If Hyperliquid Is the New Nasdaq, Which Projects Are Playing the Role of Brokers?
Amidst sluggish market conditions, several crypto startups are pivoting towards building on the Hyperliquid ecosystem, positioning it as a potential "on-chain Nasdaq." These projects are developing trading frontends, strategy platforms, AI Agents, and custom markets using HIP-3, aiming to capture value by acting as "brokerages" that interface with users.
The core idea is that while Hyperliquid provides the foundational liquidity and matching engine (like an exchange), these upper-layer applications handle user acquisition, product design, and experience optimization (like brokerages such as Robinhood). Their primary revenue models include transaction fee sharing and the potential appreciation of the HYPE token required for deployment.
Key projects highlighted include:
* **Trade.xyz**: Dominates the HIP-3 space by bringing traditional finance assets (indices, commodities, stocks) onto Hyperliquid.
* **Dreamcash**: Focuses on mobile user growth with a simplified, gamified interface to lower the barrier to entry.
* **Ventuals**: Targets the Pre-IPO market, creating perpetual contracts for unicorn company valuations.
* **Based**: Aims to be a "super app" combining trading, prediction markets, and crypto payments, introducing yield-generating collateral via its HyENA protocol.
* **Minara AI**: Explores an AI Agent future, allowing users to execute trades on Hyperliquid via natural language commands to AI tools.
The article concludes that this open, composable ecosystem is Hyperliquid's key competitive advantage. It is evolving from a user-facing platform into a financial operating system (Financial OS). This creates a symbiotic network where each new application brings more users and liquidity to Hyperliquid, while the applications benefit from its robust infrastructure. This network effect could define the next phase of competition among decentralized financial networks.
