Hyperliquid Captures 80% of DEX Perpetual Futures Trading Volume

Hyperliquid, a layer-1 blockchain, has established itself as a leading player in the decentralized perpetual futures trading market. A prominent crypto analytics firm reports that Hyperliquid now holds nearly 80% of the perpetual futures trading volume within the decentralized exchange (DEX) space. This dominance is largely due to the platform's strategic token listings and exceptional user experience (UX), which have set it apart from its competitors.

Hyperliquid's trading engine, HyperCore, has been instrumental in its success. The fees generated from HyperCore are allocated between the Hyperliquidity Provider (HLP) and the assistance fund. The assistance fund utilizes these fees to repurchase HYPE tokens, with a total of $96 million in HYPE tokens bought back from February to the present. This equates to approximately $1.4 million in daily buybacks, providing the project with significant financial resources.

One of the most impressive aspects of Hyperliquid is its ability to compete with centralized exchanges (CEXs). Over the past three months, the platform has averaged $6.4 billion in daily trading volume, which is just above 50% of the daily trading volumes of major CEXs. This positions Hyperliquid as the only DEX capable of rivaling CEX volumes, underscoring its potential to capture a substantial portion of the perpetuals market.

Analysts forecast that Hyperliquid's growth will continue, potentially allowing it to challenge its CEX counterparts. The platform's dominance in the decentralized perpetuals space is expected to endure, with HyperCore playing a pivotal role in its expansion. As Hyperliquid continues to innovate and attract users with its relevant token listings and superior ux, it is well-positioned to capture an even larger share of the DEX perpetuals volume.
