These movements occur alongside new developments in decentralized finance. Robot maker Unitree's initial public offering surged 600%. This rise outpaced premarket bets by crypto traders. A Hyperliquid perp priced Unitree far above its IPO valuation before Shanghai trading began. The robot maker's first public trade still opened approximately 75% above crypto traders' implied price. DeFi protocol Everything.inc launched its unified pre-market liquidity pool. This launch on Arbitrum for EV/USDT marks a first in decentralized finance. It also represents the first implementation of the team's "unified" DeFi architecture. The U.S. debt recently crossed the $40 trillion threshold.
