Gate Research: Ripple Prime Enables On-Chain Derivatives Trading for the First Time｜Bitnomial Launches Its First Regulated Futures Product

Gate Research Weekly Report: BTC broke below $73,000 as deleveraging continued, pushing total liquidations to $2.56 billion; ETH retreated to the $2,000 support level, with weakening institutional demand, a modest contraction in stablecoin supply, and persistently low gas fees. Despite the broader market weakness, select meme, DePIN, and cross-chain tokens moved counter-trend. The official World Mobile Chain account released a statement, and WMTX rose 15.79% within 24 hours. Ripple Prime integrated Hyperliquid, introducing a prime brokerage model to on-chain derivatives, while Bitnomial launched regulated XTZ futures. On-chain indicators have again flashed a potential cyclical bottom signal, suggesting BTC could gravitate toward the $60,000 range; meanwhile, Vitalik Buterin revisited the L2 roadmap, and Tether continued to post solid operating performance despite valuation concerns. Markets will next focus on upcoming token unlock risks for HYPE, BERA, and ENA.
