Bitget Wallet has integrated Hyperliquid’s HIP‑3 infrastructure, effectively plugging 24/7, permissionless onchain macro markets directly into its self‑custodial “everyday finance” app. Related Reading: Crypto Quantum Scare Is Real Says Top Trading Firm, But Here’s Where The Real Risk Is Hyperliquid Expands Its Frontiers Once More The new joint venture was announced by Bitget Wallet and Hyperliquid on a press release published on Business Insider today. As explained on the announcement, Bitget Wallet users will now be able to trade a broad basket of real‑world‑assets (RWAs) spot and perp markets, all from a single wallet interface. The offered RWAs include around 300 equities and ETFs, major indexes, and commodities like gold, crude oil, and natural gas. Alongside this, users can also partake in chosen local macro products and pre‑IPO markets tied to private names like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. As usual with DeFi, everything runs 24/7/365. Bitget positions the new effort as part of their “everyday finance” push where one app handles both crypto and macro exposure under self‑custody. A Deep Dive In Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 It doesn’t come as a surprise that everyone wants a piece of Hyperliquid right now. Explaining all of the recent achievements of the once-underdog, now-leading perp DEX would amount for half the piece, but interested readers can consult NewsBTC’s coverage of all of it here. Suffice to say that a few weeks ago, the combined HIP-3 open interest surpassed $1.5 billion, with $5.4 billion recorded in perpetual futures volumes across commodities and macro assets, according to Binance. This means that Hyperliquid is now trading more volume in tokenized commodities than digital assets. Hyperliquid’s HIP‑3 turns the protocol into permissionless financial infrastructure, letting builders deploy their own perp markets onchain, with full control over oracles, leverage limits, and settlement logic. Bitget Wallet is effectively riding this rail to surface 24/7 macro markets to its 90M+ user base, without running a centralized exchange order book itself. CEXs offer deep liquidity but require deposit/custody. Since with HIP‑3 markets route through a non‑custodial wallet, user assets stay in their control while accessing similar macro exposure. What This Means For Traders This integration turns the wallet into a front‑end for a 24/7 global macro rail, blurring the line between DeFi and traditional brokerage. As geopolitical shocks and commodity spikes increasingly happen outside regular market hours, traders are leaning on HIP‑3 perps as a real‑time macro sentiment gauge while traditional venues are closed. Related Reading: Crypto Pump‑And‑Dump Era Ends Here? Why DOJ’s New Indictments Should Scare Market Makers The new ventures align with a broader DEX trend where onchain perps volume and open interest are climbing. Some analysts like Arthur Hayes are projecting Hyperliquid’s HYPE token and HIP‑3 markets could challenge centralized incumbents over the next cycle. Bitget Wallet users can now fade or ride moves in gold, oil, equity indexes, and selected pre‑IPO names 24/7, from the same interface they use for crypto, while keeping custody and tapping onchain liquidity. This creates a number of new opportunities, like new hedging tools for crypto‑native portfolios (e.g., short NASDAQ, long BTC during a macro risk‑off), higher weekend and overnight volatility as positions can be opened or closed when TradFi is asleep and anew battleground between CEX derivatives desks and permissionless perps for high‑beta macro flow.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is facing a steep market cooldown after weeks of heightened trading activity in early October. Data from CoinGlass shows that both Open Interest (OI) and trading volume for DOGE futures have crashed, indicating a sharp decline in the meme coin’s momentum. The latest figures reveal a significant pullback in derivatives activity and spot market participation, suggesting that traders may be retreating from speculative positions as volatility eases. Dogecoin Open Interest Crashes Over 60% Dogecoin’s Open Interest has plunged dramatically from its October highs, reflecting a rapid exodus of leveraged traders from the market. According to CoinGlass, total exchange DOGE futures Open Interest has fallen over 62% from a peak of $5.03 billion on October 7 to $1.88 billion on October 28. This represents a drop to approximately 9.41 billion DOGE, valued at $ 0.20 per token. Related Reading: Dogecoin Treasury Company Looking To Use Strategy’s Bitcoin Playbook For DOGE, Here’s How Despite the decline in Open Interest, Binance, BitMEX, and Bybit continue to lead as the top exchanges with the highest Dogecoin futures activity. Still, the downturn has been widespread across exchanges. Kucoin recorded the largest drop in recent hours at 3.1%, followed closely by Bitget, which saw a 2.27% decline. Over the last 24 hours, Bitunix recorded the steepest drop in Open Interest, down 15.86%, while Crypto.com saw a 7.36% reduction. Even Binance, which consistently leads Dogecoin futures trading, has seen a notable pullback. CoinGlass reports that the exchange’s Open Interest peaked at $964.7 million on October 7, marking a monthly high. Since then, it has fallen to $380.29 million (1.9 billion DOGE), representing a staggering 60.6% crash in just over three weeks. Dogecoin Sees Even Worse Decline In Volume Trading volume for Dogecoin has mirrored the collapse in Open Interest. CoinGlass data shows that Dogecoin’s futures volume heatmap across major crypto exchanges is in the red zone. Total trading volume had spiked to $20.45 billion on October 11, following the devastating crypto flash crash on October 10, but has since plummeted to $5.31 billion as of October 28. This represents a whopping 74% decline. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Macro Target Remains Above $2, And The Market Crash Hasn’t Changed It On individual exchanges, Binance’s DOGE trading volume dropped by 9.35% in the past 24 hours, while OKX saw a 13.69% decline. CoinEx recorded the largest volume decrease at 26.1%, followed by Gate.io at 23.94%. Popular exchanges like Bitget, Kucoin, and Bitunix also reported varying declines of 4.96%, 20.37% and 13.16%, respectively, as overall market liquidity thinned. However, a few exchanges bucked the downward trend, recording slight gains. dYdX saw its DOGE volume surge by 167.61%, HTX increased by 49.93%, and Hyperliquid rose by 23.88%. Bybit and MEXC also recorded modest gains of 24.98% and 1.88%, respectively. Alongside its decline in trading volume, CoinGlass notes that Dogecoin’s price performance has slipped. The meme coin is currently trading at $0.20, down 13.19% over the past 30 days and 2.86% in the last 24 hours. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Succinct, a decentralized prover network revolutionizing zero-knowledge (ZK) infrastructure, has officially launched its mainnet and native token, PROVE. The launch, which took place on August 5, 2025, marks a major milestone in the evolution of cryptographic verifiability and scalability in the Web3 ecosystem. Related Reading: $255 Solana? Supply Shock Fuels Bullish Forecast Following the mainnet debut, the PROVE token was listed on Bitget, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange. Within 24 hours, the token surged by over 50%, reaching a trading price of $1.50 and generating over $715 million in 24-hour volume. Bitget’s Succinct (PROVE) Listing Fuels Market Momentum Bitget added PROVE to its Innovation Zone, opening spot trading for the PROVE/USDT pair on August 5, 2025. To incentivize adoption, the exchange launched a CandyBomb campaign featuring 66,666 PROVE in total rewards for traders and depositors. This strategic listing allows users to engage with PROVE through both trading and staking activities. The token will also be listed on Binance, where it carries a Seed Tag and supports multiple trading pairs, further increasing its visibility and liquidity. Succinct (PROVE) is trading near $1.2 and analysts note signs of consolidation ahead of a possible surge. PROVE's price trends to the upside on low timeframes, following its debut on major crypto exchanges. Source: PROVEUSD on Tradingview Powering the Future of ZK Infrastructure The PROVE token is the backbone of the Succinct Prover Network, a decentralized, two-sided marketplace where developers request ZK proofs and independent provers compete to fulfill them. Unlike traditional systems that require complex and costly infrastructure, Succinct simplifies the integration of ZK proofs via a general-purpose zkVM that supports languages like Rust. Currently, the network supports 35+ protocols, has processed over 5 million proofs, and secures more than $4 billion in value. Notable partners include Polygon, Mantle, Lido, and Celestia. Looking Ahead Succinct’s approach to verifiable computation is drawing comparisons to foundational internet protocols, with CTO John Guibas noting, “Our goal was to make proving infrastructure accessible at internet scale.” With strong developer traction, dual exchange listings, and a scalable infrastructure model, Succinct is well-positioned to become a core component of blockchain scalability and privacy.

The Shiba Inu price continues to attract the attention of analysts, who are watching for its next potential move. A recent report from Finder, based on the insights of 26 crypto industry experts, reveals a cautiously optimistic outlook for SHIB. Finder, a US-based information service, released a new quarterly report featuring price predictions for Shiba Inu in 2025. The report is based on a comprehensive survey conducted in January 2025, during which 26 crypto industry specialists shared their insights on Shiba Inu’s potential price by the end of 2025 and its projected performance through 2035. Diverging Opinions On SHIB Price In 2025 According to the panel, Shiba Inu is forecasted to reach an average price of $0.0000399 by year’s end, marking an 84.3% increase from its January starting point of about $0.00002165. For its long-term price projection, the panel predicts that the popular meme coin will see a steady rise in the following years, erasing one zero to reach $0.0001971 by 2030 and $0.0008543 by 2035. Related Reading: Bitcoin Analyst Says Shiba Inu Price Is Not Hitting $1 – Here’s Why Gracy Chen, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bitget, a crypto exchange, is among the most bullish voices among the panelists for the Shiba Inu price outlook. Chen cites SHIB’s positive technical indicators and recent support/resistance developments as signs of an ongoing bullish trend. She projects that the Shiba Inu price could hit a new target of $0.00006 by year-end. This represents 445.45%. Increase from the meme coin’s current market value of $0.000011. Similarly, Ruadhan O, founder of Seasonal Tokens, sees SHIB closing 2025 at $0.00005, though he warns of Dogecoin’s enduring dominance in the space. He believes that Dogecoin will most likely take the spotlight away from SHIB, making it unlikely for it to reach a new all-time high this year. Notably, not all panelists share the same bullish optimism for Shiba Inu. John Hawkins, a senior lecturer at the University of Canberra, projects that the price of SHIB will crash significantly, losing half of its value in 2025, falling to as low as $0.00001. His bearish prediction stems from the belief that meme coins could experience a similar decline to that of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Hawks points to broader macro trends like US President Donald Trump’s political influence and Bitcoin’s dominance as key barriers that would limit meme coins’ growth. Shiba Inu And Dogecoin Rivalry Continues Despite the majority of Finder’s panelists having significantly bullish projections for the Shiba Inu price, 79% of them agree that SHIB will never surpass Dogecoin in market capitalization. Sathvik Vishwanath, the CEO of Unocoin, believes SHIB’s substantial circulating supply currently and speculative nature limit its long-term bullish prospects. This is despite its rapidly evolving ecosystem, which includes innovative projects like ShibaSwap and the upcoming TREAT token. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Burn Update: 99.44% Daily Burn Crash Could Spell Trouble For Meme Coin When asked whether now is the right time to buy, sell, or hold SHIB tokens, the panel was divided: 57% recommended holding, 13% advised buying, and 30% suggested selling. In addition, opinions on Shiba Inu’s current valuation were mixed. 48% of the panel believed that SHIB was overpriced, while 44% stated that it was fairly priced. Ronen Cojocaru, the CEO of 8081 Inc., was among the most bullish panelists. He forecasted that SHIB could hit $0.00000743 by year-end, although he acknowledged that Shiba Inu is currently overpriced.

The crypto market is back up again after a recent decline like clockwork, and prices are starting to push up once more. Interestingly, this renewed momentum has seen Dogecoin open interest flipping from a negative threshold into a positive one. As the meme coin’s price gains traction, traders are once again pouring into derivatives markets, pushing the total open interest above $4 billion. Dogecoin Open Interest Surges With Market Revival According to data from Coinglass, Dogecoin’s total open interest has climbed back above the $4 billion mark, indicating a resurgence in trading activity. This comes after the Dogecoin price rebounded on the $0.31 multi-year support again and started its move upwards again. Related Reading: Dogecoin Open Interest Explodes Ahead Of Donald Trump Inauguration, Traders Bet On $1 Interestingly, data from Coinglass show that the Dogecoin open interest has increased by 3.11% and 2.09% in the past 24 hours and 4 hours, respectively. This shift suggests that traders are once again looking at Dogecoin as a promising asset for leveraged plays, betting on further price movements. The most notable DOGE open interest is on the Gate.io exchange, which has seen an increase of 5.14% in the past 24 hours. This brings its total open interest to $1.64 billion, accounting for 41% of the total rate. Bitget and BingX have also witnessed notable uptrends, with the Dogecoin open interest growing by 6.41% and 6.67%, respectively, in the past 24 hours. Binance, on the other hand, is yet to flip into positive open interest change. The world’s largest crypto exchange is still on a -0.13% open interest rate in the past 24 hours but is also on the verge of a positive rate with a +1.41% increase in the last four hours. Increased Leverage Could Lead To More Price Volatility A rise in open interest means that more traders are opening leveraged positions, which could amplify price swings in either direction. Interestingly, Dogecoin often experiences strong price movements during periods of increase in open interest. This latest increase alone means that there is an increase in market participation in Dogecoin. Related Reading: Dogecoin Weekly RSI Approaches The MA Line, Can Price Resume Uptrend To Break $0.74 ATH? If bullish sentiment continues, this market participation may drive the Dogecoin price further upward within the $0.30 to $0.4 range in the short term. However, it also raises the possibility of more liquidations if Dogecoin were to retest support at $0.31 again. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.3316, marking a 7% gain since bouncing off its multi-week support at $0.31. The next step for the meme coin is breaking above a recently developed daily candlestick resistance at $0.3316, which could then pave the way for further upside momentum if sustained buying pressure continues.
