CZ on Hyperliquid: “Hyperliquid invention is actually awesome” “I think the Hyperliquid invention is actually awesome. They occupy a niche that Binance cannot compete. They don’t have KYC. They claim they’re decentralized… I would never do what they do, given what I’ve experienced… I assume they have good lawyers.”... show more

I always was curious about semi-centralized perp exchanges, not sure it's going to survive in long run. @cz_binance has Aster which doesn't even try to be decentralized. Too risky.

Healthy competition? That’s not what I’m used to seeing in this market.

Binance used to be non kyc aswell, it works for few years. But then you have to go hard to be compliant, you can even spend 1-2 full years doing just compliance. Good that Hyperliquid is not building in Europe.

CZ: Hyperliquid claims decentralization but small team retains high control On June 18, 2026, Binance founder CZ CZ 🔶 BNB stated during an interview on the Galaxy channel that the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid has validated a new market niche and shown impressive technical innovation, successfully occupying a no-KYC space that Binance cannot compete in. CZ mentioned that Hyperliquid founder Jeff participated in one of the earliest YZi Labs incubation seasons. However, CZ believes the platform is actually heavily controlled by a small team and prefers not to judge their "decentralized" claims. Discussing the historical risks of the no-KYC model, CZ expressed that given his own life experiences, he would never do what they do, but he assumes they are fully capable of handling their own affairs.

CZ: I Went to Prison for Binance's Weak KYC, While Hyperliquid Has No KYC On June 29, 2026, Binance founder CZ CZ 🔶 BNB discussed Hyperliquid in an interview with The Block. He acknowledged its innovations but noted its no-KYC smart contract model fundamentally differs from a centralized exchange. CZ mentioned the protocol is controlled by a small team with closed-source code and significant authority. He believes today's regulatory environment is vastly different, noting he went to prison for Binance's weak KYC, whereas Hyperliquid has no KYC. Although he would strongly oppose Binance adopting a similar model, he hopes Hyperliquid succeeds. If their mechanism is verified as decentralized, it could bring greater freedom to the industry.

CZ: What Would It Take for Aster to Beat Hyperliquid?

Hyperliquid is suited for "open, fully visible trading," while Aster is more open in privacy and native asset deposits, going beyond a BNB Chain-only Perp DEX.He noted both are relatively new, so the future remains uncertain and could shift to new entrants.

CZ on Trump's Push to Bring Hyperliquid to the U.S.: A Win for the Entire Crypto Industry Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) CZ 🔶 BNB said at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium 2026 on August 19 that President Trump had mentioned CFTC Chairman Michael Selig was working to bring Hyperliquid into the U.S. market, potentially opening an important path for decentralized trading services. CZ said that if this model is allowed in the U.S., the benefits would extend beyond Hyperliquid, with more perpetual DEXs and decentralized services likely to follow. International centralized exchanges could also benefit from deeper U.S. liquidity and better execution prices for crypto users.

🚨 WATCH: Genius CEO and co-founder Armaan Kalsi explains why Hyperliquid is winning over institutions. "The reason that Wall Street likes Hyperliquid is that they trade on Hyperliquid. It is like they see an immediate use case for it beyond just I'm sending money. This is a better remittance trail, or this is a better borrowing market. I have a better repayment rate here than I do with a prime brokerage." #CHAINREACTION

The CEO of Real Vision says Hyperliquid is a niche product with no competitive advantage. "If I don't use it, I wouldn't buy it, and I'm just not a trader. I don't use perps; I don't use leverage." "Hyperliquid $HYPE is a great niche product within a broader ecosystem, but it has no real moat around it. Robinhood is going to come after that as fast as they can and eventually Coinbase too" Thoughts?

"Is Hyperliquid taking over Binance?" CZ addresses the ongoing debate around Hyperliquid’s rapid rise and whether decentralized exchanges are threatening Binance’s market dominance: "A lot of people in crypto believe that Binance sees Hyperliquid as its first real competitor and that some of your public comments have been attempts to slow their momentum. What would you say to those people?" "No, they were wrong. I encourage way more crypto exchanges to innovate, and we view exchanges as helping to grow the pie." "Right now, the market is nowhere near saturated. Penetration-wise, there may be 5 to 15% of people who have some kind of crypto." "Net worth-wise, a very small percentage. Value-wise, we're probably like less than 1% penetration." "In this type of early stage, you want as many players as possible so that we can grow the industry."

To him, a fully decentralized project with this level of OPSEC is incredibly rare - yet it remains the ultimate benchmark for trustless infrastructure, and a north star for builders tomorrow.

“Hyperliquid fails if the liquidity leaves.” Because that might be the most important sentence in the entire $hype thesis. Let's forget $319 for a second. Forget $100. Forget whether $80 is cheap. The entire game is liquidity. If traders, market makers, and capital keep choosing Hyperliquid, the machine compounds. If they leave, the story breaks. And that’s why something strange is happening. Grayscale is no longer framing Hyperliquid as just another DEX. The comparison is now Binance. OKX. Bybit. The incumbents. Because Hyperliquid isn’t just fighting for DEX volume anymore. It’s fighting for the liquidity that makes an exchange matter. And the numbers are getting harder to ignore. Hyperliquid’s total OI reached $14.3B. HIP-3 went from ~18% of total OI in March to more than 34% in August before cooling back down. Then look at what happened with USDC. Coinbase became Hyperliquid’s official USDC treasury deployer. Circle handles the technical deployment. And the new AQAv2 structure can route up to ~90% of reserve yield back toward the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Maybe read that again. The financial plumbing around the liquidity is starting to plug into the protocol itself. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid keeps expanding the surface area: perps. equities. commodities. RWAs. prediction markets. options. Multicoin’s $319 thesis assumes Hyperliquid can turn that expansion into roughly $8B of annual earnings by 2028. But here’s the part nobody gets to escape: The token supply is growing too. So Hyperliquid doesn’t win because volume goes up. It wins if earnings compound faster than supply. That’s the knife edge. and suddenly the $319 target doesn’t look like the story anymore. Liquidity is. Because if Hyperliquid becomes where capital wants to trade, settle and discover price… $80 could look absurdly cheap in hindsight. But if someone builds a better venue and the liquidity migrates? $319 becomes irrelevant. That’s the real HYPE trade. not “will HYPE hit $100?” not “can it hit $319?” can Hyperliquid become so deeply embedded in global liquidity that leaving becomes harder than staying? because if the answer is yes… we aren’t watching a DEX win. we’re watching an exchange become infrastructure.

Threadguy explains why if you've never used Hyperliquid it's easy to be bearish on it and compares it to the Solana mistake from last cycle "If you never used Solana in 2024 you could have easily convinced yourself to be bullish on some other performance chain. Avax, whatever, they all did terrible. Solana mogged all of them. From the same lens, if you've never used Hyperliquid, it would be very easy to convince yourself that Coinbase or Robinhood is just gonna eat their lunch or that the product isn't that good or it's niche. It's very easy to make the same mistake if you've never used it as you could have made if you never used Solana in '24." "After using Hyperliquid every day for a year, I open up a brokerage account and try to trade on Robinhood and I'm like what the fuck is this? This is terrible. It's a product game. Robinhood won retail options because the product was so good, so smooth, so easy to use. I get on Hyperliquid for a month and Robinhood feels like garbage compared to it." "Think about how much money exists offshore that can't trade US equities that can now trade US equities on Hyperliquid. The only way you look at this price action and say all crypto sucks, this is a fake pump, is if you've never used the product."

CZ: If I Could Do It Again, I'd Block U.S. Users From Day One Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) CZ 🔶 BNB reflected in a May 9, 2026 interview with Crypto In America that if he could do it again, he would block U.S. users and set up geo-fencing from day one, while investing earlier in KYC and compliance. He said Binance was only a roughly 20-person team with very few users in 2017, and he viewed it more as a technology platform than a financial platform at the time. CZ said many of the later problems could have been avoided at the source if those steps had been taken from the beginning.
