Hyperstition #32 — June 16, 2025
NEWS-gated Alpha Groups to debut, Israel-Iran war meta explodes, and more
Hyperstition to launch token-gated Alpha Groups for NEWS holders
Hyperstition is preparing to launch a new gated community for NEWS tokenholders, offering private access to curated market insights, early-stage token ideas, and trading analysis—an initiative it calls “Alpha Groups.”
Alpha Groups mark the next major utility rollout for the NEWS token, following Hyperstition’s launch of on-chain voting and the formation of the NEWS Network, a coalition of crypto-native creators and advertisers.
Access will require staking or burning NEWS tokens, with the groups designed to deliver real-time trading insights and direct engagement with experienced traders and KOLs.
Full details on access tiers, contributor lineup, and the launch timeline are expected later this week.
Additional initiatives — including creator incentives, advertiser leaderboards, and planned integrations with third-party platforms such as Opinions.fun — are currently in development.

Israel–Iran conflict fuels new Solana memecoin meta
Escalating conflict between Israel and Iran has triggered a new thematic meta in Solana’s memecoin ecosystem.
Since Friday’s Israeli airstrikes and subsequent Iranian counterstrikes, hundreds of war-related tokens have launched on platforms such as Pump.fun.
Top-performing tokens included macro-themed plays such as Global Money Supply (M2), which surpassed a $3 million market capitalization on Friday.
Meanwhile, Just a peace guy (PEACEGUY) surged to highs of almost $4 million within 24 hours of launching on June 13.
As of June 16, the coin trades at a market cap of roughly $450,000, according to data from DexScreener.
Directly thematic coins like wardog (wardog) and USELESS WAR COIN (WARCOIN) also posted strong early gains, though they subsequently experienced steep retracements.
The conflict also revived interest in dormant tokens.
Digital Oil Memecoin (Oil), a Solana coin launched in early 2025, surged past $1 million in market cap after trading sideways at roughly $50,000 for months, buoyed by renewed relevance tied to energy markets and war-related macro narratives.
Similarly, Iran Vs Israel (WAR), which launched more than a year ago, surged to more than $200,000 on June 13 after trading at less than $10,000 for months.
