If you’ve been sidelined from
$HYPE, imo now is a GREAT time to start building a position.
Coinbase and Robinhood launching compliant futures is probably the biggest near term risk to Hyperliquid’s market share, and partly explains recent underperformance. But it also presents a compelling entry point.
Hyperliquid is already printing more cash than most crypto projects. Daily perp volume often exceeds $10B, generating ~$3m/day in fees (0.03% maker/taker blend).
Q1 revenue hit $136m; Q2 came in at $167m according to defillama. 97% of that gets autoburned via
$HYPE buybacks, driving a $600~900m annual burn rate. The current fee base alone aggressively shrinks supply.
And that engine is about to scale harder:
1. Builder codes turn liquidity into a platform business
Any wallet or bot can plug into Hyperliquid’s orderbook with a builder address and collect up to 0.1% in fees. Nearly 200 builders are already live, with +$25m paid out ($12m builder code fees + $13m referral fees) without impacting protocol revenue. It’s a free distribution engine. More integrations → more volume → bigger buybacks.

2. HIP‑3 kicks off markets-as-a-service
Stake 1m
$HYPE, win an auction slot, and list any perp you want while keeping up to 50% of trading fees. Each new market locks
$HYPE, decentralizes listings, and expands protocol revenue. HIP-3 auctions start soon. Uptake may start slow as builders weigh costs and demand, but over time this becomes a key revenue expansion lever.

3. CoreWriter unlocks defi on HyperEVM
HyperEVM went live in Feb 2025 with read only access. CoreWriter (launched July 5) now enables write access. Now smart contracts can stake, trade, and interact directly with HyperCore. This unlocks vaults, lenders, and bots to plug into Hyperliquid’s liquidity. Every smart contract burns
$HYPE gas. HyperCore is gas free, but HyperEVM activity is not. So the more defi builds, the stronger the burn.

The beauty of this architecture is that it’s built to scale. Unlike cexs, Hyperliquid isn’t limited by UI or a single exchange.
- HIP‑3 turns it into a listing factory.
- Builder codes give it free distribution.
- CoreWriter makes it programmable from any EVM app.
This is not about competing with Binance on a few markets. It’s about becoming the backend liquidity layer for wallets, brokers, and new protocols.
Meanwhile, Web2 firms like Hyperion and SONN have already allocated hundreds of millions to
$HYPE, signaling serious institutional interest.
The time to buy
$HYPE has never been better.
