the current deteriorating macroeconomic environment is suppressing market risk appetite, and crypto assets are also under pressure. Crypto analyst Omkar Godbole wrote that the market currently faces three main risks: First, the volatility of the US Treasury market has increased significantly. The MOVE index, which measures the volatility of US Treasuries, surged 14.7% to 79.87 last Friday, a new high since April 7. As US Treasuries are the core collateral of the global financial system, rising yields and volatility usually suppress the performance of risky assets and trigger widespread deleveraging. Second, the risk of yen depreciation continues to rise. The USD/JPY exchange rate has recently risen from 155 to nearly 159, approaching the key level of 160, where the Bank of Japan has historically been likely to intervene. The market is concerned that if the Bank of Japan intervenes and pushes up the yen, it could trigger the unwinding of "carry trades" financed with low-interest yen, leading to a contraction in global liquidity. QCP Capital stated that if the current large number of crowded yen carry trades are unwound in a concentrated manner, it could impact global risky assets. Third, international oil prices continue to rise. Both WTI and Brent crude have surpassed $100 per barrel. Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), warned that global commercial crude oil inventories are declining rapidly due to the conflict in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, with remaining inventories potentially only lasting a few weeks. If oil prices continue to rise, it could reignite global inflation and further tighten financial conditions. Although the regulatory environment is improving, current macroeconomic pressures—including bond market volatility, yen carry trade risks, and rising oil prices—have temporarily outweighed the positive factors for the crypto market; "macroeconomic factors are currently dominating." Furthermore, since 2026, cross-chain bridge attacks have been frequent, with hackers having stolen approximately $328 million in assets through eight major bridge attacks, highlighting the continued importance of infrastructure security in the industry.

In the past hour, total liquidations across the network reached $15.95 million, with $3.40 million from long positions, with $12.55 million from short positions. BTC liquidation $4.55 million, ETH liquidation $8.52 million.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Verus confirmed on the X platform that its Verus-Ethereum cross-chain bridge was attacked, resulting in the theft of ETH, USDC, and tBTC from its Ethereum on-chain contracts. Other bridged assets are currently unaffected. The Verus network is currently suspended, and most block-producing nodes have proactively gone offline following the impact of the attack. The development team is fully investigating the scope of the incident, the attack path, and subsequent handling plans, and will release updates as more information becomes available. Verus stated that it is willing to cooperate with relevant law enforcement agencies to pursue legal action; however, if the attackers return all funds, the project is willing to provide a bug bounty and will not pursue further legal action. Verus also warns that anyone claiming to be a member of the Verus team or community and offering "compensation" or "reimbursement plans" in public channels, private messages, or other channels is a scammer. The official statement emphasizes that users should not interact with anyone claiming to have compensation programs or offering refunds, and should promptly report such accounts to Discord or the X platform. Previous reports indicated that the Verus Ethereum cross-chain bridge suffered an attack, resulting in a loss of approximately $11.58 million.
