Hyperliquid sees over $1 billion USDC net inflows since token launch
Quick Take Hyperliquid has seen $1 billion net inflows of USDC into its network since the launch of its native token Hype. The price of Hype surged more than 590% since its launch. Hyperliquid also announced Monday that it has reached a new all-time high in open interest of above $4.3 billion.
Hyperliquid, the decentralized perpetual trading platform and Layer 1 blockchain, has seen over $1 billion worth of USDC net inflows into the chain since the launch of its native token, Hype, according to blockchain analytics firm Spot On Chain.
The platform’s deposit bridge currently holds over $2.1 billion worth of USDC stablecoin, Spot On Chain’s data shows.
Hyperliquid is a decentralized platform that allows users to trade perpetual derivatives by aggregating liquidity from various sources, where users can also trade crypto with leverage. It operates as a Layer 1 app chain with native meme tokens like Purr, Points, etc.
The trading platform, which had been operating without a native token, launched Hype on Nov. 29 to much anticipation, as it accompanied a community airdrop from one of the most prominent decentralized trading platforms.
The token plays a crucial role in the platform’s native perpetual and spot decentralized exchange, where it will be traded against USDC on the native spot order book. It also acts as the native gas token for HyperEVM, the platform’s execution environment. Hype token has surged more than 590% from $3.90 at launch to its current price of $26.61, according to CoinGecko data .
The token launch also gained traction as the project emphasized that there are zero token supply allocations for private investors, exchanges or market makers to preserve its focus on building a fully community-owned network.
“The Hyperliquid genesis pays homage to the original ethos of Bitcoin: ownership goes to the believers and doers, not rent-seeking insiders,” Jeff Yan, co-founder of Hyperliquid, wrote on X earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Hyperliquid also announced Monday that it has reached a new all-time high in open interest of above $4.3 billion, indicating heightened user interest and activity along with the $1 billion USDC inflow milestone.
According to data from DefiLlama, Hyperliquid’s total value locked (TVL) soared from $196 million on Nov. 29 to $3.203 billion today.

"Agent vs US Treasury" — Who Will Dominate the US Stock Market?
The wave of AI Agents and US Treasury yields are splitting the US stock market into two worlds: Meta's release of the Muse model boosted its market value by $220 billion in a single week, propelling the Nasdaq's standout performance; however, excluding AI stocks, the S&P 500 actually fell 1% this week, with the number of new lows on the New York Stock Exchange surpassing new highs for nine consecutive days, signaling the near end of "breadth trading." Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that this is a "frustrating cat-and-mouse game" between the stock market and interest rates—any breakout can be snuffed out by the bond market at any time, so equity holders must short US Treasury bonds to hedge simultaneously.
