- 17:37Messari: Hyperliquid Volume Up More Than 4X Since Last OctoberAccording to Messari, Hyperliquid's monthly volume has grown more than 4x since October 2024, demonstrating the platform's rapid rise in the decentralised trading market. Hyperliquid has cultivated a high-value, consistently active trading user base, making it the only Layer 1 alternative on the market with a clear core user base. Its growth drivers include the introduction of new assets such as BTC in the spot market to expand the trading ecosystem and compete with CEX; HyperEVM's support for more third-party DeFi applications to increase the diversity of the on-chain ecosystem; and the structural accumulation of value through the reinvestment of transaction revenue in the HYPE token by the Assistance Fund (AF), a mechanism rarely found in most DeFi protocols.

The market is still in a ‘pure player takeover’ (PvP) phase, and venture capital has yet to come in on a large scale. Dan Matuszewski of CMS Holdings agrees, pointing out that the effects of the 2022 bear market are still being felt, and that there is a fundamental lack of liquidity in the market, which is preventing substantial inflows, which have yet to come in on a large scale, with the exception of a ‘select few’. The debate about whether or not the top has been reached will intensify. But regardless of the position in the cycle, we need to recognise that the new regulator is just getting started and its policies could be a catalyst for the future.
