At TOKEN2049 Singapore on October 7–8, 2026, CEO Jeff Yan presented Hyperliquid’s financial infrastructure as a way to rebuild market plumbing—not replace existing finance. His pitch centered on a public order book, a fee-funded token buyback system and a trading business in which traditional assets now account for one-third of volume. Key takeaways Hyperliquid runs its own blockchain for spot and perpetual futures trading. The Assistance Fund directs approximately 97–99% of net fees toward HYPE repurchases. Non-crypto assets represent one-third of the platform’s trading volume in 2026.
