London, March 26th – Ultra , the one-stop destination for gamers, publishers, and developers, has appointed Maxime van Steenberghe as its new COO, marking the next milestone in the company’s aggressive expansion plans. Maxime’s appointment underscores Ultra’s commitment to building a powerhouse leadership team to execute its bold vision for the future of gaming. The gaming industry is at a crossroads – its significant market size and growing global audience, much like the film and music industries before it, demand new models of distribution and engagement. A key opportunity has presented itself for Europe to strengthen its grip on the industry. At such times, it is imperative for champions to pave the way forward, and Ultra is leading the charge. Effective 24th March 2025, Maxime will spearhead the implementation of the company’s recently unveiled 2025 vision , centered on building Ultra as the go-to gaming platform in Europe and beyond, and underpinned by the following pillars: Commenting on the appointment, Gus van Rijckevorsel, CEO at Ultra, says: Ultra has spent years focusing on R&D to perfect its gaming technology. Under new leadership, we’re now taking over to harness this tech stack best. There is enormous untapped potential, but the European gaming industry has long been stuck in outdated models and without the actors to drive change. The market is ripe for a massive shake-up, and Ultra is leading the charge on that. I’m assembling an elite team to seize this opportunity head-on and create value for gamers, publishers, and developers alike. Maxime is the first of many and with his proven consulting expertise, I’m confident that we can once again place Europe at the nexus of gaming, tech, and Web3. Maxime van Steenberghe, COO at Ultra, adds: I’m thrilled to be working with Gus again. In my past roles, I have seen first-hand how, as a serial entrepreneur, he transforms vision into reality. What Netflix did for the film industry, Ultra will do for gaming. We’re building a platform that will redefine how games are played, shared, and monetized, and I’m excited to drive our bold next chapter with a hand-picked team who are all aligned on the future of gaming. For so long, gamers, publishers, and developers have had to contend with the status quo, but we’re here to change the game. Maxime joins Ultra from Circle Strategy, a strategy consulting firm founded by Gus. He brings with him a strong background in consulting, having previously held roles at McKinsey & Company and Accenture. Maxime is also a seasoned entrepreneur and founded two companies – an award-winning ESG service provider Creo² as well as retail brand Flemar, which registered an average annual growth rate of over 100%. Maxime’s appointment is the latest in a series of Ultra’s recent strategic leadership hires, following the addition of Adrien Moser as its Head of Mergers and Acquisitions in January.

Hyperliquid’s handling of the JELLY token incident has drawn sharp criticism from Gracy Chen, the chief executive officer of Bitget. After Hyperliquid ( HYPE ) removed JELLY amid an estimated $10.6 million loss and a looming liquidation threat to its treasury, Chen labeled the decentralized exchange’s actions as “immature, unethical, and unprofessional.” Hyperliquid delisted the token with a promise to compensate impacted users. However, Chen argued that the losses and how the situation was handled raise questions about the exchange’s integrity. She criticized the team for operating the DEX “like an offshore centralized exchange with no know-your-customer or anti-money-laundering checks.” The Bitget chief executive pointed this out in a post on X , noting: “Despite presenting itself as an innovative decentralized exchange with a bold vision, Hyperliquid operates more like an offshore CEX with no KYC/AML, enabling illicit flows and bad actors.” As such, Chen opined that Hyperliquid’s behavior may point towards an “FTX 2.0”, a reference of the collapsed crypto exchange FTX, which imploded in 2022 with millions of users impacted. Arthus Hayes, the founder and former CEO of derivatives exchange BitMEX, also shared similar take via X. $HYPE can’t handle the $JELLY Let’s stop pretending hyperliquid is decentralised And then stop pretending traders actually give a fuck Bet you $HYPE is back where is started in short order cause degens gonna degen Hyperliquid halted the jellyjelly market after a $5 million short bet by a trader got liquidated, throwing the platform into controversy amid a seemingly coordinated pump scheme. The sharp surge in JELLY price, a staggering 230% within an hour, left the Hyperliquid liquidity pool with a $10.6 million loss. A further spike would have exploded this to over $240 million. Hyperliquid’s validator set chose to delist the token before this, citing “suspicious market activity.” Chen commented: “The decision to close the $JELLY market and force settlement of positions at a favorable price sets a dangerous precedent. Trust—not capital—is the foundation of any exchange (CEX and DEX alike), and once lost, it’s almost impossible to recover.” More than criticizing the delisting, Chen went on to point out what she called “alarming flaws” in the DEX’ design. Among these are systemic risk to users as a result of mixed vaults, and unrestricted position sizes, which she said has opened it up to manipulation. “Unless these issues are addressed,” she noted, “more altcoins may be weaponized against Hyperliquid—putting it at risk of becoming the next catastrophic failure in crypto.” Earlier this month, blockchain sleuth ZachXBT disclosed that a Hyperliquid whale who made huge high-leverage short bets on the DEX was indeed a cybercriminal who was using stolen funds. The HYPE token plunged double digits in the aftermath of the incident.

Michael Saylor is not just predicting the future of bitcoin – he is methodically building it. The Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy envisions a Bitcoin ecosystem valued at $200 trillion by 2045. His strategy combines aggressive accumulation, innovative financial engineering, and geopolitical vision. Saylor is not betting on organic adoption, but on a controlled shock. According to him, the United States needs to create a strategic reserve of bitcoin, capturing 5 to 25% of the total supply by 2035. A calculated maneuver: by making BTC a sovereign asset, Washington would force allies — and then adversaries — to adopt it. “It’s a fait accompli,” he asserts. The Trump administration, converted to the cause, is already considering using federal reserves or gold certificates to buy in bulk. Once institutionalized, bitcoin spreads like a financial pathogen. The 400,000 BTC initially held by the United States — half of which was sold too early — could be worth $17 billion today. Now, the priority is not to sell anymore. “The Pandora’s box is open,” Saylor emphasizes . Banks, sovereign funds, wealthy families: each player becomes a contagion vector, integrating BTC into their reserves through mimicry or necessity. But this domination comes at a price. By anchoring bitcoin at the heart of the system, the United States exposes itself to a dilemma: to control without suffocating. The SEC, previously hostile, now has to deal with a decentralized asset. For Saylor, the equation is simple: “Bitcoin has reached a liberation speed. No one can stop it anymore, not even its creators.” Renamed Strategy , the former software company has mutated into a high-tech hedge fund. With 500,000 BTC acquired through $33 billion raised in the markets, the firm has perfected the art of fundraising: convertible bonds, preferred stock, structured products. Each instrument fuels a virtuous circle: the higher the BTC price rises, the higher Strategy’s valuation climbs, allowing for more fundraising… to buy even more bitcoin. But this mechanism rests on a risky hypothesis: the perpetual rise of BTC. The deadlines of bonds — like the repayment of $1.8 billion in 2027 — could implode the structure in the event of a crash. Saylor sidesteps: “We will never sell.” His balance sheet, designed to withstand a 99% drop, bets on Wall Street’s insatiable appetite for bitcoin risk. Beyond finance, Saylor cultivates a personal mythology. Upon his death, he plans to burn his private keys, thus erasing billions of dollars from the market. A nihilistic gesture? Rather, an offering to decentralization: “It would make every BTC holder richer, forever.” An economic immortality, where his legacy merges with the survival of the Bitcoin protocol. Michael Saylor is no longer just playing the entrepreneur. He orchestrates a financial religion, where bitcoin is both the god and the temple.
