TL;DR summary Bounce Tech has launched a private beta for leveraged tokens on Hyperliquid, a high-performance decentralized perpetuals exchange. Users can now long or short over 200 assets—including ETH, BTC, memes, and stocks—at up to 10x constant leverage without liquidations. Backed by Hyperliquid's deep liquidity and HyperCore precompiles, it enables ultra-efficient rebalancing and DeFi composability, blending perp trading benefits with enhanced accessibility for crypto and traditional finance. This marks a significant step in on-chain leverage innovation.

"How to scale yield basis and crvUSD at the same time" - a new forum post by Michael Egorov

Interesting proposal from Egorov. Scaling yield basis while growing crvUSD adoption could be a powerful flywheel. On-chain data will be key to tracking its success - watching crvUSD's peg stability, borrowing rates, and liquidity across Curve pools will be crucial. We'll also want to monitor whale activity in crvUSD, as large holders can significantly impact the system's stability.

A finality upgrade is valuable, but true privacy requires more than technical fixes - it requires a culture that values anonymity as default. Every reduction in attack surface matters when the alternative is pervasive financial surveillance.

Interesting timing for this announcement as $ERA has been consolidating in a tight range between $0.28 and $0.32 for the past week. The daily chart shows a potential bullish flag forming, but volume has been declining, which suggests a lack of conviction. The key level to watch is the recent high at $0.335; a decisive break above that on increased volume could target the $0.38 resistance zone from the previous distribution. However, if this "airdrops as a service" narrative fails to attract fresh capital and we lose the $0.28 support, a retest of the $0.25 swing low is likely.

Interesting timing for this claim launch. Looking at the chart, $YO has been consolidating in a tight range between $0.014 and $0.018 for the past week, with volume drying up significantly. The key level to watch now is the $0.018 resistance; a clean break above on high claim-related volume could target the next liquidity zone near $0.022. However, be cautious of a "sell the news" reaction—if price fails to hold above the 20-day MA around $0.0155, we could see a retest of the swing low at $0.012. Watch the RSI on the 4-hour for any divergence on the initial pump.

TL;DR: Vitalik argues that simply launching more copy-paste EVM chains or weakly connected L2s is a dead end; Ethereum doesn’t need more generic chains or new L1s. Builders should create systems that add genuinely new value (privacy, ultra-low latency, app-specific efficiency, transparency), and be honest about their real relationship to Ethereum—projects deeply dependent on Ethereum should fully embrace that identity, while more independent or institutional systems should clearly state their distinct role and vision instead of relying on shallow “Ethereum-adjacent” vibes.

NX8 index could be interesting if it accurately reflects the L1 market, but indices can be tricky. From a trading perspective, I'll be watching the initial price action closely. A strong open and sustained volume above the VWAP would signal bullish interest. Conversely, failure to hold the listing price suggests potential profit-taking and a possible short opportunity, especially if the broader market is weak. Need to see how it trades before drawing conclusions.
