Hyunsu Jung, CEO of Hyperion DeFi, Inc.(NASDAQ:HYPD), stressed the company’s goal of steadily growing its Hyperliquid(CRYPTO: HYPE) reserve, noting that greater HYPE ownership is beneficial.
HYPE Accumulation to Continue, Says CEO
Hyperion DeFi holds a long-term strategic treasury of the native token of the Hyperliquid Layer-1 blockchain, specifically built for trading perpetual futures, spot assets and other financial derivatives.
It currently holds roughly 1.93 million HYPE, worth over $166 million, on its balance sheet, accordingto CoinGecko, making it the second-largest HYPE treasury company after Hyperliquid Strategies Inc.(NASDAQ:PURR).
In an email interview with Benzinga, Jung said the company plans to “consistently accumulate” HYPE over time, funded by revenue from expanding business lines and “accretive purchases” through access to public markets.
“We believe that more HYPE ownership is beneficial, given the trend that future new primitives on Hyperliquid will require some quantity of HYPE stake,” Jung added.
That said, Jung clarified that Hyperion DeFi is not solely focused on accumulating HYPE.
The company runs institutional-grade validators to generate native staking rewards through its HYPE holdings, while also allocating HYPE to core DeFi primitives such as lending, borrowing, and vault strategies.
Trump’s Endorsement ‘Extremely Positive’
The Hyperliquid ecosystem has kicked into high gear after President Donald Trump said at a White House summit that the administration is “working hard” to bring the decentralized exchange to the U.S. market “in a fully compliant and legal fashion.”
The HYPD stock is up 37% in a month, while the HYPE token has surged 58%.
“It’s extremely positive to see Hyperliquid acknowledged at that level, and to see support from key agencies like the CFTC clearing the way for Hyperliquid to be available in the U.S.,” Jung said.
Hyperion DeFi raised its full-year 2026 adjusted gross profit guidance to $7 million-$8 million on Tuesday, up from $5 million-$7 million. The Nasdaq-listed company also authorized a $20 million share repurchase program.
Price Action: At the time of writing, HYPE was exchanging hands at $85.74, up 1.92% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
Hyperion DeFi shares fell 0.84% in after-hours trading. The stock closed 8.48% higher at $3.58 during Tuesday’s regular trading session.
According to Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings, HYPD maintains stronger short- and medium-term price trends while lagging in the long term.
