According to Israeli media reports, Iran’s state television aired a news segment detailing methods to contact US President Donald Trump’s son Barron Trump, and mentioned a $10 million bounty. The roughly three-minute report displayed locations and online platforms allegedly linked to the purported operation, while also attempting to map Barron Trump’s social circle and find ways to infiltrate the US Secret Service security system. However, the claims about the operation presented in the report rely heavily on staged visuals and provide no evidence to support the alleged plan to contact Barron Trump. The state broadcaster also released a video days ago offering advice on how to assassinate US First Lady Melania Trump. Barron Trump is Trump’s youngest son and the only child he shares with his third wife, Melania Trump.

According to monitoring by TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight), as the HYPE token hits a new all-time high today, the "largest on-chain HYPE long holder" holds a 5x leveraged long position of 1.38 million HYPE, with an unrealized profit of approximately $56.56 million. The address has so far paid $5.03 million in funding fees for this position. The address opened a roughly $40 million 5x leveraged HYPE long position on October 23, 2025, about five hours before Robinhood announced it would list HYPE spot.

Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), shared in a post that his market views over the past six months are as follows: he expected a rebound from the previous low, judged the rebound would end at the May peak, and repeatedly flagged July-August as the final bottom-buying opportunity over the past two months. He noted this does not mean he is always correct—every investment and trade is a new start, so one must stay cautious, humble, and maintain sound risk control strategies.
