According to ChainCatcher news, market analysts pointed out that DAT (Digital Asset Treasury/Asset Management Carrier) currently holds about 9% of HYPE circulation in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, accounting for a higher proportion than similar structures of mainstream assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB. Analysts believe that DAT, as an important carrier of institutional participation, has introduced a new "balance sheet buying" to the market, making up for the lack of continuous allocation of funds in previous cycles. Among them, HYPE is one of the few assets currently trading at a positive mNAV (market value premium), giving related treasury instruments stronger financing capabilities. In addition, the recent revision of ETF application documents is seen as a sign of gradual clarity on the approval path. The report pointed out that in the context that DAT has continued to absorb liquid chips, if the ETF is approved, the new passive funds will directly act on the relatively limited circulation order, and superimpose the early institutional position structure, which may form more direct support for the price. However, the analysis also suggests that HYPE's current circulation ratio is still low compared to the fully diluted valuation (FDV), and the release of structural supply is still a potential variable.

According to ChainCatcher news, Google Cloud and the Solana Foundation have jointly launched a payment system Pay.sh for AI agents, supporting on-demand payment of API call fees on the Solana chain through stablecoins. The system is based on the x402 protocol incubated by Coinbase, allowing AI agents to discover, call, and pay API resources without registering an account or subscribing to services, achieving a "pay as you go" micropayment model. According to reports, AI agents can bind Solana wallets as identity identifiers, recharge balances through stablecoins or credit cards, and automatically complete payments when calling cloud services including data analysis and model inference. Pay.sh runs on Google Cloud and connects backend services through the API proxy layer, such as large model calls and container applications. In addition, the system is compatible with Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) and connects to more than 50 API service providers, covering scenarios such as communication, e-commerce, and on-chain data. Officials said the model will help promote the development of the "Agentic Economy", allowing AI agents to consume and call Internet services independently.

According to ChainCatcher news, Bitcoin mining company IREN Limited has agreed to acquire cloud infrastructure software company Mirantis in an all-stock transaction of approximately $625 million to improve its AI cloud business layout. The acquisition will introduce key software and orchestration capabilities to IREN to help it better monetize its expanding GPU and data center resources. Mirantis focuses on Kubernetes-based cloud infrastructure tools that enable automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Analysts noted that the deal values Mirantis at about 4 to 5 times its revenue and is intended to help IREN catch up with AI cloud competitors such as CoreWeave and build a complete "full-stack new cloud" capability. This merger and acquisition is also a significant step in IREN's transformation from a Bitcoin miner to an AI infrastructure platform. Previously, the company had raised about $3.6 billion through equity and convertible bonds to expand GPU and data center production capacity, and the overall construction investment may exceed $9 billion. Upon completion of the transaction, Mirantis is expected to operate as a separate subsidiary.
