As the first publicly-listed Hyperliquid [HYPE] DeFi company in the U.S, Hyperion is the center of attention today. Their progress is visible in HYPE’s YTD numbers, with a potentially new model for value creation emerging.
Hyperion DeFi reports Q4 numbers

Hyperliquid generates $1.5 million in revenue in 24 hours
Beyond Hyperion’s strong quarter, the engine driving value is right there in Hyperliquid’s on-chain data. I
n the last 24 hours alone, the protocol saw roughly $1.51 million in revenue. This was directly used to buy back around 36,745 HYPE tokens and remove them from circulation.
Every trade and interaction generates fees, funds buybacks, and burns the tokens that were bought back. So far, the protocol has removed over 42.6 million HYPE tokens (valued at $1.7 billion) from supply.
Unlike burn events, the model brings deflation to real usage. This creates a persistent buy pressure that grows with the platform.
HYPE posts 63% YTD gains
This buyback pressure was visible in the native token’s price action too. At the time of writing, HYPE was up over 60% YTD, going from sub-$25 levels to nearly $40 as seen on the daily chart. Higher lows through March meant buying was steady, while the pace seemed to be rightly elevated.
Price expansion has closely tracked rising protocol revenue and consistent token burns. As long as on-chain activity holds, demand and decreasing supply could continue to move in tandem.
Final Summary
- The first U.S listed DeFi company Hyperion reported 64% revenue growth in Q4 2025 and 87% profits.
- Hyperliquid’s $1.5M daily revenue is helping buybacks and burns while also pushing the price up over 60% this year.
