Hyperliquid insider lays out 2026 bull case around perps, tokenization and stablecoins

A podcast note compiled by TechFlowPost captures a detailed bull case for Hyperliquid from Hanson Birringer, co-founder and chief revenue officer of Hyperdash and a core contributor to Hyper Holdings Global. Birringer argues that Hyperliquid is one of the few crypto assets that can express three large themes at once: perpetuals, tokenization and stablecoins. He points to Hypercore’s position in perp trading, HIP-3’s push into RWA and stock perpetuals, and USDC’s role as the aligned quote asset on Hyperliquid. In his account, roughly $10 billion in stablecoin supply on the platform could channel 90% of underlying interest income into an assistance fund that programmatically buys back HYPE on-chain, creating annual buy pressure in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The discussion also covered Builder Codes, the prospect of regulated front ends accessing Hyperliquid infrastructure, the role of the Hyperliquid Policy Center in Washington, and the Grayscale Hyperliquid staking ETF seeded through Hyper Holdings Global. Birringer said investors view Hyperliquid as a five- to ten-year position and framed HYPE as a cash-flow-bearing asset that can be valued more like a growth company than a speculative token. TechFlowPost separately noted that Birringer is deeply economically tied to the Hyperliquid ecosystem through both Hyperdash and Hyper Holdings, and that his comments should be read as an insider thesis rather than independent analysis.

Revenue Sharing Is Reshaping Crypto Protocols, and Maple, Uniswap V4 and Sky Show Why

Castle Labs used this week’s Chronicle to make a broader point about the current crypto cycle: headline activity metrics are no longer enough on their own. Investors are asking where protocol revenue goes, how durable it is, and whether token holders, LPs, stakers or treasury structures actually capture any of it. That shift is visible across several cases covered in the report. Maple, despite posting a record first half with $4.6 billion in AUM, 81% year-over-year growth, and $4.4 million in Q2 revenue, is facing questions over the design of its new rules-based buyback framework. The protocol plans to tie buybacks to monthly gross revenue, but tokens repurchased under the plan are set to flow into the SYRUP Strategic Fund, leaving open questions about whether the mechanism behaves more like treasury management than a direct value-accrual model for SYRUP holders. Uniswap has now activated protocol fees on V4, reviving a familiar debate around LP economics and UNI utility. Sky, meanwhile, reported a record June revenue run rate of $419 million and more than $250 million in USDS yield distribution, yet its Prime Agent structure makes it harder to determine what SKY holders are actually entitled to. The report also highlights Theo’s integration of Fidelity International’s FILQ into thBILL, OndoPerps’ launch with tokenized equities as collateral, and several themes Castle Labs is tracking, including Circle Agent Stack, Robinhood Chain and an SEC roundtable on IPO access.
