Hyperliquid Research Collective (HRC) published its second-quarter 2026 report on Hyperliquid. The report shows a stark divergence during the quarter: bitcoin fell 14%, while HYPE climbed 79% to an all-time high of $76.9. That marks the second straight quarter in which HYPE moved independently of mainstream crypto assets. HIP-3's real-world markets — spanning equities, commodities and pre-IPO targets — set new records in the quarter. Their trading volume reached $213 billion, representing 32.2% of all trading volume on the protocol. The remaining 67.8% came from other market segments. Protocol revenue totaled $169 million in Q2. Of that, $141 million was returned to token holders through buybacks. Cumulative protocol revenue has now crossed $1 billion, according to HRC. The report highlights the growth of Hyperliquid's non-crypto market verticals even as bitcoin's decline weighed on the broader sector. The Q2 data also shows that real-world markets accounted for roughly one-third of Hyperliquid's trading activity during the quarter.

Protocol revenue for the quarter came in at $169 million. Of that total, $141 million was returned to holders through buybacks. Cumulative protocol revenue has now topped $1 billion. The figures cap a quarter in which Hyperliquid's real-world market verticals became a larger slice of overall activity, while HYPE set a record high despite bitcoin's decline.
