Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at where technology and the world intersect.
In the crypto space, a platform called Hypercall, built on the Hyperliquid exchange, has generated six hundred forty million dollars in trading volume since June, and here is the surprising part: most of that activity is coming not from crypto assets, but from options on the S and P five hundred.
