@ibuyrugs Solid write-up. You're using a TradFi lens.
It's not an exchange. It's financial infrastructure.
It has network effects: liquidity, execution quality, and ecosystem density compounding into dominance.
Why compete when you can get a slice?
This is the future finance model.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE POSTING SCREENSHOTS ON X SHOWING THEY CLOSED THEIR BINANCE ACCOUNT
BINANCE HAD TO HAULT WITHDRAWALS DUE TO THE OUTFLOW
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THE FTX COLLAPSE STARTED
GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF BINANCE!!!!!!
HyperCore will support outcome trading (HIP-4). Outcomes are fully collateralized contracts that settle within a fixed range. They are a general-purpose primitive that are useful for applications such as prediction markets and bounded options-like instruments. There has been extensive user demand in both of these areas, and builders will likely think of novel applications as well.
Outcomes bring non-linearity, dated contracts, and an alternative form of derivative trading that does not involve leverage or liquidations. The outcome primitive expands the expressivity of HyperCore, while composing with other primitives such as portfolio margin and the HyperEVM.
Outcomes are a work in progress and currently only being tested on testnet. Canonical markets based on objective settlement sources will be deployed once technical development is complete. Canonical markets will be denominated in USDH. Pending user feedback, the infrastructure will be extended to permissionless deployment.
Jeff will win because he has honor unlike most of the other entities in this space who have mass extracted due to lack of regulatory oversight and monopolies.

People need to realize that Binance is just a proxy for @cz_binance
CZ owns 90% of Binance
When CZ makes statements like "I don't buy and sell" or "buy and hold" this is the exact opposite of what he (Binance) is actually doing
For the past 8 years Binance (CZ) has been extorting ~10% of the supply of every project via "listing fees"
What do you think happens to those listing fees?
Do you think Binance (CZ) and its cabal of market makers still hold all those tokens?
Of course not
Since they have the insider information that they will list it, they acquire a bunch of a token, pump it with a listing announcement, then dump on our faces
They have run this on repeat for almost a decade
They literally trade against their own users
They can see all of the positions of their users then they use that information to exploit them and wipe out their balances
It is all methodical and intentional and has made CZ the 23rd richest person alive
The cherry on top is that CZ presents himself as an unaware, naive founder who is just trying to figure out what is going on
But in reality he knows exactly what is going on because he is the one who did it!
Hyper Liquid taking off and turning it around for crypto would be a huge net positive for the space. It's innovative, it makes a ton of money, the token is aligned with holders, & Binance has zero involvement with it. I'm rooting for @HyperliquidX and you should be too.
@HYPEconomist@WatcherGuru There’s already a big push to boost competitiveness after the Trump shock. Look I pay plenty of tax, but it buys stability, infrastructure, healthcare, and decent lives for all. Welfare isn’t the problem either, good design de-risks, keeps people healthy, and boosts productivity.
@HYPEconomist@WatcherGuru Hi champ! Pressure is a good thing. Yes energy is expensive, but that’s exactly what forces innovation. Here in NL: little space, nitrogen caps, no all season climate, high labour costs, small home market. Yet #2 in ag exports after the US. You only become stronger.
Hyperliquid has quietly achieved an important milestone of becoming the most liquid venue for crypto price discovery in the world. See below for side by side comparison of BTC perps on Binance (left) and Hyperliquid (right).
With HIP-3 teams leading the way, Hyperliquid has also grown to become the most liquid venue for perps on tradfi assets. Thank you to everyone's hard work as we upgrade the financial system and house all of finance.
Hyperliquid today looks very different from Hyperliquid a year ago. This time last year, the HyperEVM hadn’t even launched, and there were only a handful of early believers building exclusively on Hyperliquid. Now, there are hundreds of teams building, dozens of regional communities with local events, and trillions more in volume traded.
This was achieved without any external funding and giving all protocol fees to the community. Hyperliquid was built with a strong belief in returning to the core ethos of crypto - changing entrenched and predatory practices to be fair and permissionless.
This art piece is meant to celebrate Hyperliquid’s growing ecosystem and commemorate how far we’ve come as a community in building the house of all finance. You’ll find many of your favorite apps and teams interwoven in the piece if you zoom in. A special thank you to @Degen_Alfie for bringing the community to life. Many great teams didn’t make it due to limited space and time, but your contributions have not gone unnoticed!
