Hyperion DeFi has entered a new agreement with Skew Technologies to support institutional activity on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 permissionless markets. The Nasdaq-listed company will deploy 500,000 HYPE tokens under the arrangement to support the launch of institutional perpetual futures markets.
The agreement also gives Hyperion DeFi an equity stake in Skew and a share of listing-service revenue generated through the platform. The initiative forms part of the company’s effort to expand the utility of its HYPE treasury assets while supporting institutional participation within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Hyperion DeFi has signed a HYPE Asset Use Service (HAUS) agreement with Skew Technologies to deploy 500,000 HYPE in support of a new suite of institutional perpetual futures products on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 permissionless markets. The agreement establishes a facility that enables Skew and other qualified partners to launch custom perpetual futures markets using Hyperliquid’s infrastructure.

The company said the revenue-sharing model includes both fixed and scaling components that are independent of trading volumes. The arrangement also expands the company’s revenue-generation strategies tied to its staked HYPE treasury assets.
The agreement is intended to help institutional participants launch custom markets while relying on specialized infrastructure and operational support. Hyunsu Jung, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperion DeFi, said the company continued to receive demand from teams across different regions seeking to launch and distribute new markets using Hyperliquid’s infrastructure while evaluating opportunities around HIP-3.
“We wanted to continue to complement our larger roadmap to develop a broad array of products and services optimized for institutional clients,” Jung said. He added that the facility enables institutional clients to focus on their products and distribution while Skew manages market operations.
Skew Technologies will develop and operate the institutional listing service supported by the bonded HYPE deployed under the agreement. David Gil, founder of Skew, said the company sees an opportunity to introduce a new class of markets to Hyperliquid through products launched directly and alongside partners.
He said support from Hyperion DeFi provides the infrastructure and long-term alignment needed to develop new market categories while expanding the range of products available on Hyperliquid. Skew’s initial roadmap focuses on HIP-3 perpetual futures markets. The company also plans to support outcome-based markets through the HIP-4 framework as that infrastructure matures.
HIP-3 allows developers to launch custom perpetual futures markets by posting HYPE as bonded capital, creating an additional use case for the token beyond staking. Hyperliquid is a layer-1 blockchain designed for perpetual futures trading. The network features fully on-chain perpetual futures and spot order books while HyperEVM supports permissionless decentralized finance applications.
Demand for HIP-3 markets has increased as more developers and institutions look to introduce trading products without building an entirely new trading venue. Recent activity has seen HIP-3 markets account for nearly half of Hyperliquid’s daily perpetual futures trading volume after representing about 2% at the beginning of the year.
The agreement adds another commercial arrangement linked to Hyperion DeFi’s HYPE treasury while supporting institutional market infrastructure on Hyperliquid. The deployment of 500,000 HYPE represents roughly one-quarter of the company’s reported holdings of two million HYPE tokens. At the time of the announcement, the deployed assets were valued at about $33.6 million.

The company said the agreement supports its differentiated revenue-generation strategy built around the utility of its staked HYPE treasury assets. While the arrangement creates additional commercial opportunities, future outcomes will depend on institutional adoption, the continued development of HIP-3 markets, and execution by the participating companies.
Hyperion DeFi has outlined a new agreement that combines treasury asset deployment with institutional market infrastructure on Hyperliquid. The company will deploy 500,000 HYPE through the HAUS agreement while receiving equity participation in Skew and a share of listing-service revenues that include fixed and scaling components independent of trading volumes.
Skew will initially focus on HIP-3 perpetual futures markets while maintaining plans to expand into outcome-based markets through HIP-4 as the supporting infrastructure develops. Hyperion DeFi said the initiative aligns with its broader objective of supporting institutional clients while expanding the utility of its HYPE treasury assets.
