A crypto whale, known by wallet address 0x8709ac3CeaAe2a7A70c1D8e39DF9804def7cAC54, invested $5.6 million in XAUT tokens and placed significant trades on Hyperliquid.

This investment highlights the ongoing interest in tokenized commodities like XAUT and metals. It contributes to increased market activity and reflects the growing role of decentralized exchanges like Hyperliquid.

The whale bought 1,066 XAUT tokens using $5.6 million USDC, demonstrating robust interest in tokenized gold. Subsequently, $3.5 million was deposited into Hyperliquid to open long positions in silver and gold. These actions indicate a strong bet on these metals while also shorting NVDA positions.

Such movements can impact the markets, as evident in the increased XAUT volumes, which have recently observed historic levels. The funding, entirely self-provided, spans spot market purchases and derivatives on decentralized exchanges.

Broader economic implications suggest increased interest in cryptocurrency-backed metals trading amid global economic shifts. Speculation reflects on market sentiment, potentially affecting other gold-pegged assets and increasing Hyperliquid’s importance in such trades.

Experts from Lookonchain tracked and reported the whale’s activities, noting a substantial move into metals trading.

While community and official reactions remain sparse, this trade showcases how decentralized finance facilitates large-scale, strategic financial actions.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories.

Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
