1. "What potential Alpha does Hyperliquid's HIP3 offer after 2 days of launch?"
Hyperliquid's performance this year has already been impressive. But Hyperliquid's true ambition goes far beyond that. The newly launched HIP-3 upgrade has transformed Hyperliquid from a Perp DEX into a new kind of composable financial Lego. The current HIP-3 ecosystem includes more than 20 projects, covering trading frontends, liquid staking, DeFi protocols, AI infrastructure, prediction markets, and other verticals. This ecosystem has a distinct feature: most projects are still in the testnet phase, team members mostly use pseudonyms, and funding mainly relies on self-financing, which seems to perfectly align with Hyperliquid's anti-VC values.
While domestic self-media portrayed Doll Sister as making millions by shorting during the recent crash, her actual situation was a spot drawdown with arbitrage profits. She realized once again that the truth is not what people focus on; what you see online is mostly what others want you to see. In a pyramid-structured industry—or in any industry—if you are at the bottom of the pyramid, my friend, what you see will always be the simplest, most widely accepted lies.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029
It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
