privacy coins still can't say what they're for, besides trading

privacy coins like monero and zcash promise private, untraceable payments. the pitch is old, but most of the trading volume is still speculation, not people paying for things. the question of what they are actually used for keeps coming back whenever the sector pumps.

805Kviews
285replies
243reposts
HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
  1. look up monero and zcash on coingecko and compare trading volume to market cap
  2. check how many exchanges still list privacy coins and which have delisted them
  3. look at on-chain activity on a monero or zcash explorer and compare it to the price action
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
if you trade privacy coins, know whether you're buying a use case or a narrative. price moves on hype can reverse fast when real usage doesn't back them up. not financial advice.

purrdat perp on hyperliquid's xyz market jumps 21.1% in 24h on $19.5M open interest

the purrdat perp on xyz, a HIP-3 market (a perp market anyone can deploy), rose 21.1% in 24h. open interest, the total value of open positions, sits at $19.5M, with $41.3M traded. a move like that on a small deployer-run market shows how fast HIP-3 liquidity can swing.

+21.1%24h
$19.5Mopen interest
HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
  1. open app.hyperliquid.xyz and find the xyz markets in the perps list
  2. look up purrdat and check the 24h change, open interest and volume
  3. compare the numbers with the hyperdash page for the same market
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
hip-3 markets can move hard on modest open interest, so size and leverage matter. check who deployed a market and how deep the book is before trading it.

HYPE jumps 17% to $91.42 as NYSE owner ICE backs hyperliquid perps in the US

hyperliquid's token $HYPE rose 17% in 24h to $91.42, about 7% under its all-time high. the news: ICE, the company that owns the NYSE, is teaming up with trade[xyz], a HIP-3 market (perp markets anyone can deploy), to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on hyperliquid to the US. the HYPE perp traded $2.8B with $2.0B open interest, and funding sits at +0.51% a day, so longs are paying a lot to stay in.

+17.0%HYPE 24h
$91.42price
-6.7%from ATH
HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
  1. open app.hyperliquid.xyz and look at the HYPE perp: 24h change, open interest and funding rate.
  2. on coingecko, check the HYPE price and its distance from the all-time high.
  3. search ICE and trade[xyz] on X to read the partnership announcement from the sources themselves.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
a regulated-market link is a real narrative for hyperliquid, but funding at +0.51% a day means leveraged longs are crowded and pay for it. watch funding and open interest before assuming the move has legs. not financial advice.

So a $700 billion bailout for the banks, an $80 billion bailout for the auto industry, a $50 billion bailout for the airlines and a $3 trillion Fed bailout for the stock market are all "capitalism" but unemployment checks are "socialism?"
