"We finally have real companies who have tokens, and they are interested in making those tokens valuable" Jason from Blockworks on why Hyperliquid would be Silicon Valley's hottest company right now "I would argue the catalyst here is one we've never had, which is the healthiest catalyst in the 15 years of crypto. It's such a simple idea, but it's the first time in history this has happened." "Hyperliquid just had back to back quarters of $150 million in revenue. That's $300 million in the first half of 2026, $600 million annualized. It's a 13 person company that's three years old." "If there was a 13 person company that was three years old doing $600 million in annualized revenue, I promise you it'd be the hottest company in all of Silicon Valley."

HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD YOU HAVE IF YOU INVESTED $10,000 IN TESLA AND SPACEX WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED? $TSLA: A $10,000 investment at IPO (2010) would be worth roughly $2.6–3 million today. SpaceX: A $10,000 investment in SpaceX at its earliest funding round (December 2002 Series A) at a hypothetical $2.3 trillion IPO valuation would be worth roughly $850 million to $1 billion+ today (post-IPO), assuming you held through dilution and the IPO. Together this would be worth $1.3 billion from a small $20,000 investment at the start.

🇸🇦🇺🇸 Saudi Arabia is telling Trump to back off the blockade before Iran shuts down the only route keeping Gulf oil flowing... Saudi Arabia is reportedly privately pressing Washington to drop the Hormuz blockade and return to negotiations. The reason is simple: if Iran retaliates by activating the Houthis to close Bab el-Mandeb, Saudi Arabia loses its last remaining export route. After the war closed Hormuz, Saudi Arabia pivoted its oil exports to Yanbu on the Red Sea, restoring output to its pre-war level of seven million barrels per day. Iran's foreign policy adviser publicly warned that Tehran views Bab el-Mandeb "just as it looks at Hormuz" and can disrupt it "with a single signal." Saudi energy officials told the WSJ they secured commitments from the Houthis not to attack Saudi ships through Bab el-Mandeb. But Riyadh warned Washington the situation is "fluid" and the Houthis could escalate if pushed further by Iran. The U.S. blockade is designed to choke Iran's revenue. But Iran can respond by choking Saudi Arabia's revenue through its Yemeni proxy. Both chokepoints closed simultaneously means the entire Gulf's oil output has no route to market. Global energy markets collapse. Source: WSJ

Canada just made its largest quantum investment in history. $195 million CAD, repayable, to Xanadu Quantum Technologies, to build a photonics manufacturing plant called Inception, named after the Christopher Nolan film. It’s going up in Etobicoke, in an old Campbell’s Soup factory. 🥫 158,000 square feet, 275 new jobs. Xanadu builds photonic quantum computers that run at room temperature, unlike most quantum systems that need extreme cold. It’s only half the funding Xanadu asked for. They’re still waiting on a matching $195 million from Ontario. A soup factory is about to start making quantum computer components instead.

Through this documentary, aired today by Channels Television, I discovered that the funding for constructing the National Mosque, Abuja, came directly from King Khalid and King Fahd of Saudi Arabia. This revelation was surprising, especially considering the significant financial contribution involved. In the 1980s, they donated a substantial sum of 100 million Riyals. It is fascinating to learn about such central moments in history and the substantial financial investments by the Saudis that made them possible.

🇾🇪 Yemen’s Armed Forces said they shot down a Saudi reconnaissance drone over the northern province of al-Jawf on Sunday, releasing footage the military media said showed the downing and wreckage. Spokesman Yahya Saree said forces downed a Turkish-made Bayraktar Akinci armed drone belonging to “the Saudi enemy” with “an appropriate weapon” as it carried out “hostile operations” in al-Jawf’s airspace. Saudi Arabia has not commented. The downing followed Ansar Allah’s most significant strike of the escalation: a Saturday missile and drone attack on Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Jizan and Yanbu, its first direct hit on Saudi oil infrastructure since 2022. Reuters verified footage showing smoke rising from the Jizan refinery, and NASA satellite monitoring detected a thermal anomaly at the site. Saudi Arabia has not confirmed the damage. Saree called the strikes retaliation for Saudi airstrikes on Hodeidah and Kamaran Island on Friday. Sanaa’s transport minister, Muhammad Qahim, said Saudi Arabia had bombed the port of Hodeidah “from the first day” of its intervention in Yemen, telling al-Masirah TV that Saudi forces send threatening messages to ships heading for the port. He said earlier Saudi strikes destroyed cranes and docks at Hodeidah, causing damage still difficult to repair. Hodeidah is the main entry point for food, fuel and aid reaching Yemen’s north. 🎥 Video: YAF

Nomagic secures $44M to expand AI-Powered robotic arms! 🇵🇱 Polish robotics startup Nomagic has raised $44 million in Series B funding to improve its AI-powered robotic arms and expand into North America. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) led the round, which included participation from Khosla Ventures, Almaz Capital, and the European Investment Bank (EIB). Unlike many robotics firms, Nomagic focuses on software. It uses computer vision and machine learning to train robotic arms to handle a variety of objects with greater efficiency and adaptability. The company relies on off-the-shelf hardware like the arms you can see in the video from ABB Robotics, making its solutions more flexible and scalable. Nomagic's annual recurring revenue has grown by 220% over the past year, and another 200% is expected in 2025. So cool to see a Polish company succeed in the robotics space!

Latest developments in Yemen: 1- Türkiye Today: Syria refuses Saudi Arabia's request to send Syrian fighters to Yemen Syrian sources who spoke to Türkiye Today said Saudi Arabia had in recent months sought fighters to meet its military needs in Yemen, but that the Syrian government had "politely" rejected a request to organize and deploy a Syrian force against the Houthis. "This issue has been exhausted and is over. The Saudi request was made several months ago. Syria politely turned it down, saying it was focused on its own military organization process and did not intend to enter a conflict as a third party," one of the sources said 2- Yemeni sources: Sanaa government (Houthis) shot down a drone in al-Qadisiyah neighborhood in Sanaa. (VIDEO) 3- The previously UAE-backed Giants Brigades fled al-Aghbara Mountains in al-Mudaraba District, Lahj, and Sanaa government (Houthi) forces took control of the area. (VIDEO 2: an audio recording from local residents) 4- Yemeni sources: Saudi airstrikes targeted the vicinity of Jawlat al-Qasr, east of Taiz. 5-Sanaa government (Houthis): “Criminal attempts in the capital Sanaa carried out by the Saudi enemy, bearing an ISIS nature, were thwarted and will not pass without a response.” 6- Bloomberg says, citing sources, that Saudi Aramco told at least two European refiners they will get no crude under term contracts in October, after the attack on the kingdom's East-West pipeline. The sources say the cut applies to all European buyers 7- FT: Pakistan’s Asim Munir has repeatedly asked Iran’s leaders to help stop Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia and the kingdom’s energy infrastructure

First country other than the United States of America to be able to form an alliance among a group of Countries in the last 70 to 100 years is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, led by men like you. Without the presence of men like you , with your professionalism, capability, and determination we would not be able to achieve anything.” Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman addressing his people in 2015. The Coalition established by Saudi Arabia was the first alliance in the world outside those created by the United States of America, such as ASEAN and NATO. These alliances continued to develop and expand until we reached a coalition that includes Saudi Arabia, Pakistan with its nuclear arsenal supported by Saudi funding, and Turkey with its economy backed by Saudi support. This alliance is expected to expand further to include other influential and important countries. It is an alliance under which any attack on one member is considered an attack on the alliance as a whole. Mohammed bin Salman has defeated all the campaigns that aimed to distort his image, whether from the Western left or the Masonic right. He is, without dispute, the man of the 21st century.

#WATCH | Mapusa, Goa: Former MoS MEA MJ Akbar says, "Just a day before, the Saudi prince, who is the effective ruler of Saudi Arabia, telephoned US President Trump to seek American armed help against the Houthi advance in Yemen...Riyadh and the Saudis must have been shocked when President Trump refused to enter this war...if Saudi Arabia has been threatened and in danger, then why did not the Saudi crown prince pick up the phone and call Ankara? Why did he not pick up the phone and call Islamabad? Because Turkey and Pakistan are the two nations which have just signed the Mecca pact with Saudi Arabia. And this was a pact which said one for all and all for one. An attack on one country shall be deemed to be an attack on all three...the Pakistan Army backed away. Pakistan Army, it seems to me, is very heroic in the cantonment, but turns into sheep on the battlefield. At the first challenge after the Mecca Pact, it simply slunk away back to its bunkers...Saudis need to take a very careful look at the Delhi Declaration of BRICS, where it is very comprehensively stated that war is not a solution and they must seek solutions through political, diplomatic dialogue that Prime Minister Modi has advocated in this declaration."

JUST IN: President Trump announces $600 BILLION investment from Apple into the U.S. over the next 4 years—the LARGEST Apple investment into the U.S. Wow. This is MASSIVE. President Trump just stood beside Apple CEO Tim Cook in the Oval Office and made one of the biggest economic announcements in years: “Apple is announcing that it will invest $600 billion, that’s with a B, in the United States over the next four years.” “That’s $100 billion more than they were originally going to invest. And this is the largest investment Apple has ever made in America.” “It’s just an honor to have you. As you know, Apple has been an investor in other countries—I won’t say which ones, but a couple… and they’re coming home.” “$600 billion. That’s the biggest there is.” This is a game-changing moment for U.S. manufacturing and jobs.

🚨🇸🇦🇾🇪 Air raid sirens woke Riyadh at 4 a.m. after a missile from Yemen reached the Saudi capital, hours after Saudi jets killed the commander of the Houthis' First Commando Brigade The alerts hit Riyadh, the city of Al Kharj to its south and the Farasan Islands off Jizan, and footage shows an interceptor firing over Saudi ground. Yemeni sources say the trigger was a Saudi strike on the Bab el-Mandeb front that reportedly killed General Farouk al-Sa'a and six of his guards. Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar reads last night as a probe. The Houthis fire one missile at a time, watch which radars light up and which batteries answer, and map the gaps the way Iran mapped Israel's. Their missiles reach 2,000 kilometers, which means every Saudi city is inside the circle. The uncomfortable detail for Washington: more than 200 American advisers are in Saudi Arabia right now, sleeping in hotels. When the next salvo is bigger, they either get interceptors or a flight home. Brandon Weichert

The Houthis fire one missile at a time, watch which radars light up and which batteries answer, and map the gaps the way Iran mapped Israel's. Their missiles reach 2,000 kilometers, which means every Saudi city is inside the circle.
