At TOKEN2049 Singapore on October 7–8, 2026, 
Hyperliquid CEO Jeff Yan described the platform’s financial infrastructure as a way to improve market plumbing rather than displace existing finance. According to The Cryptonomist, the presentation centered on Hyperliquid’s public order book, fee-funded token purchases and a trading business that has expanded beyond digital assets.
The report says 97–99% of Hyperliquid’s net fees are directed toward HYPE buybacks. It also reported that traditional assets now account for one-third of trading volume, indicating that the platform’s activity includes a broader mix of markets than its native ecosystem alone. No additional outlet supplied independent confirmation for either figure.
DeFiLlama’s live data put Hyperliquid’s total value locked at $1.84 billion, down 3.5% over seven days. The HYPE token was priced at $79.28, up 2.33% over 24 hours but down 10.47% over seven days, while its market capitalization stood at $18.98 billion.
The wider crypto market was flat, with total capitalization at $2.62 trillion. 
Bitcoin rose 0.53% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index remained at 25, labelled Extreme Fear. The development matters because it combines a disclosed revenue-allocation mechanism with measurable platform usage, although the single-source figures and differing market trends leave the buyback program’s near-term effect unestablished.
