The report points out that Hyperliquid has recently entered new domains including IPO pre-market trading, prediction contracts, and Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization—moves that are broadening its appeal to traders who aren’t native to crypto ecosystems.

On May 25, cybersecurity firm PeckShield announced its MistEye threat detection system uncovered a cross-registry supply chain attack. The attacker pushed over 34 malicious packages (across more than 384 total versions) to npm, PyPI, and crates.io, targeting developers in the cryptocurrency, DeFi, Solana, Sui/Move, and AI industries.

This marks one of the first joint initiatives to bring a national fiat currency directly into the digital asset space, operating under a purpose-built stablecoin regulatory framework.
