ICE's Jeff Sprecher (founder of @NYSE) on Hyperliquid 'It's bigger than NASDAQ. It's 11 people. You look at it, you're like, wow, that's pretty something.'" On the founders: "The people that have built that exchange are extremely smart... I salute these guys for doing it. I mean, these are some very, very smart people." On ignoring it: "I don't think you can ignore it." On the competitive threat: "It's attracted a lot of market makers and other market participants, early adopter market participants that would ordinarily be in our traditional markets are there exploring this technology." On the weekend oil trading dynamic: "They've been trading oil on the weekends when our traditional oil markets are closed. And it just so happens in this time of conflict in the Middle East, there have been a lot of activity that happens on the weekend. So it's gotten a lot of interest." On institutional clients watching regardless: "While most of our institutional clients are not trading on blockchain... they're all watching it, and they're watching the price discovery. Whether they admit it or not, it is being part of the zeitgeist." On the SpaceX listing being a watershed moment: "I think regulators and market participants are going to say either it was irrelevant or it was highly relevant." On retail + 24/7 markets: "We're just going to have to get used to the interplay of retail and professional trading 24/7, 365." Full transcript here: seekingalpha.com/article/490935… Hyperliquid

$HYPE showing first signs of exhaustion.

Citron is Short $SNDK — They Don't Ring a Bell at the Top We don't need Anthropic to announce they're making NAND. Samsung is already the 800-pound gorilla, and they've been running this playbook for 30 years. While TV pundits pound the table herding retail into cattle cars, Western Digital, the long time investor, sold a significant portion of its holdings days ago, 25% lower. Ask yourself why. Because they know the cycle is approaching a peak, and they're not waiting for the bell. The market is pricing SanDisk like it's $NVDA. There's one problem: NVIDIA has a moat. SanDisk sells a commodity. We've seen this movie before 2008, 2012, 2018. It's never different this time. Memory is a cycle, and cycles peak. Samsung has a 30-year history of choosing market share over margins. They wait for pure-plays like SanDisk to get comfortable at 50% gross margins, then flip the switch. But this time it's worse. Every $SNDK bull should read attached article Samsung just told the world they won't sell anything under 50% margins and they're moving their best chips into the same premium SSD market SanDisk calls home. They're not just the capacity gorilla anymore. They're going after SanDisk's best customers with cheaper, newer technology. And the only thing keeping supply tight right now? Samsung's temporary yield problems in another product line. That bottleneck has an expiration date. With double the capacity of the 2018 peak waiting in the wings, this "shortage" is a supply mirage that can vanish in a single earnings call. Hockey shout-out: Shorting $SNDK is skating to where the puck is going. By the time the cycle normalizes, this stock will already be much lower. technetbooks.com/2026/02/samsun…
