Hyperliquid founder: If Satoshi had taken venture capital back then, I would say it would not have been Bitcoin. Hyperliquid founder Jeff tackles one of crypto's most sensitive issues: how VCs amass massive token positions on public markets. He says this shakes the principle of protocol neutrality. The issue isn't who holds tokens, but the purity of a project's origins. Even amid competition, teams should honor Satoshi's ideal: neutral protocols with no "tainted genesis." Source：

Hyperliquid Founder: Why We Turned Down All Venture Capital? Jeff said Hyperliquid has been entirely self-funded and was not created for profit. He criticized traditional VC financing for creating an "illusion of progress" by inflating valuations, stressing that true progress comes when users gain real value. Hyperliquid's vision, he added, is to redefine finance and let the community—not capital—be the ultimate beneficiary. Source:

Hyperliquid founder Jeff: The real risk isn't a black swan,it's marginalization. Jeff Yan stated in an interview at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025 on October 14th, Hyperliquid worries more about a "slow decline" than a black swan event. If Hyperliquid fails,it will likely not be because of the protocol itself,but because it didn't create something valuable for the world. He added that DeFi still has a long road ahead: it should reduce reliance on off chain assumptions (such as price or asset backing) and refocus on on chain consistency and long term building. Whether the existing financial system will ultimately take it seriously remains to be seen. Source：

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.

Jeff Yan: Why Hyperliquid Stays Lean Jeff Yan jeff.hl, founder of Hyperliquid, explains that the core team remains strictly technical to strip away corporate bureaucracy. He argues that Labs should not interfere in areas the community is capable of building, as market-driven outcomes are far superior to top-down mandates. By keeping core financial primitives fully open, the protocol aims to attract top-tier builders to co-develop the ecosystem on top of its infrastructure.

"Basically the impetus for going all in and building Hyperliquid was when FTX collapsed. It felt like suddenly the previously very academic concerns in crypto around decentralization and self custody... were very viscerally important."

And we thought the world was ready to really trade crypto in the way it's meant to be, which is peer-to-peer in a self-custodial, decentralized place." $HYPE CEO jeff.hl on founding Hyperliquid:

Jeff Yan: The "get-rich-quick" culture has overshadowed Web3's true potential On February 19, Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan said in an interview with the When Shift Happens channel that there is a disconnect in the crypto industry between its vision and its builders. Many talented individuals are discouraged by the industry's negative reputation, leaving Web3 filled with participants seeking quick profits rather than long-term product development. He believes this has obscured the industry's true potential. To change this, he argued that projects should follow Hyperliquid's approach-ignoring trends and building what they truly believe is right. By leading through example and staying grounded, they can attract more builders into DeFi and the broader crypto ecosystem. Source：

We asked Flood about his dynamic relationship with Arthur Hayes on Hyperliquid. "People fundamentally misprice Hyperliquid and Arthur is one of the people who actually has the best pricing and probably the most edge" 🦣 "The global perpetual swap market is anywhere from $20-30 billion in revenue a year, and Binance conservatively makes $10 billion a year in revenue." "Hyperliquid does about one-sixth to one-tenth the volume that Binance does on perps—if Hyperliquid is making a billion a year, that puts Binance at conservatively $10 billion annually just from perps."

Hyperliquid treats $HYPE like equity. Protocol incentives are directly aligned with the community. That kind of alignment is extremely rare in crypto and it’s one of the reasons why Hyperliquid has a cult-like following.

Jeff Yan: Crypto's biggest problem is the lack of top entrepreneurial talent On July 9, 2026, Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan jeff.hl stated in an interview on the VALR podcast that a fair criticism of the current crypto and fintech sectors is their inability to attract enough of the highest quality entrepreneurial talent. He believes that amidst the AI boom and the social pressure to pursue prestige, the smartest young people often do not know what they could do to make the most impact, resulting in very few choosing to enter the space. Jeff Yan expressed that rebuilding financial engineering from the ground up based on first principles and translating academic concepts into scalable market designs is an incredible undertaking. He urged the younger generation not to take things at surface value, but to identify the real problems the world faces and participate in the incredible renaissance of on-chain finance happening right now.

Michael Saylor Explains Why He May Sell Bitcoin Strategy founder Michael Saylor Michael Saylor said in a May 9 interview with Bonnie Blockchain that if the company needs to sell a small amount of Bitcoin, it would be to realize capital gains and pay STRC credit dividends. He compared the model to real estate development: raising capital through credit instruments, buying an asset, and later monetizing it through a sale or refinancing after it appreciates. Responding to Peter Schiff's "Ponzi scheme" criticism, Saylor said the more accurate principle is to "never be a net seller of Bitcoin." At this stage, even if Strategy sells 1 Bitcoin, it would buy 10 to 20 at the same time.
