Hyperion DeFi surged 10.06% in premarket trading following the announcement of Hyunsu Jung's appointment as CEO and the strengthening of its leadership team. Jung, previously Chief Investment Officer with experience in digital asset strategies at DARMA Capital, emphasized the company’s focus on expanding its Hyperliquid-native DeFi operations and monetizing on-chain growth. The board highlighted his leadership and operational expertise as critical to executing 2026 strategic priorities. Additionally, the appointment of David Knox as CFO and Robert Rubenstein as General Counsel—both with deep capital markets and legal experience—reinforced investor confidence in the company’s governance and strategic execution.
