Today’s top performer is IP, up 20.2% after Heritage Distilling became the first public company to anchor its reserves in the token, tapping into the AI-driven IP economy.
Story Protocol (IP), founded in 2022, is a Layer 1 blockchain for IP, embedding royalties and attribution on-chain to protect creators and ensure fair compensation, especially in the AI era. Heritage Distilling (Nasdaq: CASK) has adopted an $IP token treasury strategy, becoming the first public company to anchor reserves in a digital asset powering the $80T intellectual property economy. This move aligns with the growing demand for rights-cleared, programmable data in AI, as Story’s $IP token enables automated licensing and monetization of IP assets. Supported by leaders from Google, CoinMarketCap, and a16z-backed ventures, the company offers regulated, equity-based exposure to the programmable IP sector without requiring direct crypto involvement. A public dashboard will provide real-time $IP treasury metrics for investors.
Ethena Labs has proposed issuing Hyperliquid’s native stablecoin, USDH, backed by its USDtb token, which is fully collateralized by BlackRock’s tokenized BUIDL fund.

The proposal also includes institutional integrations from Anchorage and Securitize at no cost, further signaling Hyperliquid’s growing appeal to major players in crypto and finance.

If you’re holding idle SOL or BTC, you can potentially farm two airdrops at once by using Unit to bridge your assets into Hyperliquid, where you can trade UBTC, USOL, or UETH. Hyperliquid is speculated to run a second airdrop, and Unit—already handling billions in volume—might launch a token too. There are no points, referrals, or buzz yet, making this a quiet but promising strategy. Nothing is confirmed, so it’s best suited for those looking to park assets with speculative upside.
