$BTC.X ( ▼ 2.15% ) is holding around $114K, $ETH.X ( ▼ 2.47% ) is steady above $4.1K, and Solana’s stealing the spotlight as the NYSE just listed the first-ever Solana spot ETF while the U.S. government is still shut down. Only in crypto 😭

Meanwhile, a runaway trading bot turned DeFi upside down overnight, sending $HYPE to nearly $100 in seconds. Traders are still trying to process that one.

Here’s what we got for you today:

• 👀 The tokenization boom rewrites how we invest

• ⚡ The “runaway bot” that sent HYPE to $98

• ⭐ NYSE lists altcoin ETFs mid-shutdown

• 🔥 Burning hot takes for the road

We’ve talked about meme coins, AI agents, and the next Solana run... but there’s a quieter revolution happening under the surface.

Traditional assets (stocks, bonds, even real estate) are getting tokenized and traded on-chain. It’s not just a buzzword anymore. This RWA movement is letting investors own fractions of what used to be untouchable, 24/7, from anywhere.

⚡ THE “RUNAWAY BOT” THAT SENT HYPE TO $98

Late last night, something wild went down on Lighter, a rising perp DEX that’s been gaining traction lately.

A runaway trading bot glitched out and accidentally sent the price of $HYPE.X ( ▲ 3.63% ) soaring from $49 to $98 in a matter of seconds. Yes, you read that right. The chart basically went vertical.

Here’s the quick breakdown:

• Lately, an automated trading bot (nicknamed a “runaway bot”) malfunctioned and fired off massive buy orders.

• Those buys cleared the entire HYPE order book, pushing the token to nearly $100 in seconds.

• The candle looked so insane that traders thought Lighter got hacked or that someone was manipulating the price.

But according to Lighter’s official statement, it wasn’t a hack or market manipulation.
Just a dumb bot gone rogue.

So… Did they fix it? Kind of. Lighter confirmed that:

• The spike was real, all trades were executed and recorded on-chain.

• But because that candle distorted the chart view (everything else looked microscopic next to a $98 wick), the team decided to remove the candle from the UI.

A weird night for DeFi, a lucky day for some traders, and a subtle win for Lighter’s system design. Because if your perp DEX can survive a bot going berserk at 2 AM and still stay online… you’re doing something right.

🧃 NYSE JUST DROPPED SPOT ALTCOIN ETFS… DURING A GOV. SHUTDOWN?!

Wait, what?

While the U.S. government is literally frozen, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) just quietly listed four new spot crypto ETFs, including a big one for Solana ($SOL.X ( ▼ 0.01% ) ) from Bitwise.

Yeah, the timing is insane.

During the government shutdown, when the SEC is mostly out of office, NYSE greenlit:

• Bitwise Solana Fund

• Grayscale Solana Trust

• Canary Capital Litecoin Fund

• Canary Capital Hedera Fund

Trading starts this week, making them the first-ever spot altcoin ETFs listed in the U.S. after the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs earlier this year.

Solana might be stealing the spotlight, but Litecoin ($LTC.X ( ▲ 0.63% ) ) and Hedera ($HBAR.X ( ▲ 6.68% ) ) are quietly catching up.

Canary Capital just rolled out two new spot ETFs, the Canary Litecoin ETF and the Canary HBAR ETF, giving both assets their first regulated home on Wall Street.

They may not grab the loud headlines, but these are solid, fundamentals-first plays:

• Litecoin remains the crypto world’s reliable workhorse, fast, proven, and stable.

• Hedera, backed by corporate heavyweights like Google and IBM, continues to attract institutional trust with its governance model.

Not flashy, just quietly building; and now, officially traded on the big board.
