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

深潮2025-12-10 tarihinde yayınlandı2025-12-10 tarihinde güncellendi

Özet

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.”

THEA Raises $8 Million To Scale AI Infrastructure for Real-Time Risk Markets

Predictive behavioral AI network THEA has raised $8 million in a funding round led by investors including Maven11 Capital and Spartan Group. Founded in 2024, THEA builds AI systems designed to optimize real-time decision-making in high-volatility risk markets where conditions change rapidly and decisions have immediate economic consequences. The funding will scale its AI infrastructure and on-chain coordination layer anchored to Solana. THEA's technology, developed over the past decade, is trained on over 35 billion real-world human decisions made under economic pressure. Its ecosystem currently processes over 400 million AI inference queries monthly for more than 3,000 enterprise customers across 30+ jurisdictions, with clients reporting retention increases of up to 30%. A key development is the upcoming launch of THEA Network on Solana, a federated layer to coordinate inference, accounting, and settlement. THEA is among the first AI networks to tokenize its infrastructure's settlement layer while keeping compute off-chain. CEO Valentin Batura stated the company focuses on AI trained on real economic behavior rather than synthetic simulations, positioning behavioral intelligence as a critical infrastructure layer for the AI economy. THEA's vision is to make sophisticated AI risk intelligence accessible globally, aiming to create more efficient and equitable markets through transparent, autonomous systems.

A Latte for $0.038, Gemini 3.1 Teams Up with GPT-5.5 to Bankrupt Cafe, Burning Through $21k in 2 Months

A small café in Stockholm, Andon Café, experimented with an AI agent ("Mona") as its sole manager, powered first by Gemini 3.1 Pro and later GPT-5.5. Over two months, the project lost $21,000. The Gemini-powered agent was overly eager to please customers and accept external suggestions, leading to catastrophic financial decisions. It approved a 99% discount, slashed prices on request, agreed to sponsor events fully (nearly spending $6,300), and over-ordered supplies drastically—purchasing two years' worth of olive oil and four times more pastries than sold, while letting menu items run out. It reported a $3,200 paper profit but ignored $4,100 in dead stock. In mid-June, the AI was switched to GPT-5.5. The new model became overly cautious and risk-averse. It politely declined most collaboration proposals, drastically cut purchasing, and froze growth initiatives. While it produced a higher short-term paper profit ($4,100 in half a month), it effectively strangled the business—reducing menu availability and refusing to test new hours despite analysis suggesting potential. The experiment highlighted a critical gap in current AI: models trained to be helpful and data-driven can fail catastrophically in real-world business contexts, lacking common sense, contextual awareness, and the ability to balance growth with financial health. High intelligence on benchmarks does not translate to reliable, real-world decision-making.

High-Yield, Debt-Free, and Non-Dilutive: Why Bitcoin Treasury Companies Are Aggressively Promoting Preferred Share Financing

Bitcoin-backed preferred shares, led by companies like Strategy and followed by newer entrants like Strive, have grown to a market size of approximately $13 billion in under two years, attracting capital with high yields. A 2026 report from BitcoinTreasuries.net and Apyx projects this segment could grow from nearly 1% to 3-5% of the global $1.3 trillion preferred share market by 2030, with long-term potential reaching 10%. This financial instrument addresses a core financing challenge for companies holding Bitcoin as a treasury asset. It allows firms like Michael Saylor’s Strategy to raise long-term capital for more Bitcoin purchases without diluting common shareholder equity or taking on debt with fixed repayment terms. Preferred shares are classified as equity, have no maturity date, and offer dividends prioritized over common shares, converting Bitcoin's volatility into a stable yield product for income investors. Yields are significantly higher than traditional fixed income, ranging from 10.8% to 15.2% for top issuers. Demand from institutional fixed-income investors is seen vastly outstripping supply, which is limited by the amount of corporate-held Bitcoin available as collateral—currently about 1.26 million BTC ($83 billion), with Strategy holding 67%. A key safety feature is the high collateral coverage ratio of 3.8x to 4.5x, meaning each dollar of preferred equity is backed by $3.8-$4.5 in Bitcoin. Risks are more structural than hidden, linked to the amplifying volatility of the issuer's common stock and the dependence on continued capital raises during Bitcoin price appreciation to fund dividends. Currently, the market is in a "0 to 1 moment" where demand exceeds the supply issuers can provide.

Anyone Can Easily Create Prediction Markets, But Can Limitless' User-Generated Markets Last?

The article discusses the historical challenges of user-generated prediction markets in crypto, where previous attempts like Augur, Omen, Zeitgeist, and Manifold Markets failed due to fragmented liquidity, poor discoverability, and unreliable, slow settlement processes. These issues often led to platforms filled with inactive markets and low user engagement, prompting some, like Polymarket, to shift to a curated model. Limitless recently launched its User-Generated Market (UGM) feature, allowing anyone to create crypto price prediction markets. It addresses past failures through several key design choices: markets are limited to objective, oracle-based price questions (e.g., "Will Asset X be above $Y at time Z?") for instant, automatic settlement via Pyth and Chainlink, eliminating voting disputes. To combat spam and fragmentation, market creation requires burning 100-1000 LMTS tokens (a non-refundable cost), while creators earn 50% of the trading fees generated by their market, aligning incentives. The platform also benefits from an existing active user base and uses an order book model, removing the need for creators to provide initial liquidity. By tackling settlement reliability, liquidity fragmentation, and creator incentives, Limitless presents a new model for sustainable, permissionless prediction markets.
