A biotechnology company is quietly becoming a new bridge from the encryption world to the traditional Capital Market. Sonnet BioTherapeutics (NASDAQ: SONN) has just accomplished a significant milestone - shareholders voted in favor of a business merger plan with Hyperliquid Strategies Inc (HSI) and Rorschach I LLC.
This matter has actually been in preparation for a long time. Relevant materials have previously been submitted through Form S-4, and according to the plan, after the merger is completed, HSI will be able to directly list on NASDAQ. Now we are just waiting for the final step: submitting the voting results of the shareholders' meeting to the SEC for filing using Form 8-K.
In simple terms, this is a typical reverse acquisition path. The shell of a traditional listed company is filled with Web3 business, which not only bypasses the lengthy approval process of a direct IPO but also quickly secures financing channels and brand endorsement in the public market. Hyperliquid's move can be seen as finding a shortcut to enter the mainstream spotlight.

The reverse acquisition trap, when put nicely, it's a shortcut, but to put it harshly... how should I say it, anyway, I've seen a lot of shell company issues.

Reverse acquisition is really becoming more and more popular, but it feels a bit strange for a biotech company to do a shell? Is Hyperliquid trying to go public through this or is it really looking to do traditional financing?

Ha, the reverse acquisition trap is just a trick that Web3 loves to play. Anyway, you can bypass the SEC, but you can't escape in the end; you'll still end up revealing the truth.
