Top reasons to be bullish on Hyperliquid or at least consider learning about it more:
1. HYPE is one of the only investable assets in the whole world at the moment.
2. Hyperliquid never raised capital. Having no investors allowed founder to do whatever he wanted with the company. Team utilizes the time very efficiently.
3. No true competitor to the symbiosis of Hyperliquid and HYPE token. Look out for competitors in 2-3 years minimum (explain why in the article).
4. The token's value accrual (via buybacks) flows more directly between the protocol's usage and the community/team holding the token, there's no separate stakeholder class.
5. Founder was good enough to earn millions of dollars trading on his own. Trading is the most bad ass skill you could have: pure measurement.
6. Lighter has no advantage over Hyperliquid (enjoy being part of the sci-fi novel chains), and Aster was a fast attempt to conquer Hyperliquid, but no lasting financial infrastructure is built fast and out of envy.
7. If you look at Hyperliquid, even if you don't trade perps, you might still be interested in owning HYPE.
8. I use Uniswap and Aave on almost a daily basis, but why should I be interested in buying their tokens? To stake them and get even more (ouroboros), or vote in governance where private investors always have the majority of the voting rights? Thanks, I don't need that.
9. Hyperliquid is far from integrating the majority of trading instruments, currently there are only perps and binary options (prediction markets) live. Integrations of vanilla options will be one of the biggest and rewarding events.
10. Hyperliquid is positioned to keep pulling crypto traders away from Binance, Bybit, and OKX, while also drawing in commodity traders from traditional exchanges, potentially dominating this segment of the options market entirely.
11. Hyperliquid never invested money into marketing, and more importantly, into building its own ecosystem. The ecosystem play has always been the scam people have been falling for over the years.
12. People who want to use Hyperliquid or build on it don't need to talk to the Hyperliquid team directly. Smart decisions about setting a bar for market creation, no spam on the network.
13. Hyperliquid has a world-class team. Not in the sense that they hired the best people, but in the sense of management style. Don't think of Google, Meta, or Apple, think of Rockstar, Telegram, Valve.
14. Hyperliquid is a prime example of the "Zero to One" philosophy from Thiel's book. The idea of building a perp DEX is not new, but the idea of ruthless execution and literally not giving a damn about anything else is indeed new.
15. Another important thing to remember is that Hyperliquid emerged after the FTX crash, so you don't have to convince people about the benefits of self-custody, as this is now pretty self-explanatory.
16. Funny how conversations about "DEX vs. CEX" back in the day were pretty lopsided, and then the conversation changed to "Hyperliquid vs. CEXes" and became very serious.
17. $PURR and Hyperliquid Strategies are the only treasury companies in the world with a positive P&L.
18. If Hyperliquid's funding rates on perps undercut what's available elsewhere, capital flows in regardless of whether participants care about crypto.
19. Hyperliquid is both an open, composable protocol (like DeFi infrastructure) and a polished, sticky consumer product (like a well-run exchange app). Most projects are one or the other, in Hyperliquid's case, you don't have to pick a side.
20. Hyperliquid didn't feel the competition with other perp DEXes and started competing with crypto CEXes and major CEXes. That alone says everything you need to know.
1/ $HYPE is one of the clearest examples of DeFi competing with centralized exchanges on product and economics, not just ideology
Can an onchain exchange become one of the major venues for global trading?
A thread on @HyperliquidX 🧵
Hyperliquid, a decentralized crypto platform, is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The exchange has emerged this year as a go-to spot for Wall Street’s weekend warriors. https://t.co/3VCVCnxToh
Guys kencengin ikat pinggang. Gw sama suami bener2 memutuskan di rumah aja pas liburan nanti. Meskipun ada rejeki lebih baik disimpan or dibagi ke orang tua dan adik2.
Tough time ahead. Tapi semoga semua ini bisa kita lewati sama-sama.
Jangan lupa momen2 ini guys pas pemilu 2029 nanti. Beneran deh, gw pun mengingatkan ke diri gw sendiri. Selalu edukasi diri.
Polesan kamera itu menyakitkan. Uda stop justifikasi2 orang baik, politik itu harus damai, pilih pemimpin yg punya pengalaman. STOP.
Next time, gw cuma mau milih yg mendorong perubahan sistem. Ga ada lagi ngomong2in program kerja. Capek. Banyak banget program kerja, tapi ujung2nya mental juga kondisi ekonomi kita.
Kalo institusi bener2 jalan, at least kita ga ngerasa clueless kaya gini. Kita ga harus saling blaming each other. Kita ga harus dipaksa mikir setiap saat untuk issue yg seharusnya tugas yg menjalankan pemerintah.
Kuat2 semua. Apalagi sandwich generation, I feel you. 🫶🏼

Incase you're too slow to realize, this is a true 0 to 1 moment for Global Finance.
There is no other venue in the world where you can trade equities onchain, on a CLOB, permissionlessly, 24/7. This is the only relevant equity market in the world open through the weekend.
There are hundreds of millions of households around the world that would like access to equities but cannot, and this will be the only way they can get exposure.
Given that this is included in the native front end, we should see a massive rerating of both buy backs and fees over the rest of the year.
I've rebought back all my exposure. I suggest you do the same.
