Kinetiq has served as the foundation pillar of Hyperliquid's ecosystem since its launch nearly 1 year ago.
Kinetiq is now the 4th largest LST globally, and created the most robust liquid staking suite onchain, while pioneering the largest USDH HIP-3 DEX on Hyperliquid.
The $KNTQ TGE was an inflection point that ultimately proved that Kinetiq serves the greater ecosystem far beyond the surface level.
Every form of value the protocol generates is captured solely by the $KNTQ token - from staking revenue, to trading fees, to validator participation, and beyond.
Today, thinking of Kinetiq as merely a liquid staking protocol would be identical to thinking of Hyperliquid as merely a perps DEX, and the job has only just started.
The final kPoints snapshot will take place on September 29th, 2026, and the final distribution will take place on October 1st, 2026.
Heavily Kinetiq coded.
USDT now enabled as borrowable for portfolio margin on testnet. Mainnet on the next network upgrade.
@paoloardoino@tether you know what comes next. 500K HYPE staked and USDT becomes AQAv2. The door is open.
Hyperliquid.
kHYPE alone is now >$1b.
Then:
Earn (vkHYPE) –– $40.8m
Institutional (iHYPE) –– $34.3m
@Markets_xyz (kmHYPE) –– $40.8
On top of staked $KNTQ –– $20m, the staking vault which compounds buybacks exclusively for stakers.
There is no larger protocol on Hyperliquid.
Today we’re expanding our support for @HyperliquidX by becoming the platform’s official treasury deployer of USDC.
Onchain markets operate 24/7 and require collateral that is always available, instantly transferable, and deeply liquid - USDC delivers exactly that.
Alongside this, we’ve also significantly increased our position of staked HYPE.
