HIP-3 live on the
Hl.xyz front-end this weekend was not on our bingo card, but very welcome OFC 💚 —
@chameleon_jeff back on the risk-on arc? We already knew he wasn’t 996, but this is bigger than
$USDH, kek.
Some great takes from
@ThinkingUSD’s latest pod which is a must listen:
– Longs perpetualization is the real trade you do not have to miss —
$HYPE, with clear bias, remains the better proxy (buybacks team alignment).
– Echoes
@izebel_eth’s point on the over-gamblification arc — rhyming perfectly with the Fourth Turning (still
@RaoulGMI’s best recommendation ever).
– Jez’s July essay aged like fine
$HYPE @ 35 called by
@smartestmoney .
However, as one of the largest options users in DeFi (> $500M notional traded), and clearly bias as well: Perps won’t fully replace options — they’ll converge on
@HyperliquidX. ( BTW we can’t wait for
@HyperdeltaX 💚)
Sure, once a 0DTE goes ITM, the payoff = a perp. And a perp is a much cleaner UX for the hyper-gamblers, sure — but that’s just one PMF.
Convex payoff would be still a thing for different users who want different exposures.
And in the perpetualization bet, options are actually best friends —
they add real base volume from folks like us who delta-hedge.
The “perps > options” narrative assumes the hyper-gambler is the only PMF, but our thesis is broader — Hyperliquid as the liquidity layer for ALL finance, not just hyper-gamblers.
The issue is you needed very liquid and integrated delta-1 to make options competitive that’s exactly what’s
@HyperliquidX coreWriter are enabled.
If Jeff’s right and $HYPE’s upper bound isn’t just
@degennQuant FUD levels 🤣,then we’d better start thinking bigger as Hyper-liquid ecosystem.
The house of ALL finance.
High-margin hyper-gamblers are welcome, kek —
but there’s a lot more to build on Hyperliquid.
