For now, the focus of this article was on $HYPE and $HYPD. I did start comparing them to others, and I will be providing more coverage and analysis on the whole Fintech, DeFi, and some Crypto as the new rails of this new financial frontier we are entering into for my newsletter subscribers.

In his January shareholder letter, $HYPD CEO Hyunsu Jung highlighted 2026 priorities like deeper token deployment and revenue diversification. That's s smart move, but in reality, how do you see that playing out?

Excellent article! Love the thesis on $HYPD as the simple public entry to Hyperliquid's booming DeFi world. The combo of HYPE treasury + on-chain yields and partnerships looks like a smart edge. Bullish on the ecosystem growth—thanks for shining light on this!
