Hyperliquid enters prediction markets with HIP-4 As Hyperliquid's HIP-3 perpetual markets have continued to drive significant volumes this year, HYPE has outperformed the crypto majors with an 125 percent year-to-date gain. Although 99 percent of protocol fees already flow into open-market buybacks, the explosive growth of the prediction market sector (USD 68 billion traded last quarter) has now raised expectations that HIP-4 will be the next major growth catalyst for Hyperliquid this year.

"The next generation of global financial institutions will not win on speed alone. They will win on trust, resilience and the ability to bring innovation into a regulated framework and Switzerland has a unique opportunity to lead Future Finance." Earlier today Mathias Imbach, Sygnum Bank Co-Founder and Group CEO, was on stage at the Crypto Valley Conference in Rotkreuz/Zug. Mathias contributed to a panel about "Swiss Champions, Scaling Crypto Native Institutions Globally". Together with Franz Bergmueller (AMINA Bank), Stijn Vander Straeten (Crypto Finance Group) and moderator Jérôme Bailly (Crypto Valley Association). Key take-aways: 💡 Focus relentlessly on what is within direct control: solving challenges, building every day and acting with integrity. 💡 Regulatory developments affect all market participants. The difference lies in how entrepreneurs and management teams respond, and how they deal with them more successfully than competitors. 💡 The future of banking is not about moving fast at the expense of trust. It is about combining innovation with institutional-grade security, governance and compliance. 💡 Swiss banking has the credibility, expertise and regulatory depth to define what a digital asset bank should be globally, not just locally. #FutureFinance #Banking #Crypto Disclaimer in comment.

Sygnum Bank is proud to have participated in Project Agorá, a public-private collaboration convened by the Bank for Bank for International Settlements – BIS) and the Institute of International Finance (IIF) to test a multi-currency shared programmable platform for wholesale cross-border payments. Cross-border payments are burdened by structural inefficiencies that make them slow, costly and opaque, delaying transactions, increasing costs, limiting visibility and siloing liquidity, which weighs on trade, financial activity, innovation and growth. Project Agorá explores tokenised wholesale cross-border payments on a shared platform, enabling atomic settlement using central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits while preserving safety, trust and reliability and opening possibilities such as conditional or always-on payments. “Project Agorá is an important step toward exploring how programmable transaction logic can improve wholesale cross-border payments in practice. By embedding workflow logic, compliance requirements and conditional payment triggers directly into transactions, this approach could reduce reconciliation burdens, manual intervention and other operational frictions,” says Thomas Eichenberger, Sygnum Deputy Group CEO & Chief Strategy Officer. Project Agorá brings together eight central banks, including those of five major reserve currencies, and over 40 leading financial institutions.
