According to BlockBeats, on July 31, Eole, a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Growth Market, announced that it purchased 1,078,2547 HYPE tokens on July 28, worth approximately 10.08 million yen (approximately US$66,000), becoming the first listed company in Japan to publicly disclose its HYPE purchase. The company plans to increase its holdings in batches by the end of August, bringing its total HYPE investment to 100 million yen (approximately US$611,000).

Eole stated that HYPE, along with BTC, will be held as a strategic asset in its "Neo Crypto Bank," with the goal not merely to generate capital gains, but to support the development of on-chain finance and Web3 businesses. The company also plans to improve asset utilization efficiency through digital asset lending and hedging in traditional financial markets, and explore integrating related assets with its own services.

Meanwhile, Japanese listed company Quantum Solutions announced that it had sold 1,000 ETH, raising approximately $1.9 million, which will be used for AI infrastructure construction, including data center business.

According to BlockBeats, on July 31st, Hyperinsight monitoring showed that SKHX rebounded to $1165.5, a 24-hour increase of approximately 24.4%, with a trading volume of $1.514 billion. However, from 11 PM last night to 11 AM this morning, its open interest decreased from $622 million to $451 million, a reduction of approximately $172 million, or 27.6%; SKHX has once again experienced significant deleveraging.

Data on position changes over the past 24 hours shows that, based on a single address reducing its position by more than $1 million, a total of 40 large SKHX long positions were reduced, amounting to a total reduction of approximately $172 million in positions at the current price. Among them, 29 addresses have closed out all their existing long positions, and some addresses subsequently reversed their positions and went short.

During the same period, only 17 addresses with holdings in the millions of dollars increased their long positions, totaling approximately $55.354 million, resulting in a net reduction of approximately $116 million in long positions within the sample. Short sellers also exited on a large scale. In the past 24 hours, 40 addresses with holdings in the millions of dollars covered a total of approximately $148 million.

The largest reduction in holdings came from the previous largest long position in SKHX, 0xc8b. This morning, this address sold all 37,229.1 units of SKHX, equivalent to approximately $43.391 million at the current price. The average closing price was approximately $1,135.2, resulting in a profit of approximately $5.717 million. The SKHX position is now at zero.

Other large exits include: 0x2dac clearing approximately 14,667 long positions, equivalent to approximately US$17.094 million at the current price; 0x469e clearing 14,332.6 long positions, with a transaction value of approximately US$15.027 million; 0x4662 clearing 6,000 long positions, with a transaction value of approximately US$6.084 million; and 0x215b also closing out all existing long positions.

As long positions were closed out and profits were taken, and short positions were covered, funds did not withdraw from the storage sector, but were partially diverted to MU, SNDK and SKHY.

Among the million-dollar address sample, MU, SNDK, and SKHY recorded approximately $44.829 million, $63.18 million, and $44.79 million in new long positions, respectively. After deducting the reduction in positions during the same period, SNDK saw a net increase of approximately $10.501 million, and SKHY saw a net increase of approximately $26.357 million; MU, on the other hand, still saw a net decrease of approximately $29.006 million in long positions, with net inflows concentrated in SanDisk and SK Hynix ADR.

Looking at the hourly snapshots from last night to this morning, the open interest values of MU, SNDK, and SKHY increased by approximately 12.7%, 9.4%, and 12.9%, respectively, contrasting sharply with the significant decrease in SKHX open interest. SKHY rose 25.9% during the same period, slightly outperforming SKHX, and its ADR premium relative to SKHX further widened to approximately 35.0%.
