HyENA Officially Launches: Ethena-Backed, USDe-Margined Perp DEX Lands on Hyperliquid

深潮Pubblicato 2025-12-10Pubblicato ultima volta 2025-12-10

Introduzione

HyENA, a new perpetual DEX developed by the Based team, has officially launched on Hyperliquid. Supported by the Ethena Foundation, it introduces a novel trading model that allows users to post USDe as margin. A key innovation is that eligible USDe earns up to 12% APY while being used as collateral, enabling traders to generate yield on otherwise idle assets. The platform initially supports perpetual contracts for BTC, ETH, SOL, and HYPE. It also introduces a new DeFi primitive, HLPe, which consolidates various revenue streams like maker profits and funding rates into a single vault share for greater transparency and capital efficiency. HyENA is one of the first major products built on Hyperliquid's new HIP-3 standard, which allows builders to deploy their own perpetual markets with customizable parameters by staking HYPE. This framework enables faster listing of new trading pairs and innovative incentives while inheriting Hyperliquid's high performance. The Based team, a top builder on Hyperliquid and backed by Ethena, views HyENA as a critical step in establishing USDe as a premier margin asset in decentralized finance, bringing a high-frequency use case from centralized exchanges onchain.

At 9 PM Beijing Time on December 9th, the new Perp DEX — HyENA, developed by the Based team, officially launched on Hyperliquid and supports using USDe as margin. HyENA is supported by the Ethena Foundation and introduces a new trading model to the on-chain perpetual market by enhancing capital efficiency, allowing idle margin assets to continuously earn yields during trading periods.

The launch of HyENA further expands the USDe ecosystem and introduces institutional-grade margin efficiency to the on-chain perpetual market.

More Efficient Perpetual Trading with USDe

HyENA allows users to open perpetual contract positions using USDe as margin/collateral and eligible USDe margin can earn up to 12% APY in the first month after launch. This means that margin assets, which were previously non-yield-bearing, can now continuously generate interest during holding periods, enabling a "trade while earning" experience.

HyENA initially supports four trading pairs: BTC, ETH, SOL, and HYPE.

This launch also introduces the new DeFi primitive HLPe, which integrates core revenue sources such as market-making yields, trading fees, and funding rates into a single vault certificate, making the yield structure more transparent, composable, and further enhancing capital efficiency.

Powered by HIP-3: Builder-Deployed Perpetual Markets

HyENA is one of the first major products built on Hyperliquid’s latest standard, HIP-3 (Builder-Deployed Perpetuals). Under the HIP-3 framework:

  • Builders need to stake HYPE to obtain market deployment permissions and assume corresponding responsibilities

  • Each DEX (including HyENA) can freely configure market parameters (oracle, leverage, fees, position caps, etc.)

  • Builders can safely pause or settle markets when necessary

  • A unified Dutch auction mechanism ensures fair deployment costs

  • Protocol-level trading fees will be proportionally distributed to the deployer

Leveraging HIP-3, HyENA can list new perpetual trading pairs faster, test more innovative incentive mechanisms, and operate in a transparent, permissionless environment while inheriting the high performance and security of Hyperliquid’s underlying infrastructure.

Supported by Ethena, Developed by a Top Hyperliquid Builder

Based is the development team behind HyENA and is currently the highest-earning Builder in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, having outperformed Phantom. The Ethena Foundation is one of Based’s key investors and views HyENA as a critical step in advancing USDe as a premier margin asset for decentralized exchanges.

Edison Lim, Founder and CEO of Based App:

“HIP-3 opens the door to fully permissionless, builder-owned perpetual markets, and HyENA will be one of the first major markets to fully realize the potential of this standard. By using USDe as core margin, we enable idle collateral to continuously earn yield while users trade, which is a significant step forward for Hyperliquid’s capital efficiency.”

Guy Young, Founder of Ethena:

“Users on centralized exchanges like Bybit and Binance have already shown a preference for using USDe as margin, especially with reward incentives. The launch of HyENA will bring genuine, high-frequency, real-demand use cases for USDe in decentralized scenarios. This is a major milestone in advancing USDe as a primary margin asset for on-chain perpetual markets.”

Super League Stocks Rise 100% on Metaplanet Investment

On Tuesday, August 18, shares of Super League Enterprise (ticker: SLE) surged dramatically following an announcement by the Japan-based company Metaplanet. Metaplanet revealed plans to acquire approximately 95.7% of Super League's shares in exchange for 2,100 bitcoins (worth about $132.1 million and representing 4.9% of its 43,000 BTC treasury) and $2.5 million in cash, valuing the total transaction at roughly $134.6 million. As part of the deal, the Nasdaq-listed company will be rebranded as a US-based bitcoin management firm and will change its ticker from SLE to SUPA. Metaplanet and Super League emphasized this was a private placement into an existing entity, not a reverse merger or SPAC deal. The acquisition provides Metaplanet, led by CEO Simon Gerovich, with a second listed asset in a different currency and under another regulatory jurisdiction. The market reacted positively, with SLE shares jumping around 120% at the open, rising from $3.30 to $7.00 within the first half hour of trading before settling around $5.25. Post-acquisition, the consolidated company will manage a single bitcoin position, leveraging capital from both Japanese and US exchange platforms. Super League's original advertising and gaming media business will continue to operate as a separate segment.

OpenAI has released a version of ChatGPT for teenagers

OpenAI has launched a separate version of ChatGPT for teenagers, featuring enhanced safety measures and educational tools. The key addition is "Learning Mode," where instead of providing direct answers, the system guides teens with leading questions and step-by-step support, encouraging independent problem-solving. If the AI detects an attempt to get a ready-made homework answer, it displays a reminder and suggests switching to this educational format. Parents can enable this mode by default. The teen version includes default filters against harmful content. A parental control suite offers features like alerts for potentially risky situations, "quiet hours" to restrict access, and management of the child's security settings. OpenAI also announced a partnership with CodeAI to help teens understand how AI works and use it critically. This release follows lawsuits linking insufficient safeguards on AI chatbots to teen mental health issues and suicides. With ChatGPT reaching 900 million weekly users since 2022, the company aims to combine technical barriers with parental involvement for protection. However, questions remain about how resilient these new restrictions will be, given teens' historical ingenuity in bypassing parental controls on other platforms.

Analysis of 13F Holdings of Seven Major Funds: What Are Buffett, Duan Yongping, Li Lu, and Dan Bin Thinking?

A summary of Q2 2026 13F filings from seven major funds (Berkshire Hathaway, Duquesne Family Office, H&H International Investment, Himalaya Capital, ARK Investment, Oriental Harbor Investment Master Fund, Situational Awareness LP) reveals AI remains the central investment theme, with significant capital reallocation within the sector. Berkshire Hathaway, under Greg Abel, made its largest net stock purchases in years, heavily increasing its stake in Alphabet, signaling a strategic tilt towards tech while maintaining core holdings in consumer and financial stocks. Duquesne Family Office (Stanley Druckenmiller) rotated within semiconductors, selling Micron, Broadcom, and Intel but adding to positions in TSMC, STMicroelectronics, and AMD, while also reinvesting in cloud giants Alphabet and Amazon and cautiously re-entering Chinese tech via Baidu. H&H International Investment (Duan Yongping) and Himalaya Capital (Li Lu) both significantly increased their stakes in PDD, with Li Lu also concentrating his portfolio by selling out of several financial and energy holdings to focus on core positions like Alphabet and Berkshire. H&H also took profits from high-flying AI/tech names like Nvidia and Google, viewing the moves as valuation adjustments rather than a loss of conviction. ARK Investment (Cathie Wood) aggressively bought SpaceX upon its IPO and continued hunting for disruptive innovation across AI, energy, and biotech, while reducing its Tesla holding. Oriental Harbor Investment Master Fund (Dan Bin) executed a dramatic shift towards AI hardware, launching major new positions in Intel, SanDisk, AMD, and others while selling down software/platform holdings like Google and clearing out consumer names Apple and Tesla. Situational Awareness LP's filing, reflecting pre-liquidation positions, showed a story of missed hedging opportunities leading to significant losses. The consensus is that AI growth is continuing, but capital is actively rotating to identify the next profit centers within the value chain—from semiconductors and infrastructure to eventual commercialization. The filings, while lagging, offer a snapshot of how sophisticated investors are positioning for AI's next phase.

Arthur Hayes Makes a High-Profile Comeback, Flop Labs Aims to Become the "Fuel" for the Agent Economy

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has announced his return as head of a new project called Flop Labs, declaring "FLOP is food for your AI agent." This marks his first high-profile return to a leadership role since stepping back from BitMEX. Flop Labs aims to be a native monetary network and verifiable computation settlement layer for the AI Agent economy, distinguishing itself from existing AI Agent projects. Its core concept is "Proof-of-Useful-Inference," which seeks to integrate useful AI inference tasks into the blockchain consensus mechanism, allowing FLOP tokens to serve as the native currency for Agents to purchase computing resources and store memory. The ecosystem involves four key roles: Miners (provide GPU compute), Validators (verify services), Agents (consume services), and KOLs/Partners (community growth). The project promises a 100% fair launch with no presale or VC involvement. A large airdrop is planned for Q4 2026, with the genesis block targeted for Q1 2027. While the announcement has generated community excitement, particularly around the airdrop, the project is in an early conceptual stage. It currently lacks a published whitepaper, detailed tokenomics, technical specifics on its consensus mechanism, or smart contract audits. Arthur Hayes has defended the venture, separating his belief in the potential of the Agentic Economy from concerns about an AI stock bubble. The success of Flop Labs will hinge on its ability to deliver substantive technical progress and ecosystem development in the coming months.
