A non-exhaustive list of reasons why you shouldn't be shaken out of $HYPE (and maybe consider bidding moar):
- Over the past 7 days, the number of $HYPE holders has grown by +12k
- The Assistance Fund is purchasing over $1 million worth of $HYPE daily on average
- HLP is generating unprecedented REAL YIELD, with a current +50% APR
- The HL team has announced the initial list of non-team validators set to operate on the mainnet, meaning that HyperEVM is just around the corner
- A new staking page has launched on the testnet, indicating that staking will be live soon
Keep the faith,
Hyperliquid
Excited to see everyone come together for this historic moment. AQAv2 brings the protocol-aligned stablecoin model that @Nativemarkets trail-blazed to USDC with @Coinbase and @Circle's commitment to Hyperliquid. The community no longer has to choose between liquidity and alignment.
Our industry will face adversity as we continue to grow. It gives me hope seeing titans of the industry come together to build for users and bring all of finance onchain.
Shawn Liu is the Bitget big boss who allows these scams to operate behind the scenes while Gracy Chen is only the face of it.
The Chinese CEX cartel has gone unchallenged for years and doesn’t care as long as they benefit from the activity.
I think it is almost time to increase public attacks against Bitget.

This is the story of Hyperliquid, the most profitable startup per employee on earth, told from a guarded office in Singapore.
Last year, its team of 11 generated $900 million in profit. It's 3 years old, has never taken a dollar of venture capital, and is beginning to change how century-old markets work.
Its founder, Jeffrey Yan (@chameleon_jeff), had never taken a physics class when he picked up a textbook at 16. Two years later, he won gold at the International Physics Olympiad. In 2019, he started trading with $10,000 from a living room in Puerto Rico—working off a television because he didn't own a monitor.
Within 3 years, he was running one of the largest anonymous crypto trading firms.
Then he shut it down. Yan was rich and free, but he had spent years inside crypto, watching it betray itself. Bitcoin's central premise was decentralization. Yet the biggest exchanges were centralized. Crypto kept reintroducing the dependence on trust it was built to eliminate. He set out to create what should have existed.
Hyperliquid is a blockchain with a trading exchange on top, and anyone can build on it. Yan's vision is to house all of finance. In 3 years, it has done over $4 trillion in volume. And in the past few months, it has begun to outgrow crypto.
Markets for oil, silver, and the S&P 500 now trade on Hyperliquid around the clock, weekends included, and are growing roughly 40% week on week. When the US and Israel bombed Iran on a Saturday in February, Hyperliquid was the venue traders turned to.
Hyperliquid's success has cost Yan his freedom. He works out of a secret office in Singapore and cannot travel without two bodyguards. Even the team's housekeeper doesn't know what they do.
In January, @domcooke spent a week at their office. Read his profile on Yan and @HyperliquidX below.
We spend more time debating philosophical design choices than building products people actually want.
The lesson from the last 5 years is simple: we funded 100 L1s and L2s that were research projects disguised as products. Nobody uses them.
We need to fund ambitious, diverse projects and recognize when something is working.
Nobody cares if Hyperliquid is slightly more or less decentralized than Solana. They care that it works.
Paragon markets are now live on @HyperliquidX: $BTC.D, $TOTAL2, and $OTHERS.
Be the first to trade index perpetuals, with the same order types and interface you already use.

@ostium Finally, Ostium is marketing its product without mentioning or attacking Hyperliquid. Even if competing with TradeXYZ will be tough, that’s a good start.
