While we don’t get the hype, there’s certainly quite some hype around HYPE – or rather Hyperliquid, a performant L1 with big ambitions. The self-proclaimed vision: a fully on-chain open financial system.
Hyperliquid boasts block latency of <1 second and currently supports 100k orders/second.
While Bitcoin hodlers might scoff at the various centralization vectors and weaknesses likely at play… they are not the target audience for this product.
Hyperliquid is essentially a bet on gamblers finding a way to gamble – even if traditional avenues become harder to access.
The internet proliferates – where there is demand, there is supply.
And as such, Hyperliquid – dubbed by some as the “Binance killer” – has seen significant uptake by global traders with limited market access on traditional exchanges, along with a resulting price surge in HYPE – the native utility and governance token in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
It even managed to outperform Bitcoin over the course of 2025 – a rare feat among altcoins, but here we are at the start of the last quarter of 2025.
Should you keep your long-term savings in “HYPE”?
Probably not – but we assume you knew that already.
How to earn Yield on HYPE?
You buy low, you sell high. Don’t know how?
Well, for the exclusive price of $1,000/month you can join our private paid group where… 😀
No, seriously – that’s a dumb way to approach it, but…
Some people will want to own, trade, and swap $HYPE – for one reason or another.
That’s their call, and from their perspective it might even be perfectly reasonable.
But let’s be honest: are publicly listed shares in random fiat-zombie companies really a more “prudent investment” these days?
You decide.
As for us, we’ve said it before: we aim to stay largely delta-neutral across the different “digital asset” classes.
Meaning – we prefer to keep our exposure to the various “printed-out-of-thin-air” coins rather limited.
With that said:
As one of the fastest instant swap exchange providers globally (yes, we run most of the infrastructure ourselves and provide in-house liquidity! And yes, you can integrate with our blazing-fast API if you want to build on top of it!), we need to provide liquidity on all offered swap pairs – and that’s where you, as a $HYPE investor, come into play:
If you’ve already decided to be “long HYPE,” you can now earn extra yield on your HYPE by lending it out as liquidity to our instant swap service – or, put simply:
You deposit it into the HYPE staking vault on BitcoinVN.
What’s the yield like?
That depends entirely on two main factors:
- How much $HYPE is utilized in our swap service (total turnover)
- How many other people have staked $HYPE at BitcoinVN
…since the total exchange fee rewards are split among all $HYPE stakers in the service.
Still unsure how it works?
Scroll down – we’ve listed more detailed explanations of the mechanics of the BitcoinVN staking service.
How to buy (or sell!) HYPE?
At BitcoinVN, you can swap any listed asset instantly for HYPE – or the other way around.
No sign-up, no unnecessary friction.
Try it out – and you’ll hopefully be pleasantly surprised by how fast and seamless the experience is.
And if it is not?
Message us via [email protected] – we are always keen to hear from our users on what can be improved to make the service an even more pleasant experience.
How to secure my HYPE?
If you’ve made it this far, you’ve probably heard (plenty of times) the mantra:
Not your keys, not your coins!
It’s old, it’s gold – and it remains a (still regularly ignored) key pillar of what makes this whole cryptocurrency thing work and be useful in the first place.
Now a word of caution:
While there are reports of people managing to store their HYPE (HyperEVM) on Trezor or Ledger devices, it still seems to require a fair bit of manual tinkering to make it work properly.
As such, the ecosystem is currently not yet at a level where we can proactively recommend using a hardware wallet to store your HYPE tokens – unless you’re a fairly technical person.
With that said – if you are in the market for a hardware wallet and based in Vietnam, check out what our colleagues at BitcoinVN Shop have on offer.
All the newest models from Ledger, Trezor and other leading manufacturers – with fast shipping straight from our Vietnam-based warehouse, skipping the unnecessary customs hassle while preserving some more of your privacy if you chose to do so.
