  slip -ups. Speaking of slipping, there's serious

  chatter around all -star closer Aroldis Chapman.
• 5:19
  The 38 -year -old closer has drawn heavy interest
• 5:23
  on the trade market as Boston's front office
• 5:25
  faces a tough decision at the deadline. Chapman
• 5:30
  has been a bright spot this season with 28 straight
• 5:33
  saves, but if the losing continues, don't be
• 5:36
  surprised if the Sox pivot toward building for
• 5:38
  next year. The deadline is August 3rd. Meanwhile,

• 6:56
  but a new Wall Street crypto hype is on the rise.
• 7:00
  In a small corner of the crypto market, investors
• 7:03
  are rushing in instead of heading for the exits.
• 7:07
  So -called HYP exchange -traded funds are attracting
• 7:10
  new assets at a time when leading cryptocurrencies,
• 7:14
  including Bitcoin and Ether, are declining. Since
• 7:18
  their launch, these products have raised close
• 7:20
  to $150 million and have mostly experienced positive
• 7:25
  inflow days. This market is only 1 % penetrated
• 7:30
  into its potential, according to Matt Hogan,
• 7:33
  chief investment officer at Bitwise. Hyperliquid,
• 7:37
  a decentralized perpetual futures exchange, has
• 7:40
  quickly caught attention as a new asset class.
• 7:43
  Investors are drawn to its revenue model, where
• 7:46
  99 % of fees generated are used to buy back high
• 7:50
  key. As of Friday, the grayscale hyperliquid
• 7:54
  staking ETFs had $4 .5 million in assets. Experts
• 8:00
  believe that as awareness grows, these funds
• 8:02
  could accelerate mainstream adoption. However,
• 8:05
  competition remains high, and the platform is
• 8:08
  still unavailable in the United States. In crypto
• 8:12
  movement, Bitcoin is up 0 .5 % over the weekend
• 8:16
  to $63 ,000. Ethereum is down 3 % to just under
• 8:22
  $1 ,700. And XRP is up 1 % to $1 .15. Moving
• 8:30

• 8:45

• 9:15
  now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. NASA
• 9:20
  will wear high -tech Prada Longines to the moon.
• 9:24
  The liquid cooling and ventilation garment, known
• 9:27
  as LCVG, will be worn underneath the Axiom Extravicular
• 9:31
  Mobility Unit spacesuit during the Artemis IV
• 9:34
  mission in 2028. This space layer will provide
• 9:39
  cooling and comfort to astronauts circulating
• 9:42
  cold water through embedded tubes to whisk heat
• 9:45
  away from their bodies. Unlike older cooling
• 9:48
  suits, the LCVG features a backup system. Additionally,
• 9:53
  it houses a ventilation system that supplies
• 9:55
  fresh oxygen and directs exhaled carbon dioxide
• 9:58
  for recirculation. This collaboration continues
• 10:02
  NASA's tradition of blending high -tech materials
• 10:05
  with high -fashion design. And in entertainment
• 10:11
  news, John Lithgow is only getting better with
• 10:15
  age. With his latest Tony Awards win for actor
• 10:18
  in a play for Giant, Lithgow 80 became the oldest
• 10:22
  man ever to win a competitive acting Tony. The
• 10:26
  record was previously held by Roy Dotris at 77.
• 10:30
  Lithgow also opened the longest gap between competitive
• 10:33
  acting Tony wins in the awards history at 53
• 10:37
  years. His first came in 1973, surpassing Angela
• 10:42
  Lansbury's previous mark of 43 years. The victory
• 10:46
  puts Lithgow in a rare club of four performers.
• 10:50
  Lithgow expressed gratitude, stating, I'm such
• 10:53
  a lucky actor. Well, alrighty folks, it's time
• 10:58
  for the quote of the day. And today, our quote
• 11:02
  comes from the American novelist and short story
• 11:05
  writer S. Scott Fitzgerald. And he said, The
• 11:10
  test of a first -rate intelligence is the ability
• 11:12
  to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same
• 11:15
  time and still retain the ability to function.
• 11:20
