Users can execute Hyperliquid perpetual trades directly within Nansen while tracking on-chain activities of Smart Money, whale addresses, and prominent investors, with real-time access to key metrics including funding rates, long-short position ratios, and wallet-level position distributions—enabling an integrated "research-to-trade" experience.

Beyond trading features, Nansen has expanded its data coverage of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, including on-chain activity monitoring for HyperFND and the Hyperliquid Data API. Users can track real-time active HyperEVM addresses, contract deployments, and ecosystem growth, while development teams can access real-time Smart Money perpetual positions, unrealized profit and loss (PnL), account health, full transaction history, and performance data via the API—supporting quantitative analysis, strategy development, and application building.

Two plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit against Polymarket, alleging breach of contract and fraudulent conduct in a prediction market tied to whether Strategy would sell its Bitcoin holdings by the end of May. According to the complaint filed in New York State Supreme Court on July 3, plaintiffs William Wood and Thomas Bush named Polymarket, its CEO Shayne Coplan, CMO Matthew Modabber, and other related entities and individuals as defendants. The complaint states the two held "Yes" positions in a binary prediction market with the question: whether Strategy would sell any Bitcoin holdings by May 31. Per Strategy’s Form 8-K filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the firm did sell 32 Bitcoin (BTC) between May 26 and 31. However, the plaintiffs say Polymarket ultimately ruled the market "No". They allege the platform added a clarification ahead of settlement, effectively shifting the judgment criteria from "whether the sale was completed by May 31" to "whether the sale was publicly confirmed by May 31". Due to this criteria change, even though Strategy sold Bitcoin within the deadline, the prediction market was ultimately ruled "No" on June 3 via a UMA vote — Polymarket’s mechanism for resolving disputed markets.
