Hyperliquid (HYPE) has gone down by 7% today and has accumulated a 15% drop in the past 7 days after a handful of whales reportedly cashed out on their early HYPE bets.
Yesterday, the crypto ****** ytics firm Lookonchain revealed that Multicoin Capital transferred nearly 400,000 HYPE tokens to Coinbase Prime and requested to unstake almost 212,000 tokens less than a month after they published a bullish report on this cryptocurrency.
In a piece ****** led "Hyperliquid (HYPE) ****** ysis & Valuation," Multicoin stated that "Hyperliquid's trajectory looks eerily similar to Binance's early years."
They also set forth a long-term target of $319 for the token, claiming that, at $63, it was currently trading at 36 times its trailing twelve months (TTM) earnings. They projected $8 billion in annual profits by 2028, which, at a 20x price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple, results in a potential 5x gain.
However, this recent move to cash out of Hyperliquid's short-term gains has raised eyebrows about the firm's motivations to publish this report among the crypto community.

How hard do you have to ram a fish to make it explode? Ask an orca.
Barreling into large, heavy fish with enough force to blast them into instant chum is a previously unknown collaborative feeding strategy among orcas, scientifically called Orcinus orca, also known as killer whales.
But in 2024 and 2025, divers captured underwater video of two such events in the Mexican Pacific Ocean and in the Gulf of California. The footage suggests that the brutal body slamming may be in service of a meal — or perhaps a form of play for the orcas, researchers reported Thursday in the journal Frontiers in Ethology.
"I filmed the first event several years ago and couldn't believe what I was witnessing," said lead study author Kathryn Ayres, a research scientist for the marine conservation nonprofit Beneath the Waves and the first to capture orcas' high-speed ramming on video.
Ayres studies sharks but observing orcas that preyed on sharks in the Gulf of California sparked her interest in killer whale behavior. She filmed the encounter on July 29, 2024, while diving as an ocean safari tour guide with the group Latitude Encounters, near the coast of San José del Cabo in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur.

Four beluga whales were welcomed into their new home Chicago's Shedd Aquarium on Tuesday after they were rescued from a failed aquatic park in Canada. They're just a few of the 30 whales that were left behind when Marineland closed last year. The other whales are headed to facilities in Atlanta, San Antonio and San Diego.

Relocations for the first of dozens of beluga whales that remained at the now-shuttered Marineland Canada have begun, according to the aquariums **** isting in the rescue.
Marineland Canada, located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, closed in September 2024 in the wake of controversy and allegations of animal abuse, CBC reported. Thirty beluga whales remained at the facility -- their care funded by donations. But once those donations ran out, their caretakers worried that euthanasia might be imminent -- asking the Canadian government in October 2025 for funds to feed the marine mammals.

On Monday, six of the beluga whales began their journey to their new home, according to several **** ociation of Zoos & Aquariums-accredited aquariums that are collaborating in the rescue.
Veterinarians **** sed the belugas' fitness for travel before they were loaded into specialized cold-water containers and transported by truck and plane, the aquariums said. The belugas, ranging in age from 6 to about 40, have been receiving "top-notch care" and are all in great condition, Eric Otjen, vice president of zoological operations at SeaWorld San Diego, told ABC News.

As Congress debates new regulations around artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, lawmakers' stock portfolios have surged in recent years toward investments in these sectors.
A tracker of the top 50 lawmaker holdings from the financial data platform Unusual Whales shows over $270 million invested directly in top tech stocks, with tens of millions more invested indirectly through market-tracking funds.
It is a level of consolidation that mirrors trends seen in the larger market, with tech far and away the favored sector among lawmakers: 7 of the 8 most popular individual stocks seen in the data are technology companies.
Nvidia (NVDA) is a bipartisan favorite, with about $43 million in lawmakers' accounts. Other tech giants, including Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG), and Microsoft (MSFT), also have tens of millions of dollars each in investment.
This represents a significant shift from recent years, when the proportion of tech holdings was much lower and was primarily seen in Democrats' portfolios.

Older Humpbacks Prove Better at Wooing Mates

As humpback whale populations recover, researchers are gaining a richer understanding of these wondrous creatures. A new study suggests it may take years for humpbacks to learn how to successfully serenade a mate.
Before being decimated by whaling a century ago, there were around 120,000 humpbacks globally, but over decades their numbers were reduced by as much as 95 percent. Since countries agreed to ban commercial whaling in 1986, humpback whales have been rebounding and have nearly recovered in some regions.
For a new study, researchers foll

Every animal with a brain needs sleep — and even a few without a brain do, too. Humans sleep, birds sleep, whales sleep and even jellyfish sleep.
Sleep is universal “even though it’s actually very risky,” said Paul-Antoine Libourel, a researcher at the Neuroscience Research Center of Lyon in France.
When animals nod off, they're most vulnerable to sneaky predators. But despite the risks, the need for sleep is so strong that no creature can skip it altogether, even when it's highly inconvenient.
Animals that navigate extreme conditions and environments have evolved to sleep in extreme ways —

Recent data from CryptoQuant shows that Bitcoin has seen a surge in whale inflows to Binance, reaching $7.5B sent to the centralized exchange over the past 30 days, the highest level ever recorded in a calendar year.
CryptoQuant ***** yst Maartunn said the current spike in whale inflows is similar to patterns seen in March 2025, when Bitcoin moved from around $102K to the low $70K range.
“In those situations, whales typically send funds to exchanges either to take profit or to manage risk when the market weakens. With the 30-day inflow measure still climbing, the data does not yet suggest th

Researchers have observed an increase in the number of whale entanglements in Australian waters. Fishing gear and shark nets can injure and trap marine life, which can contribute to slow, torturous deaths.
Over a period of just a few months as of October, Griffith University researcher Olaf Meynecke and his team in South East Queensland documented 48 entanglements of humpback whales off the Australian coast. As Meynecke wrote at The Conversation, that's more than his team recorded throughout all of last year.
The researcher went on to explain that while humpback whales have made a strong com

You can call it spit, snot or respiratory drops, but a research team has found the moisture that emerges in the unique v-shaped "blow" of endangered North Atlantic right whales holds important clues about their health.
Researchers have collaborated for decades on ways to improve the care, treatment and management of the critically endangered species. But treating the animals when they are ill is a difficult proposition.
The whales weigh in at 70 tons and are longer than a school bus, so taking them to the local vet is out of the question. And when a vet goes to the whale, either to try to re
