Hyperliquid (HYPE) price is up 11.44% to $75.78, significantly outperforming the broader market, driven by strong institutional ETF inflows and a surge in trading of SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual contracts on its platform.
Spot ETF demand and SpaceX perp frenzy, with over $17M in net ETF inflows and $1.2 billion in SpaceX futures volume driving platform activity and token demand.
The rally is anchored by two clear catalysts. First, regulated spot ETFs for HYPE saw net inflows exceeding $17M in the past 24 hours, bringing cumulative inflows to $171 milion and signalling strong structural demand.
Second, Hyperliquid’s SpaceX-linked perpetual contract (SPCX) saw over $1.2B in pre-IPO futures volume, becoming the platform’s most-traded asset and demonstrating its expansion into non-crypto markets.
Platform stats show a record 44,000+ new wallets in a day, total users surpassing 2.15 million, and open interest holding near $9.64 billion. Furthermore, AI trading agents are actively executing on-chain, with some showing high returns.
The key risk is a loss of momentum and profit-taking, which could trigger a pullback toward the $70 support zone. The bias is bullish but entering a critical resistance zone where volatility may increase.
An anonymous wallet (0x15A9) withdrew 572,900 HYPE tokens, worth approximately $40 million, from Coinbase Prime and immediately staked them on the Hyperliquid platform.
This is bullish for HYPE because moving such a large sum off an exchange and into staking reduces immediate selling pressure (supply lock-up) and indicates a long-term holding strategy focused on earning yield, reflecting deep confidence in the network’s security and future.
The combination of institutional ETF demand and a wildly successful new trading product has propelled HYPE to new highs with strong volume confirmation. Hyperliquid Price Falls 10% Amidst Stablecoin Rule Warning

That distinction matters because most derivatives, including futures, perpetual futures and options, require a view on where the price is going. Volatility futures eliminate that complexity, letting traders express a view purely on how BTC will move in either direction.
Shiliang Tang, CEO of Monarq, called the launch a positive step in broadening regulated volatility offerings.
As bitcoin continues to mature into a more mainstream institutional asset class, the demand for sophisticated risk management instruments grows alongside it. Robust tools like CME Group Bitcoin Volatility futures are exactly what investors need to accurately express their market viewpoints and efficiently hedge their portfolios within a secure, transparent framework," he said in the press announcement
Monarq Asset Management is an institutional-focused, quantitative, and systematic digital asset investment firm, managed by former executives from firms such as LedgerPrime, Tower Research, and BlockTower Capital. DV Chain is a liquidity and market-making service provider.
The launch of volatility futures expands CME's existing product suite, comprising bitcoin and ether standard and micro futures and options contracts. The platform's crypto derivatives business has reached roughly 266,900 contracts year-to-date, up 38% year-on-year, while average daily open interest stands at roughly 274,500 contracts, up 18%.

HKMA teams up with mainland regulators to develop a cross-border platform linking cargo data and electronic bills of lading, aiming to cut trade finance friction and plug Chinese supply chains into global markets
The MoU signals growing adoption of bitcoin in real-world plumbing, targeting $1.5 trillion in annual cargo finance where paper work and jams still cost a lot in delays in fraud.
By plugging mainland cargo data into Hong Kong’s international-facing infrastructure, officials aim to reduce friction in cross-border trade while reinforcing the city’s status as the primary conduit between China and global capital markets.
Under the agreement, the parties will study the creation of a cross-border platform under the HKMA’s Project Ensemble framework. The initiative will explore the use of electronic bills of lading and blockchain-based documentation to streamline trade finance, while connecting with Hong Kong’s Commercial Data Interchange and CargoX to facilitate secure data sharing.
For Hong Kong, the move extends its digital asset strategy beyond tokenized green bonds and into the real economy. Instead of focusing solely on sovereign issuance or crypto markets, regulators are targeting the operational bottlenecks in cargo finance, where paper documents, fragmented data, and manual verification continue to slow credit decisions.
If successful, the platform could embed Hong Kong deeper into mainland supply chains while offering international investors and banks a compliant gateway to Chinese trade data. In doing so, the city is attempting to turn blockchain from a pilot project into core cross-border financial infrastructure.

WASHINGTON, April 23 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration is considering more than doubling an annual refugee limit to bring more white South Africans into the ​U.S., according to three people familiar with the matter.
Trump, a Republican, paused refugee admissions from around the world when he took office in January 2025. Weeks later, ‌he issued an executive order prioritizing the resettlement of European-descended Afrikaners, saying they faced race-based persecution in majority-Black South Africa. South Africa’s government vehemently denies the claims.
The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program was formally established in 1980 after hundreds of thousands of people fled wars in Vietnam and Cambodia. The program expanded to provide safe haven to persecuted people around the globe. Trump has used it almost exclusively to bring white South Africans into the U.S., ​part of a broader upending of norms around humanitarian protection, opens new tab.
In recent weeks, U.S. officials have discussed expanding the 7,500-person refugee cap by 10,000 to allow more South Africans of ​Afrikaner ethnicity to obtain refugee status, said people familiar with internal planning, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share non-public government discussions.
On Thursday, Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Veprek said an increase in the refugee limit was being considered, but did not provide details. "We're looking ​at the pace of resettlement right now and thinking about how quickly it's going, and do we need to increase the ceiling for the current fiscal year as well," he said at ​an event hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports lower levels of immigration.
The ⁠White House referred questions to the U.S. State Department.
Blacks make up 81% of South Africa's population, according to 2022 census data. Afrikaners and other white South Africans constitute 7% of the population.
During the apartheid era, which ended with the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa maintained a racially segregated society with separate schools, neighborhoods and public facilities for people classified as Black, colored, white or Asian.
Trump set the record-low refugee ceiling of 7,500 for fiscal year 2026, which began October 1, 2025, ‌down from ⁠a ceiling of 125,000 a year under former President Joe Biden.
The U.S. ​admitted about 4,500 South Africans as refugees through the first six months of the fiscal year, State Department figures show, on pace to exceed Trump’s existing limits for the program. The only ​refugees other than white South Africans to enter this fiscal year were three Afghans, according to State Department statistics.
U.S. officials are weighing whether religious minorities from Iran and countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union could be included under what’s known as the “Lautenberg” program, the person said. The program stems from a 1989 budget amendment introduced by then-U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg that aimed to make it easier for Jewish refugees to resettle in the U.S.
The Trump administration is also discussing bringing in refugees of other nationalities, one of the people familiar with planning said.
Even as ​Trump looks to further ramp up the entry ​of South Africans, an internal U.S. government ⁠email reviewed by Reuters showed that at least four refugees already in the U.S. have returned to South Africa.
One South African who arrived in Minneapolis in late January departed the U.S. less than a month later, the email showed. Case notes said that plans for his daughter and ​grandchildren to join him “fell through” so he returned to his home country.
A pair of South Africans who arrived in Twin Falls, Idaho, in ​late January via the ⁠refugee program turned around a week later, saying a parent was ill in South Africa, the email showed
Another South African resettled in Moline, Illinois, in mid-March returned home weeks later, the email said.
Resettlement occurred quickly, she had not thoroughly thought through the process, and her family in South Africa has decided not to continue their own resettlement process,” case notes said. “Additionally, the client’s age (66) and ability to provide ⁠for herself is ​a concern.”
Trump has portrayed South Africa as dangerous and oppressive for whites, yet thousands of white South Africans abroad have ​returned to the country in recent years, Reuters reported in March.
U.S. government contracting documents reported by Reuters in February said the U.S. aimed to process 4,500 white South Africans per month through the refugee program. The documents also said the ​State Department paid to install more than a dozen trailers on embassy property in Pretoria to conduct interviews.

U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who presided over Bankman-Fried’s 2023 fraud trial and sentenced him to 25 years in prison, issued the ruling in New York, according to court records reported by Bloomberg and Inner City Press. The judge described Bankman-Fried’s arguments as “baseless on multiple independently sufficient levels.”
The motion, filed pro se around Feb. 10, 2026, asked the court to grant a new trial under Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Bankman-Fried alleged that new witness testimony from former FTX executive Ryan Salame and an individual identified as Daniel Chapsky undermined the government’s case.
Prosecutors pushed back hard in March 2026, arguing the claims had no merit. Judge Kaplan agreed, finding that the purported new evidence would not likely produce an acquittal given the weight of proof presented at trial.
Before the ruling came down, Bankman-Fried sent a handwritten letter to the court on April 22, 2026, asking to withdraw the motion without prejudice. He gave two reasons: he had not been given enough time to respond to the government’s opposition, and he did not believe he would get a fair hearing from Judge Kaplan.
The judge denied that request, too, and ruled on the motion anyway.
Bankman-Fried’s letter also addressed questions the court had raised about who wrote the filing. He denied improper ghostwriting but acknowledged that his mother, Barbara Fried, provided editorial suggestions and helped print the document. Judge Kaplan had scrutinized the submission because Fried is not a licensed attorney.
Bankman-Fried was convicted in November 2023 on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy tied to the collapse of FTX and his trading firm Alameda Research. Billions in customer funds went missing. He was sentenced in March 2024.
His direct appeal is pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, with oral arguments held in 2025. That case remains active and is separate from the Rule 33 motion Judge Kaplan just denied.
A request to have Judge Kaplan removed from the case on bias grounds is also still pending. Bankman-Fried reserved the right to refile the new trial motion once that reassignment request and his direct appeal are resolved
For now, his 25-year sentence stands. No changes to his incarceration status have been ordered.
The latest ruling closes the district court door on this particular legal effort, though Bankman-Fried retains options at the appellate level. How the Second Circuit handles his direct appeal will likely shape what comes next.

XRP dipped 1.50% to $1.42 as rising oil prices and stalled US–Iran talks pressured global risk sentiment.
Brent crude climbed above $105.50 for a fifth straight day, while US yields and the dollar rose and global equities weakened.
GraniteShares delayed its 3x Long and Short XRP ETFs to May 7, marking the fifth postponement in three weeks amid regulatory pressure.
XRP (XRP) failed to extend its upside momentum on Friday, dropping by circa 0.50% to $1.42. The downside moves came as oil remained strong and global risk sentiment suffered due to a lack of progress in the US–Iran peace talks.
XRP remained under pressure as oil prices extended gains for a fifth straight day, with Brent crude rising above $105.50 a barrel amid stalled US–Iran de-escalation talks.
The macro impact spread across markets. US 10-year Treasury yields and the dollar index both headed for their first weekly gains in a month, while global equities tracked by MSCI’s All-Country World Index (ACWI) moved toward a weekly decline.
The lack of progress has kept the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, disrupting global oil flows and raising supply concerns.
GraniteShares has delayed the launch of its 3x Long and 3x Short XRP ETFs from April 23 to May 7, marking the fifth postponement in three weeks.
The 3x Short XRP ETF would be the first regulated product allowing traders to short XRP with 3x leverage through a standard US brokerage account.
The delay follows earlier SEC pushback on similar products, including ProShares’ decision to withdraw its own 3x XRP ETF plans in December 2025. Another delay on May 7 could put the 2026 launch in doubt.
Bitwise said a new crypto cycle is taking shape and that assets like XRP could be among the beneficiaries, ahead of CIO Matt Hougan’s scheduled appearance at XRP Las Vegas on April 30.
The asset manager’s comments come as XRP remains a focus for institutional crypto products and conference-driven market narratives.
Bitwise has a commercial interest in broader crypto adoption through its digital asset investment products, making its XRP remarks notable but not independent of industry exposure.
He urged investors to focus on confirmed Ripple partnerships and real XRP Ledger usage rather than rumors of undisclosed government deals
