Hyperliquid is one of the most talked-about platforms in crypto right now.
It’s an onchain perpetuals exchange that sidestepped VCs, built a deeply loyal user base, and launched with transparency most rivals avoid. But it’s also staring down some massive challenges—from incoming competitors like Coinbase and Robinhood, to the technical hurdles of decentralizing its core exchange engine.
Arthur Hayes, CIO of Maelstrom and one of crypto’s most iconic traders, and Hanson Birringer of Flowdesk discuss:
What actually drove Hyperliquid’s success
How a user-first approach is outpacing venture-backed models
Whether the James Wynn saga was legit
Why the HIP-3 proposal could be the “holy grail” for DEXes
And whether Hyperliquid can survive its next big test: the entrance of giants
