Yushu officially 42 billion yuan, Hyperliquid gives 30 billion USD. Nearly a 5x premium—it's not expectations, it's a hallucination.

On HYPE, the pre-IPO perpetuals are essentially about using liquidity to gain pricing power. Who’s trading? Gamblers. To judge what Yushu is truly worth, look at revenue and orders—not derivative K-line charts. With FCC’s one-line ban, foreign humanoid robots are directly blocked outside physical retail terminals, and Chinese manufacturers are hit first. This chain of end narratives has just shifted from software storytelling to hardware, and then the regulatory slap came.

For the crypto market, this is a cold signal: sentiment-driven positioning driven by AI themes will be continuously drained by policy frictions in the physical world. Don’t touch those pre-IPO contracts with thin order books and messy settlement. The crazier the premium, the harsher the liquidation. The hard lesson in real money is this—prices in the “primary plus” market are meant to set traps for the secondary market.

Competition in AI isn’t only about algorithms, but also about who can make things land in the real world. If your hands and feet are bound, the other side should run.
