LHV Pank - MiCA crypto in an Estonian bank

AS LHV Pank, Estonia's largest local bank, obtained a MiCA CASP licence from Finantsinspektsioon in May 2026. Customers can buy, sell and hold 15+ cryptocurrencies directly in the LHV internet bank and mobile app, with a flat 0.5% fee and free custody. Trading and cold storage are handled by the licensed Bitstamp and BitGo. In this friendly review we look at what this is, why it matters to the Estonian market, how it compares with Bitvavo and Robinhood Europe, and why the lack of external wallet withdrawals can be a serious drawback.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) overtakes Solana, new ATH $75

Hyperliquid's native token HYPE reached a new all-time high of $75.40 on 2 June 2026 and overtook Solana (SOL) in price for the first time - SOL slid to ~$72, its lowest since late 2023. The rally came as the broader market suffered a sharp selloff and BTC fell below $67,000. HYPE is up ~24% over the month and ~142% year-to-date. The main reasons - a record 6.63% share of global perpetual futures volume in May, ~$181-188B in 30-day volume, ~$53M in network fees (annualised up to $1.3B), and the Assistance Fund buyback model that channels ~97% of protocol fees into automated HYPE purchases and burns. On 3 June Grayscale launched the Hyperliquid Staking ETF (HYPG). Solana, however, remains larger by market cap (~$41.6B vs ~$16.5B).

It is the official tax partner for MetaMask and Coinbase, with particularly strong DeFi support. In this friendly review we look at whether SUMM fits a Baltic or Nordic user, the pricing structure, which national tax forms it generates, and when Koinly or Divly may be the better pick.
