The quiet guy who built the loudest exchange
Jeff Yan left high-frequency trading to build Hyperliquid, an on-chain perps exchange that took on the big centralized venues. He took no venture money, kept the team tiny and gave a big slice of the token straight to the people who used it.

Three acts. No VC money in any of them.

1The builder
Years in high-frequency trading, then one question: why can't a real exchange live fully on-chain?
-
2The stage
Hyperliquid grew into the biggest on-chain perps exchange, with no VC money behind it.
-
3The people's coin
HYPE went to the people who traded on Hyperliquid, not to insiders. $JEFF keeps the idea: every trade pays its holders in HYPE.
Why HYPE
Most tokens go to insiders first and to everyone else last. HYPE went the other way: a big slice to the people who traded on Hyperliquid, nothing to VCs.
The Jeff side
No VC money, no VC unlocks. A tiny team built the exchange and let the traders own a piece of it.
The HYPE side
Almost all of Hyperliquid's trading fees go to buying HYPE back from the market. The busier the exchange, the more HYPE it buys.
