Ethena Labs submitted a proposal on September 9 to issue Hyperliquid’s native stablecoin USDH, backed entirely by BlackRock’s USDtb stablecoin through institutional partnerships with Anchorage Digital and Securitize.

Ethereum (ETH) is currently priced at $2,914, reflecting a minor 0.6% daily dip after rebounding from July lows below $2,800. The cryptocurrency faces key resistance at $3,000, with technical indicators suggesting a neutral-to-bullish trend.

MicroStrategy (formerly Strategy) anticipates a $15.8 billion unrealized gain in Q2 2025 as it marks its 553,555 BTC treasury to market under new accounting rules (ASU 2023-08). With Bitcoin’s price surge from $82,445 to ~$105k, the paper profit dwarfs its $111M Q1 software revenue and could enable S&P 500 eligibility. The firm recently added 705 BTC (now holding 580,955 coins worth $60B) and launched innovative financial instruments like ‘Strife’ perpetual preferred shares – a 10% dividend Bitcoin-linked security targeting fixed-income investors. Chairman Michael Saylor positions these products as gateways for traditional finance to access Bitcoin’s upside while avoiding volatility. If sustained, Bitcoin’s price could make MicroStrategy’s quarterly profit surpass Oracle’s annual net income and catalyze a synthetic Bitcoin bond market within the $600T derivatives complex.
