happy i was able to contribute to this piece on The Great RWA Looping Trade
with crypto-native yield sources compressing, onchain capital is hungry for a new yield source. the hard part isn't the demand, it's the infrastructure
i see 3 main problems to solve:
-intelligent oracles for assets that don't trade 24/7
-atomic liquidation venues for illiquid collateral
-dynamic LTVs that protect lenders against adverse market moves
RWAs are ~5-10% of @Morpho's outstanding loans today (we're so early anon), and while looping may drive early growth, we are thinking much, much bigger:
-60% of Americans own stocks ($50k+ median)
-the avg American pays 10-12% apr to borrow against equities through traditional brokers
-stablecoin supply from a unified network of onchain lenders delivers rates 50%+ cheaper than what legacy providers offer
How? the DeFi Mullet
what we've built with @coinbase is replicable across every fintech, exchnage, broker, wealth tech platform, bank/neobank, etc. that wants to offer better rates to borrow against any asset
@Morpho solves the last mile problem for anyone to access the best financial tools for wealth-building
the TAM is hundreds of Trillions of $'s
you are not bullish enough

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!
Notable product and tech releases in 2025 included:
+ HyperEVM launch with HyperCore composability via precompiles and CoreWriter
+ Spot assets bridged by Unit
+ Fully permissionless validator set
+ Native utility to staking, with fee discounts for traders and permissionless HyperCore deployment capabilities for builders
+ Permissionless spot quote assets
+ Hypurr NFTs
+ USDH governance vote and launch by Native Markets
+ HIP-3 permissionless perp deployment
+ Native USDC integration
+ Portfolio margin pre-alpha launch
+ Assistance Fund HYPE officially burned
Compared to 2024, ATHs in 2025 reached:
+ $32B in 24h volume from $15B in 2024
+ $16B in open interest from $4B
+ $6B in TVL from $2B
+ $20M in 24h protocol revenue from $3.5M
+ 1.4M users from 300k
Excited to see what the ecosystem looks like another year from now. Thank you to all the builders, users, and supporters who have come together to push forward Hyperliquid’s vision.
Regulation isn’t coming. It’s already here.
2026 hard-codes crypto into financial law:
UK stablecoin regime.
MiCA Phase II.
Licensed markets in AU & Canada.
This is the line between experiments and infrastructure.
Capital doesn’t wait for narratives. It waits for rules.
