Aave suffers oracle glitch, triggering $26M in unfair liquidations Aave experienced a temporary oracle malfunction on its Ethereum Core and Prime instances, resulting in approximately $26M in wstETH positions being unfairly liquidated across 34 accounts. The issue stemmed from an inconsistency between the snapshot ratio and the snapshot timestamp used for its risk oracle. This caused the oracle to report a capped exchange rate of roughly 1.1939 - well below the actual market rate of around 1.228. The team noted that a compensation plan is underway, using 141.5 ETH recovered from the incident and up to 345 ETH from the DAO treasury to reimburse affected users. 🔗governance.aave.com/t/post-mortem-exchange-rate-misallignment-on-wsteth-core-and-prime-instances/24269 @TOP7ICO

Hyperliquid & HIP-3 Overview: HYPE is up 30% in 14 days $HYPE is up 30% over the last 14 days. FDV sits at $33.5B with the token trading at $34.88. The protocol has alreadybought back 24.2MHYPE ($837M) from the market - and burned an additional 579K HYPE ($20M). The most aggressive buyback program in crypto, 97% of all revenue goes directly back to token holders. HIP-3 Ecosystem Open Interest leaderboard: • trade.хyz: $1.04B (approximately 87% of total protocol-level OI) • Dreamcash: $59.6M • HyENA: $49.6M • Kinetiq: $18.9M • Felix: $14.6M • Ventuals: $9.53M Why Arthur Hayes is bullish on $HYPE In his latest essay, Hayes calls Hyperliquid the highest quality project in all of crypto by real users, real revenue, and real returns to token holders. His price target: $150 by August 2026 - roughly 5x from where it traded when he wrote the piece. His core argument: $HYPE trades at ~12x P/E while CME, Robinhood, and Coinbase trade at 26–40x. That gap closes as Hyperliquid grows HIP-3 revenues - permissionless perp markets on gold, silver, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 that already account for ~10% of total protocol revenue in just four months. While most of crypto is still trying to justify inflated FDVs with no revenue, Hyperliquid is buying back nearly $1B of its own token with real trading fees. @TOP7ICO

Hyperliquid launches Prediction Markets on Testnet After dominating perp DEX volumes with HIP-3, the team has now launched prediction markets on testnet - permissionless, onchain, and built on the same matching engine that already handles billions in daily volume. First test markets include: • "Who will win the HL 100 meter dash?" • "BTC above 69070 on Mar 11 at 5:00 AM?" • "What will Hypurr eat the most of in Feb 2026?" • "HYPE above 200.05 on Mar 10 at 5:30 PM?" Recently, Hyperliquid $HYPE announced HIP-4 and new fully collateralized outcome contracts that would enable prediction markets and options-style derivatives with fixed price ranges, dated markets and non-linear payoffs, without margin trading or liquidations. 🔗app.hyperliquid-testnet.xyz @TOP7ICO

Polymarket partners with Palantir to build AI-powered Sports Betting Integrity Platform Polymarket has partnered with Palantir and TWG AI to build a next-generation sports integrity platform powered by the Vergence AI engine. The system will monitor trades in real time, screen banned users, detect insider activity and market manipulation, and enable compliance reporting - all before a bet goes wrong. The move comes as the two leading predictions markets by trading volume, Polymarket and Kalshi, continue to expand the world of sports betting, despite some gaming authority and state-level pushback, and as incumbents. 🔗theblock.co/post/393009/polymarket-peter-thiel-palantir-develop-sports-betting-ai-monitoring-tool @TOP7ICO

Meta acquired social network for AI agents - Moltbook Meta has acquired Moltbook, a viral social network built specifically for AI agents. The deal brings founders Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr into Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) - the unit run by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang - with both starting on March 16. Moltbook was launched in late January as an experimental "third space" for AI agents, where they can verify their identity, connect, and coordinate complex tasks on behalf of their human owners. The platform was built largely with the help of Schlicht's personal AI assistant. Last month, Open AI hired Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw, a companion project to Moltbook and is now open-sourcing it with OpenAI's backing. 🔗axios.com/2026/03/10/meta-facebook-moltbook-agent-social-network @TOP7ICO

85% of tokens launched in 2025 are trading below their TGE price Out of 118 tracked token launches in 2025, 100 are now in the red. The median token is down 71% in FDV from its opening price. This wasn't bad luck - it was structural. Here's why: 🔘 Valuations were built on narrative, not revenue. All 28 tokens that launched at $1B+ FDV are underwater - median drawdown of 81%. Falcon Finance launched at $6.7B FDV and lost 86%. Plasma launched at $12.9B and crashed 90%. 🔘TGE became an exit event, not an entry. Up to 80% of airdrop recipients sold on day one. Add insider unlocks on top, and retail was absorbing professional sell pressure from minute one. 🔘Early drawdowns almost never recovered. Only 9.4% of tokens that dropped in weekone ever recovered to their launch price. 🔘The bigger the launch, the worse the outcome. The only bucket with a meaningful survival rate (40% green) was the lowest FDV quartile. 🔘 Infrastructure and AI tokens led the carnage. 60% of all 2025 launches - average decline of 72–82%. Berachain: -93%. Animecoin: -93.6%. Syndicate: -93.6%. The numbers are clear: the TGE playbook is broken. Projects raised billions in private rounds, listed at multibillion-dollar FDVs with no real user base, and retail stepped in as exit liquidity - not as early adopters. 🔗x.com/DWFVentures/status/2021569946522960183 @TOP7ICO

Arthur Hayes' New Essay – HYPE Man In his latest essay "$HYPE Man," Arthur Hayes makes the case for why Hyperliquid is the highest-quality project in all of crypto right now - and why $HYPE can 5x by August 2026, even in a weak market. Why Now? • In sideways/bear markets, exchange tokens outperform - they earn fees regardless of price direction • Hyperliquid is the largest revenue-generating crypto project (excluding stablecoins) • 97% of all revenue goes to $HYPE buybacks - no other project returns this much to token holders Bull Case for $HYPE • Current price ~$30, Hayes' target - $150 by August 2026 (5x) • Trading at ~12x P/E - cheap vs. CME (26x), Robinhood and Coinbase (up to 40x) • Only +4% market share shift from CEXs needed to double annualized revenue • HIP-3 (permissionless listings) already drives ~10% of revenue - gold, silver, Nasdaq, S&P 500 perps trading 24/7 Why Competition Isn't a Threat • Lowest ADV/OI ratio among top 5 perp DEXs = most organic, real volume • Deepest order book: cheapest execution on $100k, $1m, and $10m trade sizes • Competitors inflate volumes through liquidity farming - Hyperliquid doesn't need to Risks & Stress Test • Even in a bear case (max team token dumping + 12x multiple) - target still $58 (+75% from current) • Team dramatically cut token distributions: from ~20% in Nov/Dec to ~1% in Jan/Feb Hayes' Portfolio Move • $HYPE is now Maelstrom's largest liquid shitcoin position • Accumulated in the mid-$20s, continuing to add • Selling "all other inferior projects" to own more $HYPE 🔗cryptohayes.substack.com/p/hype-man @TOP7ICO
