Data coverage

2022–2026, metrics current through late July 2026

Executive Summary

• Hyperliquid has established category leadership in decentralized perpetual futures, capturing roughly 60–80% of the market in recent periods and becoming the dominant on-chain venue for the segment.

• The protocol has proven financially productive: cumulative revenue has exceeded $1.1B–$1.17B, with the large majority of fees — an estimated 97–99% — routed to the Assistance Fund for HYPE buybacks and burn-related value accrual.

• Hyperliquid's product surface is expanding well beyond perpetuals. HIP-3 permissionless markets and HIP-4 outcome/prediction contracts are live, alongside stablecoin infrastructure and a growing HyperEVM app ecosystem.

• The long-term opportunity is a transition from trading venue to financial infrastructure — a unified home for crypto, RWAs, event markets, lending, yield, and institutional trading. The report frames this as competing to become "the operating system for global on-chain markets," not simply the largest perpetual DEX.
