According to Hyperinsight monitoring, an address (0x9311) on Hyperliquid holds a heavily leveraged long position on Bitcoin. Currently, it has opened a 40x long position of approximately 272.7 BTC, with a nominal value of around $16.3 million, at an average entry price of roughly $60,519, and a liquidation price of $57,640. Bitcoin is currently trading at $59,720, and this long position has an unrealized loss of about $210,000 (-50%). The whale’s liquidation line is only ~3.5% (roughly $2,085) away from the current price, making it the BTC address with the closest liquidation level among all whales holding tens of millions in positions on Hyperliquid. If Bitcoin falls another ~3.5% from current levels, breaking below $57,640 (the $58,000 threshold), this $16.3 million long position will trigger forced liquidation. Amid Bitcoin’s continued weakness in recent trading, the address added to its losing position to average down its entry cost. The latest addition occurred on June 29, when it opened additional long positions at $59,347; the position has been gradually built up since June 24 via thousands of trades.

According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the DRAM index tracking spot memory prices has corrected from its high amid spillover from South Korean storage sector sell-offs, falling around 6% in 4 hours and currently trading at $70.68. A large whale (0x7b5) on the Hyperliquid platform opened a position at the start of the month, entering a long position with 20x leverage and adding to it via rolling positions, resulting in its liquidation price hanging above the average entry price. The liquidation line stands at $68, only about 3.8% (roughly $2.7) away from the current price, with a position size of $5.2 million. Among on-chain large positions on the platform, the average entry price of long positions is around $70.12, while that of short positions is approximately $68.35. The notional size of short positions is roughly 2.35 times that of long positions, indicating an overall bearish sentiment. The largest short is the "Storage Chain Short Main Force" (0x4e23), which is shorting the entire storage chain (including Micron, SanDisk, and Western Digital). It holds a $14.29 million DRAM short position with 6x leverage (average entry price: $77.73, opened on June 24), with an unrealized profit of $1.47 million as of now.

Robinhood’s prediction market platform business is growing rapidly. Steven Quirk, Robinhood’s chief brokerage officer, said the company’s annualized revenue run rate has reached $500 million. For the second quarter ending June 25, Robinhood’s active contract trading volume hit approximately 12.3 billion contracts. At a standard rate of 1 cent per contract, the prediction market revenue for the quarter is projected to be at least $123 million. Its recently launched Rothera prediction market platform generated over 900 million contracts in trading volume in its first week, driving nearly a 60% increase in Robinhood’s active contract trading volume. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency trading volume declined due to weak institutional activity, with the second-quarter crypto revenue projected to come in below $134 million. Prediction market revenue is on track to surpass crypto revenue as early as this quarter, emerging as a faster-growing revenue stream.

Nasdaq confirmed that SpaceX (SPCX) will officially be added to the Nasdaq 100 Index on July 7, less than a month after its June 12 listing, marking one of the fastest inclusions in the index’s history. Under Nasdaq’s new rules, some large IPO companies only need to complete 15 trading days to qualify for inclusion, a sharp reduction from the previous multi-month waiting period. JPMorgan Chase estimates this inclusion will bring roughly $4.3 billion in passive fund inflows. Currently, over $800 billion in assets are tied to the Nasdaq 100 Index; related ETFs and index funds will begin synchronized allocations after the July 6 market close. Given SpaceX’s limited tradable shares relative to its total market capitalization, the concentrated short-term buying could significantly impact supply and demand. However, market divisions persist. Morningstar’s chief stock strategist considers the stock overvalued, noting SpaceX posted a net loss of $4.9 billion last year with highly volatile earnings performance. By contrast, S&P Dow Jones Indices has explicitly ruled out a fast-track process, with the S&P 500 retaining its existing standard of a minimum 12-month waiting period.
