Hyperliquid co-founder says private markets present a major opportunity

Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan said during Korea Blockchain Week 2026 on Sept. 30 that private markets with access restrictions represent a "huge opportunity." He said enabling global market participants to discover prices for those assets would ultimately carry social value. Yan also said Hyperliquid is exploring opportunities across a broader set of financial markets. His comments come after the platform has gradually expanded the range of tradable assets on offer and moved into adjacent areas including prediction markets and options. The remarks outline how Hyperliquid is framing its next phase of product exploration: not only widening the asset universe available on the platform, but also looking at market structures that could bring pricing activity to assets that have traditionally been less accessible.

Hyperliquid outlines HyperCore’s modular lending design as available supply tops $400 million on day one

Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan used Amazon Web Services as a reference point on Sept. 18 to explain how HyperCore separates financial functions into standalone modules. On the same day, HyperCore enabled manual borrowing, allowing users to post HYPE or BTC as collateral and borrow USDC or USDT. Yan said borrowers had more than $400 million in available supply on the first day. Public API data cited in the report showed the USDC lending pool at roughly $408 million in supply, with $279 million already borrowed, putting utilization at 68.3%. Borrow rates were listed at 5% annually, while depositors were earning about 3.08% annualized. The report also said idle stablecoins held by portfolio margin users would automatically earn yield. Yan argued that each loan on HyperCore has a matching supplier, keeping risk inside the lending module rather than spreading it across the whole platform. Hyperliquid’s documents also indicate that HyperCore is not intended to become a full lending marketplace. Tokenized deposit positions and broader lending products are expected to be built by independent teams on HyperEVM, with future upgrades set to let smart contracts supply liquidity through CoreWriter.

Jeff Yan says HIP-4 will allow permissionless deployment after Hyperliquid’s next network upgrade

Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan said in a Discord post that HIP-4 will open for permissionless deployment after the network’s next upgrade. He also said different market templates will not go live all at once, but will be introduced step by step through validator voting. The update was reported by Odaily in a brief market analysis item. No additional rollout date or upgrade schedule was disclosed in the source. The statement ties the HIP-4 change directly to the next network upgrade and indicates that validator voting will be used to phase in support for different market templates.

HyperCore manual borrowing feature goes live on testnet

Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan said the manual borrowing feature for HyperCore is now live on testnet. On mainnet, all borrowing functions remain limited to portfolio margin mode. Yan also said HyperEVM smart contracts can already access HyperCore lending and borrowing functions through CoreWriter and read-only precompiled contracts. The update outlines a testnet rollout for manual borrowing while keeping current mainnet borrowing scope unchanged. It also points to existing connectivity between HyperEVM smart contracts and HyperCore’s lending system through the specified interfaces.

Hyperliquid Founder Jeff Yan Says Hard Work Should Come Before Smart Work

Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan has pushed back against the popular idea that “smart work” should come first. Instead, he argues that people can train themselves to focus for longer stretches, starting from 10 hours a week and building up to 40 hours or even 100 hours. He says he once spent months working on an automated trading system from about 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, and described that pace as roughly 17 hours a day devoted to one goal. Yan also said this is not life advice for everyone, adding that 99% of people need work-life balance and that this is fine. But for people who have found a mission and know exactly what they want to build, his view is far more aggressive: commit fully, avoid chasing shortcuts too early, and let the mission consume your life if that is truly what you want. He also extended the logic to health, saying physical issues can become a bottleneck for output and that his own routine has included about 30 minutes of high-intensity exercise a day.

Hyperliquid’s Jeff Yan says crypto’s biggest risk is young founders choosing AI

Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan said the risk he worries about most is not regulation, rival exchanges, market cycles or smart contract threats, but the steady pull of top young talent toward artificial intelligence. In his view, crypto, fintech and onchain finance still have not attracted enough of the highest-quality founders and engineers, especially at a time when AI offers more capital, more public attention and more startup opportunities. Yan also said he does not spend much of his time watching daily platform metrics such as trading volume, market share or liquidity depth, even though Hyperliquid operates in a highly quantitative market where those figures are closely tracked. He argued that teams that focus too heavily on improving existing metrics by a few percentage points can end up relying on subsidies, short-term campaigns or copycat product work, instead of building something that did not exist before. He pointed to Hyperliquid’s HIP-4 outcome markets as an example of that product approach. Yan said outcome markets should not be viewed only as prediction tools for elections, sports or other events. He described them as a different margin and payout structure, one that could be used to create fully collateralized, capped-loss contracts. He said that framework may be especially relevant for onchain options, where liquidity and capital efficiency have remained major obstacles.
