I would even say that gold holders and investors should take a look at the petition. There is a significant risk that, once the holding period for BTC ends, other assets (such as gold) will also be taxed in the same way as stocks and other securities. Prof. Rieck has made an interesting video on this topic.
Which cryptocurrencies should experts be paying particular attention to right now, and why?
We would frame this thematically, rather than as tips. $BTC (+0,13%) The core position remains—best understood as long-term monetary hedging rather than as a risky investment. It has proven remarkably resilient amid the Fed’s shift toward a restrictive monetary policy. $ETH (-0,87%) is the direct beneficiary of the tokenization trend and serves as a settlement infrastructure—we evaluate it based on its staking yields. One name that illustrates where the market structure is heading is $HYPE (-1,29%): Prior to the recent SpaceX listing, its SPCX perpetual contract traded over $1.30 billion in 24 hours, and its pre-IPO complex has open positions of around $291 million and a cumulative volume of $6 billion. This illustrates that on-chain venues are becoming true drivers of price discovery for assets that traditional markets either severely ration or fail to price continuously.
Geopolitics is not waiting for the market to open - and neither is Hyperliquid
Geopolitical events do not adhere to stock market opening times. When the US and Israel launched coordinated attacks on Iran on a Saturday at the end of February, the traditional commodity markets were closed. $HYPE (-1,29%)A decentralized perpetual futures exchange, which operates around the clock, was not.
$HYPE (-1,29%) is a crypto-native trading platform based on its own layer 1 blockchain. It is best known for its on-chain order book and permissionless market creation mechanism (HIP-3), which allows anyone to create perpetual futures on almost any asset. Since the escalation in the Middle East #hyperliquid has become a centralized venue for real-time commodity pricing outside of traditional trading hours. Its perpetual contract linked to oil has seen daily volumes of up to around 1.7 billion US dollars - around 250 times what it was before the conflict began. Open interest across all HIP-3 markets exceeded USD 1.2 billion, with only 7 of the 30 largest markets being crypto pairs. Commodities and equity indices accounted for the rest.
This is arguably the most compelling real-world use case for on-chain derivatives to date and a clear signal that 24/7 permissionless markets are no longer a theoretical value proposition.
