Ventuals has incurred a cumulative loss of approximately $260,000 over the seven months of operation, and the Pre-IPO On-Chain Private Sale Market experiment has come to a close
June 16: Ventuals announced yesterday it’s officially shutting down and merging into another team under the Hyperliquid ecosystem, putting an end to its "24/7 On-Chain Private Sale Market" experiment.
Per BlockBeats’ data analysis (using DeFiLlama’s revenue calculations), Ventuals’ platform revenue totaled just $124,651, while ticker registration and auction fees hit $383,242 (equivalent to 15,031 HYPE tokens). The platform posted a net loss of $258,591, with revenue covering only 32.5% of ticker costs—meaning costs ran roughly 3.1x higher than revenue. Factoring in hidden expenses like team salaries, liquidity provisions, and front-end operations, actual losses will be even larger, with a core projected loss of about $259,000.
Notably, the 500,000 HYPE tokens raised through vHYPE crowdfunding and their price appreciation gains aren’t counted as part of the platform’s profits. Holders can redeem HYPE at a 1:1 ratio plus on-chain staking rewards, so these funds don’t qualify as platfo

Organization: Fed Stands Pat This Week, Powell's Hawkish Tilt in Focus
June 16 – Capital Economics is virtually certain the Federal Reserve will hold off on raising interest rates at its upcoming policy meeting this week. The firm’s chief North American economist, Stephen Brown, notes Fed Chair Jerome Powell isn’t expected to unveil updated interest rate forecasts during the gathering, but is almost guaranteed to field questions about his rate outlook at the post-meeting press conference.
Brown warned the market faces a key risk here: Powell’s comments could come across as more hawkish than investors are bracing for. That might stem from communication missteps, or simply because his current stance is less dovish than it was when he was in the running to be nominated by the Trump administration as Fed Chair.
But Brown also flagged another potential pitfall: If Powell is seen as being constrained by the Trump White House, an overly dovish tone could rekindle worries about the Fed’s political independence and push long-term Treasury yields higher. He added
