Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken stated that after the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approved Bitcoin spot-linked perpetual futures contracts, the company plans to launch regulated Bitcoin perpetual contract products for U.S. institutional clients within the next 30 days. Kraken mentioned that the related products will be available on its parent company Payward's recently acquired CFTC-regulated trading platform Bitnomial Exchange.Previously, Payward announced in April that it would acquire the crypto derivatives platform Bitnomial for up to $550 million to expand its presence in the crypto derivatives market. Meanwhile, Coinbase also quickly followed suit after the CFTC approval, providing U.S. institutional clients with access to global crypto options and perpetual contract markets through its futures brokerage business. As the regulatory framework gradually clarifies, competition in the domestic U.S. crypto perpetual contract market is rapidly intensifying.CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that the issue has never been whether crypto asset perpetual contracts will exist, but whether they will operate under U.S. regulation, U.S. standards, and the U.S. rule of law framework. Additionally, CFTC staff released guidance on 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement on the same day, providing further regulatory support for around-the-clock trading of crypto derivatives.

Since this wallet holds funds in the cUSDC contract, the entire contract was automatically swept into a standard holding freeze. This is merely incidental damage and not a sanction against the Zama Protocol. The Zama legal team has intervened and is isolating the flagged address, and will restore access for all unaffected participants as soon as possible.

Hyperliquid's lobbying organization, Hyperliquid Policy Center, issued a statement welcoming the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)'s latest regulatory initiatives, including the approval of the first listed perpetual contract in the U.S., the release of a policy statement on the listing of perpetual derivatives, related interpretive guidance, and a no-action relief letter, as well as staff consultation documents regarding 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement.The Hyperliquid Policy Center stated that these initiatives represent the first time in a long while that regulators have explicitly acknowledged the legitimacy and importance of perpetual contracts in price discovery and risk management. It pointed out that past regulatory uncertainty has led to related markets and liquidity flowing overseas, weakening the U.S.'s competitiveness in the global derivatives market.The Hyperliquid Policy Center also expressed its eagerness to work closely with the CFTC to promote the establishment of a regulatory framework that applies not only to centralized intermediaries but also to on-chain protocols. Currently, most perpetual contract trading activities actually occur in on-chain markets.

According to The Block, quantitative market maker Wintermute has announced its entry into the prediction market sector, providing two-way quote liquidity services for several mainstream event contract platforms, marking the official expansion of its trading infrastructure into the emerging market at the intersection of crypto and traditional assets.The company stated that it has been continuously providing buy and sell bilateral quotes on multiple "leading platforms," with the total monthly trading volume of these prediction markets exceeding $20 billion this year, indicating that this sector is growing rapidly but still in the early stages of liquidity. Wintermute's annual trading volume exceeds $3.5 trillion, and this expansion further strengthens its cross-asset market-making capabilities.Jake Ostrovskis, head of OTC trading at the company, stated that prediction markets have a demand structure similar to traditional major asset classes, but liquidity is still insufficient, requiring continuous bilateral quotes to enhance price discovery efficiency and trading depth. He pointed out that tighter spreads and greater trading capacity will improve the quality of market probability signals.In the industry, institutions such as Jump Trading and Galaxy Digital have also entered this field, with some platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi having a cumulative trading volume exceeding $150 billion. Analysts believe that Wintermute's entry further promotes the integration of prediction markets and crypto infrastructure, especially in terms of stablecoin settlement, on-chain clearing, and risk management systems, as these markets gradually approach a derivatives-level institutional development structure.

The attacker (0xe806...b760) exploited this vulnerability by calling transferOwnership() to set the attacker contract as the owner when the owner was address(0) through permission checks, then called desertJasper() to add hidden balances to the queue, and subsequently called glenFlash() to execute ashBud(), directly increasing the address balance by 1e30 basic units without increasing the totalSupply. The attacker transferred the inflated tokens to PancakePair (0xd46d...83fd) and exchanged them for WETH through swap().

The Hyperliquid ecosystem project Ventuals posted on X: "We have noticed that about an hour ago, there was an incident in our SPACEX market. One of the off-chain data providers, which is a component of the oracle price, returned erroneous data, causing severe fluctuations in the oracle price and mark price of that market, which in turn triggered the liquidation of some users' positions.We have taken immediate measures to prevent similar situations from occurring in any Pre-IPO market and are assessing the impact of this incident on affected users to formulate an appropriate compensation plan. Affected users will receive compensation within the next 48 hours.According to previous news from ChainCatcher, the SPACEX-USDH perpetual contract on Hyperliquid experienced a 45% flash crash last night."

The trading volume of this contract in the past 24 hours was only $5.01 million, with an open interest of less than $2.9 million, and the market depth was insufficient to absorb large sell orders. SpaceX plans to conduct an IPO in June.
