Hyperliquid governance vote aims to permanently sideline $1B Assistance Fund

cointelegraphPublicado em 2025-12-17Última atualização em 2025-12-17

Resumo

The Hyper Foundation has proposed a validator vote to formally recognize approximately $1 billion worth of HYPE tokens held in the protocol’s Assistance Fund as permanently inaccessible. These tokens, accumulated through automated conversion of trading fees, are stored in a system address designed without retrieval mechanisms. A "Yes" vote would classify these tokens as burned, excluding them from circulating and total supply calculations. This move aims to clarify HYPE’s true supply amid growing institutional interest, as the protocol has generated around $874 million in fees year-to-date, with 99% routed to the Assistance Fund for token repurchases. The proposal does not reduce existing supply but formalizes the treatment of fee-derived tokens. Hyperliquid remains a major perpetual DEX, with over $205 billion in trading volume in the last 30 days.

The Hyper Foundation proposed a validator vote to formally recognize HYPE tokens held in the Hyperliquid protocol’s Assistance Fund system address as permanently inaccessible, excluding them from the asset’s circulating and total supply.

According to the Foundation, the Assistance Fund is a protocol-level mechanism embedded in the layer-1 network’s execution. It automatically converts trading fees into HYPE tokens and routes them to a designated system address. At the time of writing, the wallet contains about $1 billion in tokens.

The system address was designed without control mechanisms, making the funds irretrievable without a hard fork. “By voting ‘Yes,’ validators agree to treat the Assistance Fund HYPE as burned,” Hyper Foundation wrote.

Native Markets, the issuer of the Hyperliquid-native stablecoin USDH, reminded users that 50% of the stablecoin’s reserve yield is routed to the Assistance Fund and converted into HYPE tokens. “Should this validator vote pass, these contributions will then be formally recognized as burned,” the company wrote.

Clarifying supply amid institutional interest

While the proposal uses the term “burned,” it does not reduce the existing supply. Instead, it formalizes how the fee-derived tokens are treated for governance purposes, reducing ambiguity around Hyper’s effective supply.

The distinction has become more relevant as Hyperliquid’s fee-driven model has been attracting institutional attention.

In a research note covering Hyperliquid-focused digital asset treasuries (DATs), financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald framed Hyperliquid as a protocol that returns nearly all of its fee revenue to tokenholders through automated repurchases.

Cantor estimated that Hyperliquid generated approximately $874 million in fees year-to-date (YTD) as of 2025. The company said 99% of protocol fees are routed through the Assistance Fund mechanism to repurchase HYPE.

The firm characterized the repurchases as a contributor to a declining circulating supply. However, the Hyper Foundation’s proposal drew a clear line by recognizing that the Assistance Fund balances were never intended to be spendable or recoverable.

The vote aims to align supply metrics with protocol design, rather than creating scarcity retroactively.

Hyperliquid volume and HYPE DAT holdings

Hyperliquid remains one of the top contenders in the perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) space. In the last 30 days, DefiLlama data shows that the protocol recorded over $205 billion in perpetuals trading volume, making it the third-largest perps DEX in the time frame.

Furthermore, a growing ecosystem of DAT companies has emerged around HYPE. According to Cantor, Hyperion DeFi (HYPD) holds about $46 million in HYPE tokens in its treasury, while Hyperliquid Strategies (PURR) holds about $340 million.

The Post-Plunge Panorama: Institutions Cry 'Buy the Dip' as Traders Turn to U.S. Stocks

Amidst a significant market correction, Bitcoin (BTC) briefly fell below the $60,000 mark to around $59,130 on June 6th. While it later rebounded to near $63,000, breaking the key psychological level severely impacted market confidence, with the current sentiment index indicating "extreme fear." Altcoins followed the broader downturn. Market participants offer mixed views on whether this is a buying opportunity. On the bullish side, analysts from Glassnode and Strive Asset Management point to Bitcoin touching its 200-week moving average—a historically reliable buy signal—and suggest a higher-probability bottom zone between $46k and $54k. Standard Chartered's digital assets head believes the bottom is "almost in," anticipating large-scale buybacks. Analysts Darkfost and trader Killa also see current levels as a generational or long-term accumulation opportunity, citing deeply oversold technical models. Conversely, NYDIG's research highlights capital rotation from crypto into outperforming AI stocks as a headwind, noting the current ~53% drawdown is milder than historical cycles. Polymarket prediction data shows a 72% probability of BTC falling below $55k, though odds for a drop below $35k-$40k are seen as lower. Notably, some traders, like Eugene Ng, have pivoted away, citing more attractive opportunities in equities and unresolved systemic risks (referencing a major entity's BTC sales), and are avoiding attempts to "catch a falling knife." In summary, while several institutional voices and on-chain metrics suggest a nearing bottom and a strategic buying zone, significant near-term downside risk remains acknowledged. The market exhibits a clear divide between those seeing a historic entry point and those withdrawing to wait for clearer signals or better risk/reward ratios.

Ray Dalio: The Return of a China-led 'Tribute System', and the AI Industry Will Develop Like the Electric Vehicle Industry

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, discusses shifting global power dynamics and AI competition between China and the US. Following recent visits to China by world leaders, Dalio observes a decline in the perceived reliability of the US as a global power and a rise in China's influence. He suggests a modern "tribute system" is emerging, where nations acknowledge China's strength, impacting global trade and security. This geopolitical shift creates market uncertainty, leading Dalio to advise investors to diversify assets, including holding gold. Regarding AI, Dalio contrasts the approaches of the two nations. He states China views AI as a public utility, akin to electricity, aiming for broad workforce accessibility over immediate profitability. Chinese companies focus on widespread adoption and productivity gains, following a strategy similar to their success in the electric vehicle industry. In contrast, US AI firms are more focused on commercialization and subscription models. A Morgan Stanley executive noted the Chinese perspective lacks fear of AI displacing jobs, instead emphasizing its use to drive development and dominate future industries like robotics.

BofA's Hartnett: Brace for the 'June Storm', US CPI to 'Burst the Bubble'

Bank of America strategist Hartnett warns of a potential "June storm" for markets, with an unexpectedly high US CPI print set to be the key catalyst. Historical data shows that when CPI surpasses 4%, the S&P 500 has historically fallen by an average of 4% over the next 3 months and 7% over 6 months. A confluence of risks threatens to puncture the tech asset bubble. Global central banks, notably the Fed under Chair Warsh, are tilting hawkish to combat inflation, risking a sharp rise in long-term bond yields. Market sentiment is at an extreme, with BofA's internal indicators flashing a strong "sell signal." Further pressure comes from record liquidity drainage due to mega IPOs like SpaceX, alongside key non-economic events. Hartnett concludes that risk assets are in an extremely fragile position, facing a severe test from macro events, policy shifts, and tightening liquidity in June.

Ansem: I Disagree That Crypto is Over, Bullish on AI and Small Team Startups

Crypto analyst Ansem argues that crypto is maturing, not dying, despite poor performance of major tokens like BTC and ETH. Key structural trends with staying power are stablecoins, perpetual contracts, and tokenization, as proven by projects like Hyperliquid. BTC's current stagnation is attributed to temporary issues like its "pyramid-like" tendencies from corporate strategies and quantum computing concerns, not industry failure. Ethereum and other L1s struggle as their tokens rely on "future growth" narratives rather than capturing real revenue from applications built on them. However, Ansem sees strong reasons for optimism. Regulatory improvements are lowering barriers for crypto entrepreneurs, while traditional firms like Robinhood and Stripe are adopting blockchain. Although AI and tech stocks have recently outperformed crypto, several crypto tailwinds are underestimated: the rise of competitive open-source AI, easier startup creation for small teams using software, and blockchain/stablecoins being superior infrastructure for AI agent transactions. Combined with improving regulation and potential for renewed retail speculation, these factors suggest a future with more, not fewer, crypto experiments and token innovations.

A Wave of Resistance Against AI Data Centers Sweeps the U.S., and the Most Vocal Are Not in Wealthy Areas

A nationwide movement against AI data center construction is gaining momentum across the US, from Vermont to California. New York's legislature recently passed a one-year moratorium, and Illinois has paused tax incentives for such projects. A new report, featuring exclusive data analysis from researcher Geoff Holtzman, challenges the narrative that opposition is led by wealthy "NIMBYs." Key findings reveal: 1) Resistance is highest in the poorest communities (19% protest rate) and lowest in the wealthiest (3.8%). 2) Proposed data centers facing community protests are over five times more likely to be canceled or paused (28.2% vs. 5.2%). 3) The higher cancellation rate in low-income areas is directly explained by their higher protest rates. A separate Heatmap poll shows 55% of Americans strongly oppose local data centers, with opposition strongest among Democrats, rural residents, and young adults (80% of 18-35 year olds). The analysis concludes that the anti-data center movement is largely driven by working-class communities and is proving effective at halting projects.
