Polymarket’s U.S. platform moved even faster and its 15-minute bitcoin markets did $91.76 million in their first full week, from Sept. 23 to 29. Daily volume climbed from $2.40 million to $27.71 million, and reported transactions grew from 63,650 to 739,034 over the same stretch.

The original token was only the start, and as expected, within a couple of hours, more than 20 fresh CARTI tokens had been created and spread across Solana, Robinhood Chain and Arc. Most of them carried the same name and image,…

Subsequently, the third consecutive weekly decline, spanning October 19 to October 25, drove the cryptocurrency further lower to $80,048.

Yan, the co-founder and CEO of Hyperliquid Labs, described a division between the blockchain’s infrastructure and the businesses deploying trading markets on it. In the original interview, he compared the network to internet protocols that support financial applications without themselves being regulated as those applications. He said deployers specify contracts and supply oracle prices — data that tracks an asset’s price outside the blockchain — while inheriting the network’s order-book and clearing technology. A regulated entity could therefore operate markets using the blockchain, he argued, without making the underlying network a traditional exchange. Duffy’s subsequent Odd Lots interview challenged that…
