Over the last six months, Hyperion DeFi has focused heavily on building the Hyperliquid ecosystem and monetizing HYPE. Prior crypto-tagged events include a shareholder letter on Hyperliquid strategy (Jan 12), product launches like the Rysk-based volatility vault (Feb 4) and HyperLend lending pool (Mar 9), a HAUS agreement with Silhouette (Mar 24), and its Q1 earnings call scheduling (May 1). Today’s guidance reiteration around the USDH and Felix wind-down fits this ongoing narrative of reallocating HYPE toward new on-chain strategies.

DALLAS, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperion DeFi, Inc. (NASDAQ: HYPD) (“Hyperion DeFi” or the “Company”) today reiterates that the sunset of USDH and Felix Markets does not change its full-year 2026 guidance of
Hyperion DeFi’s partnership with Native Markets (the team behind the USDH stablecoin) ended on June 3, 2026, with all of the Company’s 300,000 HYPE tokens now available to be redeployed into other strategies. In addition, Felix Markets, whose HIP-3 markets are paired against USDH, has announced that it will close its perpetuals exchange by June 22, 2026, with all of Hyperion DeFi’s 500,000 HYPE tokens available for use in other strategies by June 29, 2026. None of the Company’s other partnerships are materially impacted by the USDH sunset.
“We are grateful for the Native Markets team’s early contributions to the success of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, and Felix being a first-mover on USDH-denominated HIP-3 markets,” said Hyunsu Jung, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperion DeFi. "We continue to maintain a robust pipeline of client demand across our varied on-chain businesses, and will strategically redeploy the returned HYPE into more profitable strategies and partnerships which will be announced in the near future. Our priority remains the same: create and return the value of Hyperliquid's growth to our shareholders. We will continue to lead in DeFi innovation, using HYPE to establish and scale revenues while onboarding more market participants to this ecosystem."
