Hyperliquid Emerges as a Structural Growth Story: At a time when the broader digital asset market remains under pressure, led by Bitcoin’s recent weakness, including in the past 24 hours (see below and Tagus <> Bytes: June 3, 2026), Hyperliquid stands out as a key structural growth story in the sector. It has rapidly emerged as one of the fastest-growing trading venues in digital assets, increasingly blurring the lines between decentralised finance and traditional capital markets. In 2025, Hyperliquid processed around US$2.9tn in trading volume and generated more than US$840mn in revenue, surpassing several major centralised exchanges, including Coinbase, while accounting for more than half of all decentralised perpetual futures trading activity.

For the implications of its native token HYPE, see below.
