Hyperbeat Lands $5.2M Seed Led by ether.Fi and Electric Capital

Hyperbeat has secured a $5.2 million seed funding round co-led by ether.Fi Ventures and Electric Capital, marking a pivotal step in the development of its yield infrastructure within the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange ecosystem [1]. The investment aims to expand Hyperbeat’s on-chain financial tools and services, which are designed for traders, protocols, and institutions. Additional contributors to the round included Coinbase Ventures, Chapter One, Selini, Maelstrom, Anchorage Digital, and HyperCollective [1].

As the native yield layer for Hyperliquid, Hyperbeat offers a range of financial instruments that allow users to earn, stake, and spend directly from their on-chain portfolios. The platform taps into yield generated from Hyperliquid’s funding rates—previously accessible only to advanced market participants—and distributes it through tokenized vaults. These include beHYPE, a liquid staking token; Hyperbeat Earn, high-yield vaults on HyperEVM; Morphobeat, a credit layer for borrowing against vault positions; and Hyperbeat Pay, an on-chain financial rail alternative [1]. These components aim to deliver a seamless and integrated on-chain financial experience.

The timing of the seed raise coincides with a period of significant growth for Hyperliquid, as the platform’s total value locked (TVL) has surpassed $2.1 billion. This increase in TVL reflects heightened institutional and community interest in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Avichal Garg, a general partner at Electric Capital and co-leader of the round, emphasized that Hyperbeat’s approach is rooted in strong technical execution and deep alignment with the Hyperliquid community. He added that Hyperliquid has “fundamentally shifted trading on-chain,” with Hyperbeat building the next layer of the financial stack [1].

The investment represents a broader trend in the DeFi space toward the development of specialized infrastructure supporting institutional-grade financial tools. As decentralized exchanges evolve, the integration of yield-generating mechanisms becomes increasingly critical. Hyperbeat’s focus on this niche positions it to serve a market that prioritizes innovation and performance [1].

The oversubscription of the round signals strong investor demand for projects aligned with the future of DeFi, offering value through yield optimization and improved liquidity services. With ether.Fi and Electric Capital contributing both capital and strategic insight, Hyperbeat is well-positioned to expand its offerings and reinforce its role within the Hyperliquid ecosystem [1].
