💥 Hyperliquid US launch: Kraken is buying the regulated infrastructure to control access Payward, Kraken’s parent company, plans to launch HIP-3 perps for US clients, with trades matched and recorded on Hyperliquid. Access, however, will run through its regulated entities: 🔸 Bitnomial - acquired for up to $550M, holds the required CFTC licenses and will deploy, administer, clear and settle the HIP-3 markets 🔸 NinjaTrader - acquired for $1.5B, is the CFTC-registered FCM handling customer accounts Together, they create a dual-allowlist: users must be approved by both Bitnomial and NinjaTrader. The launch is also subject to regulatory approval, with no date, fees, initial assets or expected volumes disclosed yet Data: Grayscale, CoinDesk, Sept. 16-17 CoinLaunch TG | CoinLaunch X

💎 Diamond hands on BP and $DIME finally got their well-deserved gains after TGE 📍 $BP (Backpack) - The “just buy $BP after the post-TGE dump” thesis doesn’t hold up against the actual chart: TGE took place on March 23, 2026, but BP’s all-time low of $0.1179 was recorded on May 25. Two months after launch, not during the immediate farmer exit dump that the narrative might suggest. On September 21, BP hit a new ATH of $0.9335. A $1,000 investment at the actual ATL would now be worth roughly $7,920 📍 $DIME (Paradex) - From being “5x from ATL” on September 18, it has now climbed to roughly 7.9x ($0.060 vs. an ATL of $0.0076). But there’s an important nuance here: Paradex’s open interest collapsed over the same period, falling to $4.8M from $80M a week earlier The perp DEX niche is growing insanely fast and is starting to look more and more like the AI bubble Is anyone still holding these tokens?

🗺 Lighter’s ecosystem has just crossed 38 projects across three categories Agents, apps/terminals, and trading bots > 11 agents (AI tools for onchain interactions) > 19 apps/trading terminals (the largest category, including dashboards, wallets, and terminals building on top of Lighter) > 8 trading bots/automation tools All of this is being built on top of a DEX that has solid numbers - $784M OI and $696M TVL as of last week An ecosystem map only matters when there’s liquidity underneath it to build on, and @Lighter_xyz has that Our twitter post 👈🏻 CoinLaunch TG | CoinLaunch X

🔎 What is Tickr? 🔗 Tickr - is an early-stage RWA perpetual DEX that hasn’t launched yet, offering gold, oil, equities, FX and pre-IPO shares as tradable perps with leverage from a self-custody wallet, 24/7 🔗 The idea: TradFi closes on weekends, but news doesn’t. Tickr aims to fill that gap with RWA perps that can trade around the clock 🔗 The team claims years of experience tokenizing RWAs, but doesn’t disclose the company behind that track record. No disclosed chain, funding round, audits or token yet 🔗 The waitlist is live, discord opened yesterday, with “Tick Zero” currently the highest role. Spots are limited and can be farmed by claiming a role card and sharing it on X 🔗 Competition is already heating up: Variational raised $50M for RWA perps, while Ostium is already live on Arbitrum with commodities, FX and equity-index perps ⛓️ Apply ⛓️ Discord What do you think of Tickr?

⚡️ What is Derpetual? Derpetual is a Solana protocol building “Abstract Futures” - derivatives on any measurable value, not just BTC/ETH pairs 🔗 P2P markets with no order book or traditional market maker required 🔗 Tested with memecoins through Derptrade, clearing $4M+ in volume 🔗 The same mechanism could eventually be used for tokenized stocks, real estate, commodities, mining difficulty and other measurable values 🔗 Built by Antoni Kiszka, one of the 12 founders in the 2026 Thiel Fellowship class 🔗 The roadmap is to open the protocol for anyone to build on and eventually pursue a CFTC-licensed derivatives exchange 📍 There’s no live token or public product yet beyond the memecoin proof of concept, so the biggest questions are whether “Abstract Futures” work beyond the sandbox and how the regulatory path plays out Our twitter post 👈🏻 CoinLaunch TG | CoinLaunch X

🚨 Arc mainnet goes live TOMORROW Dozens of coins have already been created on arc ahead of mainnet The CoinLaunch team has prepared a list of early coins. Here are the 10 must-watch coins Read the full list on Twitter 👈🏻 CoinLaunch TG | CoinLaunch X

Bulktrade nine days after mainnet bulktrade - the Solana perp DEX that went live Sept 5 invite-only with $25.9M in USDC pre-deposits The dashboard right now: 💠 24h volume: $31.05M (+$15.51M vs prior day) 💠 Open interest: $4.46M 💠 Active traders: 1,569 of 10,305 accounts - 15% activation 📍OI being 7x smaller than volume suggests farmers are mostly flash-trading to farm volume in the first few weeks, rather than actually building positions 📍$4.46M OI is small compared to other Solana venues - Pacifica is at ~$97M and Jupiter ~$75M. But the platform is only 9 days old and has just recently opened beyond invites, so that’s where the upside is For now though, that’s pretty much it Are you still farming after the pre-deposits, or have you already skipped the project?
