Odaily News: According to HyperliquidNews monitoring, Hyperliquid's total open interest has reached an all-time high of 358,047 contracts.

Odaily News - Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that after adding 3,156 BTC in August alone, the company could potentially become the world's second-largest publicly listed corporate Bitcoin holder by the end of 2026, trailing only Strategy. However, he also emphasized that this is not his baseline expectation and would require multiple factors to align.

Cole noted that Strive currently has over $700 million in unexercised warrants, set to expire in mid-October. If the company's stock price breaks through the $27 exercise price, warrant conversion could bring hundreds of millions of dollars in funds to Strive for further Bitcoin purchases. He indicated that if combined with approximately $700 million in digital credit capacity, the company's potential capital capacity for buying BTC could reach $1.4 billion.

Strive significantly accelerated its buying pace in August, purchasing 3,156 BTC in a single month, compared to just 136 BTC added in July. The company now holds a total of 23,156 BTC, valued at nearly $1.9 billion, and has become the world's fifth-largest publicly listed Bitcoin treasury company, surpassing crypto exchange Bullish last week.

The current second-largest publicly listed Bitcoin holder is Twenty One Capital, which holds 43,514 BTC—roughly twice Strive's position. With 17 weeks remaining before year-end, if Twenty One does not add further positions, Strive would need to purchase approximately 1,200 BTC per week on average to surpass it. The article notes that Twenty One has not added new BTC since July 2025, making this goal theoretically possible.

Odaily News The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has published responses to its request for comments on "Novel ETFs," funds that may hold crypto assets or employ unconventional strategies. The divergence in opinions centers on whether filing documents should remain public before the fund begins trading, and how fast the review process should be.

Crypto asset manager Grayscale and the crypto policy organization Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) support an optional confidential filing period to reduce the likelihood of competitors submitting imitation filings. Charles Schwab opposes full confidentiality and suggests disclosing filings at least 75 days before a fund launches.

Grayscale requests the SEC to respond within 45 days, while CCI argues that the confidential process should not extend the automatic effectiveness or review deadlines. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) supports shortening the review timeline but emphasizes that the rigor of the review should not be reduced. Trading firm Jane Street, however, contends that accelerating the process could lead to lower product quality, competitiveness, and liquidity.

The U.S. currently has 174 ETFs related to crypto assets. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) manages approximately $61 billion in assets, accounting for roughly 38% of the total assets of related ETFs. The SEC will determine whether adjustments will be made to the confidentiality arrangement and review speed of filings. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily Odaily News: HyperliquidNews posted on X platform stating that none of the top 5 trading pairs by volume are HIP-3.

Odaily News: HyperliquidNews posted on platform X that Hyperliquid's user count has surpassed 2.5 million.

Odaily reported that BitcoinTreasuries.NET posted on X platform that UK-listed company B HODL has purchased another 1 Bitcoin, currently holding 167.487 Bitcoins, ranking 93rd in the Bitcoin 100 list.

According to Odaily, two Thai businessmen, Nutthawat Rukthammachalern and Natthawat Kasamvilas, have filed a lawsuit against stablecoin issuer Tether in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that Tether blacklisted 42.4178 million USDT. The lawsuit was filed on August 31 and refiled the following day. On-chain records show that 10 Ethereum addresses were batch-frozen on October 30, 2025, within a span of two and a half minutes, while the seizure order cited in the lawsuit is dated February 19, 2026—a gap of more than three months. The plaintiffs claim they purchased USDT on the secondary market and had no contractual relationship with Tether. The complaint alleges that Tether acted at the informal request of the U.S. government, conveyed through Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, before the seizure order was issued. On November 2, 2025, Tether informed Natthawat Kasamvilas that it had "no further information," without disclosing that it had already frozen the funds on its own initiative. The lawsuit asserts five causes of action, including conversion, trover, and unjust enrichment. The defendants are four Tether entities: Tether Holdings, Tether International, Tether Operations, and Tether Investments. The case is presided over by Judge Lewis J. Liman. Tether has previously stated that its cooperation with law enforcement has resulted in the cumulative freezing of over $4.4 billion in assets, with more than $2.1 billion of that total linked to U.S. authorities.
