Bitcoin and the Stock Market
A new Wintermute report notes the BTC–Nasdaq-100 correlation ≈ 0.8. Synchronization is stronger on the way down than on the way up — BTC tends to move with equities mainly when things go wrong. Analysts add that this negative asymmetry historically appears closer to bottoms, not tops.

MSTR: From Premium to Discount
MicroStrategy (MSTR) long traded at a premium to its “bitcoin NAV” (BTC on the balance sheet ± operating business − debt per share) — but now trades at a discount.
Why it flipped: spot ETFs offer cheaper, cleaner exposure; MSTR carries leverage/issuances tied to BTC purchases; and in risk-off phases investors avoid extra layers and complexity.
Hyperliquid × POPCAT
For the third time, Hyperliquid sits at the center of a high-profile incident. A trader moved $3M from OKX to Hyperliquid, aggressively longed POPCAT, placed a ~$30M buy wall at $0.21, then suddenly removed it.
Result: the price crashed, longs were wiped, the trader’s collateral was lost, and the HLP liquidity system took ~$5M in losses. Deposits/withdrawals were paused temporarily.
Cascading liquidations followed.
