Suspected Sonic Labs-Related Address Transfers 11.78 Million S Tokens to Binance, Valued at Approximately $5.55 Million

According to Bloomberg, NVIDIA (NVDA.US) and Amkor Technology (AMKR.US) have signed a $1.5 billion agreement to support the latter in expanding its chip packaging capacity, as part of a broader initiative to grow semiconductor operations in the U.S. Per a Thursday statement, the deal includes an upfront payment from NVIDIA that will help Amkor enhance its manufacturing capabilities in Arizona. The news sent Amkor’s shares surging roughly 15% in after-hours trading. The two companies said the collaboration will focus on chip packaging and testing technologies for the artificial intelligence sector. Packaging is a critical final step in semiconductor manufacturing, during which chips are housed in enclosures to enable connection with other components.

ARK Invest Research Head Lorenzo Valente published a report noting Blockworks data indicates Hyperliquid’s real-world asset (RWA) transactions built on the HIP-3 protocol are growing rapidly. Last week, Hyperliquid’s RWA trading volume surpassed crypto asset trading for the first time, accounting for 54% of the platform’s total trading volume. Individual stock trading emerged as the fastest-growing segment: since June, its volume has outpaced indices and commodities, now making up roughly 61% of Hyperliquid’s total RWA volume, signaling on-chain financial markets are expanding beyond pure crypto assets to traditional assets. Data shows last week, total perpetual contract trading volume across decentralized exchanges (DEXs) hit ~$79 billion, with Hyperliquid contributing ~$50 billion. Of that, HIP-3 RWA volume reached $26 billion—even exceeding the combined crypto perpetual contract volume of all other DEXs. RWA trading may not fully consolidate around existing crypto trading platforms; distinct asset classes could develop their own leading players, and future competition among trading platforms may shift from vying for crypto asset traffic (such as BTC, ETH, SOL) to competing for on-chain trading demand for real assets like stocks and commodities.

According to official announcements, decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator ODOS has announced it will cease operations following an evaluation. Its applications will enter read-only mode on July 27, 2026, with all services permanently shut down on July 30. The platform stated users can still perform swaps and close positions normally for now, but new user registrations, new wallet creation, and limit order functions have been disabled since July 23. ODOS emphasized it operates on a non-custodial model, meaning users retain full control of their assets (stored on-chain) and the platform never holds user funds. For users who created wallets via social media accounts or email, ODOS reminds them to either transfer assets or export private keys before July 30. After service closure, users will still be able to view historical transaction records and account balances, but the team will no longer provide product development, technical support, or maintenance. The official added users need not worry about asset safety, but recommends migrating to alternative services as soon as possible. Additionally, ODOS noted the ODOS token remains independent on the blockchain; the company will not custody, operate, or make a market for the token, and the platform’s shutdown will not alter its on-chain operating mechanism. The ODOS DAO is independent of the operating company, and future plans will be announced separately by the DAO. The official also warned no new products, token migrations, claim events, or airdrops will be launched in the future. Any attempts to induce users to act via direct messages, fake customer service, or "migration websites" may be scams, and users must never disclose their mnemonics or sign suspicious transactions.
