Hyperion Secures Strategic Funding Round Led by OKX Ventures After Surpassing $100 Million in TVL

Hyperion, a prominent decentralized exchange (DEX) within the Aptos ecosystem, has successfully concluded its strategic funding round. This round was spearheaded by OKX Ventures, with additional contributions from Aptos Labs, Maelstrom (Arthur Hayes’ family office), and Mirana Ventures. The funding round comes on the heels of Hyperion surpassing $100 million in Total Value Locked (TVL), a milestone achieved just a few months after the launch of its mainnet. This rapid growth underscores the platform's strong momentum and market traction.

Hyperion's platform is built on Aptos' high-performance parallel execution engine, which enables it to offer a range of advanced features. These include trade aggregation, Concentrated Liquidity Market Making (CLMM), Dynamic Liquidity Market Making (DLMM), and Vault strategies. These features collectively create a seamless and efficient unified on-chain trading platform, enhancing the overall user experience and operational efficiency.

The funds raised in this round will be strategically allocated to drive protocol adoption, enhance the decentralized trading experience, and accelerate the development of new product features. Among the planned enhancements are the introduction of a Launchpad function and the Token Generation Event (TGE), both scheduled for the third quarter of 2025. These initiatives aim to further develop a unified liquidity and trading layer for the Aptos ecosystem, solidifying Hyperion's position as a leading DEX in the market.

This strategic funding round not only validates Hyperion's technological advancements but also highlights the growing interest and investment in the Aptos ecosystem. The participation of prominent investors such as OKX Ventures and Aptos Labs further underscores the confidence in Hyperion's potential to revolutionize decentralized trading. As Hyperion continues to innovate and expand its offerings, it is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of decentralized finance within the Aptos ecosystem.
