Predictions: LFGooooooooooooal, World Cup closers

England vs Argentina

Resolving July 15

The last time England knocked Argentina out of a World Cup the year was 1966. England's first and only World Cup trophy win. Since then, Argentinian triumph and English football trauma. Maradona's Hand of God in '86, Beckham's red card in '98, and now these two again in ‘26. Kane and Bellingham's England feel different. On July 15, they face Messi and a shaky Argentina. Traders are split, just like the history books.

(Remember: match-specific markets like this resolve after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties aren't included.)

Tokenized stocks: AI factories, ETF rails, and a new chip giant come to a US exchange

NVDAon

(Tokenized Nvidia)

Nvidia frames Blackwell and Vera Rubin as part of a revenue opportunity worth at least $1 trillion. For NVDAon, any pre-earnings guidance updates in the coming days could trigger sharp moves. The price of NVDA actually fell about 12.5% in the 6 weeks after its last earnings print, but the company’s optimism certainly has not.

BLKon

(Tokenized BlackRock)

BlackRock rallied after its Q2 earnings report on July 15, with EPS of $13.91, and assets under management surpassing $15T for the first time. In the first two weeks of Q3, its tokenized Treasury fund BUIDL has grown by over 20% to roughly $2.86B. BLKon is the RWA proxy for institutional adoption: ETFs, private markets, technology, and tokenization-adjacent infrastructure under one roof.

SKHYon

(Tokenized SK Hynix-NASDAQ)

South Korean memory chip giant SK Hynix generated major volume over the past week, driven by the debut of SKHY on the NASDAQ on Friday, July 10. The largest-ever US IPO by a foreign firm priced at $149, opened at $170, and closed at $168.01, up 12.8% on day one after raising $26.5B.

TRADE RWAs

Perps: Watch SOL, check the HYPE, don’t forget the BTC

BTC-USDC: This pair is a top macro barometer. Wednesday, July 15 brings another catalyst with the latest Fed Beige Book release ahead of the next FOMC meeting on July 28-29. BTC-USDC stays at the center of the inflation, rates, and liquidity repricing cycle.
HYPE-USDC: Hyperliquid processed about $633 billion of trading volume in Q1 2026 and held roughly 32% of onchain perpetual futures volume. A number of sources have recently seen HYPE overtake ETH in terms of overall open interest.
SOL-USDC: In June, Solana’s RWA value crossed $3 billion, cumulative tokenized-stock volume passed $10 billion, and daily tokenized-stock volume hit a record $683 million. SOL remains one of the clearest second-order risk-on expressions in crypto.
