Hyperion DeFi (Nasdaq: HYPD), the Nasdaq-listed DeFi company focused on the Hyperliquid ecosystem, reported record second-quarter net income of $31 million, more than triple the $8.8 million it earned in Q1 2026. The results, released on August 12, mark the second consecutive quarter in which Hyperion has set a new profit record.
The company held 2.04 million HYPE tokens as of June 30, with gross holdings valued at approximately $133 million, up from $71 million at the end of Q1. The sharp rise reflects both additional token accumulation and a higher HYPE price during the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $53.7 million, up from $19.5 million in the prior period, driven primarily by $54.8 million in treasury gains. Staking yield contributed $527,000 for the quarter, a 69% increase, while yield-enhancement activities added a further $334,000, up 58%.
Hyperion describes its approach as a "Triple-Dip" strategy, combining a growing HYPE treasury, scalable DeFi businesses, and embedded economic upside in early-stage Hyperliquid builders. From Q3 2025 to Q2 2026, the company's adjusted gross profit grew 162%, while operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation fell 46%.
Alongside the earnings release, Hyperion announced a HYPE Asset Use Service (HAUS) agreement with Entropy, an upcoming HIP-3 deployer, committing 500,000 staked HYPE tokens to the partnership. The company also confirmed a separate 500,000 HYPE commitment to Skew Technologies, which is building institutional perpetual futures markets and outcome-based products using Hyperliquid's HIP-3 and HIP-4 infrastructure. Under the Skew agreement, Hyperion receives equity in the company as well as a share of listing-service revenues. Skew's private beta had already attracted more than 40,000 unique sign-ups as of August 10.
The dual partnerships give Hyperion exposure to both HYPE price appreciation and on-chain network activity, consistent with its stated goal of building multiple revenue streams within the Hyperliquid ecosystem. The company reiterated full-year 2026 adjusted gross profit guidance of $5 million to $7 million, roughly five times 2025 levels, and said it expects operating cash flow to turn positive before year-end.
