A Valuation of Hyperliquid

Key Insights

  • Since our last report, Hyperliquid’s metrics have continued to grow despite the end of its points program, with the perp DEX making all-time highs in sector market share and open interest in October.
  • Over 35 teams have announced plans to launch on or integrate with the planned HyperEVM, moving Hyperliquid closer to a broader general purpose L1.
  • As a full-stack vertically integrated protocol, Hyperliquid warrants a unique valuation framework which accounts for both the leading perp DEX and the underlying L1 network.
  • Our sum-of-the-parts valuation method places Hyperliquid’s FDV at ~$3 billion, ~$13 billion, and ~$34 billion across our bear, base, and bull cases.
