The Chopping Block: Hyperliquid’s Not-So-DeFi Moment, 23andMe, & STABLE Act - Ep. 808

Bullish:

• $STABLES - Stablecoin regulations may be less restrictive than initially thought, potentially benefiting the stablecoin sector. However, yield offerings on stablecoins might face opposition from the commercial banking sector.

  • “I think it's going to be less restrictive with the exception of yield. I think the commercial banking sector as it currently exists doesn't wanna see yield on stablecoins.”

Bearish:

• $HYPERLIQUID - Concerns about Hyper Liquid's handling of the Jelly Jelly incident, particularly regarding their decision-making process and fairness in determining winners and losers in the perpetual market, could negatively impact their reputation and potentially their market value.

  • “Closing it out in such a way that the HLP pool profited after being in a horrific position is the part that's a little bit confusing because when anybody profits in a perp market, somebody else has lost. And I think this is a very clear example of the Hyper Liquid team slash validators choosing an incorrect winner and an incorrect loser in this situation.”
