Background
Hyperliquid, as a leading decentralized perpetual futures platform, recently announced the launch of its native stablecoin USDH, with issuance rights opened to external teams through a competitive bidding process. This move quickly sparked market attention, with participants including Paxos, Frax, Sky (formerly MakerDAO), Ethena, Agora, and Native Markets. At the same time, Circle announced that it would directly issue native USDC on Hyperliquid in response to the challenge.
Overview of Hyperliquid’s Stablecoin Market
Until now, Hyperliquid’s stablecoin market has been dominated by Circle’s USDC, which serves as the network’s primary margin, collateral, and settlement currency. With Hyperliquid holding a USDC balance of $5.5 billion, generating more than $200 million in annual external revenue for Circle, the USDH ticker represents an opportunity for Hyperliquid to reclaim this value for its own network.
Why does Hyperliquid want to issue its own stablecoin?
- Revenue leakage: USDC on Hyperliquid accounts for 8% of Circle’s total supply, generating $200M in annual revenue for Circle, half of which goes to Coinbase. In effect, Hyperliquid is subsidizing its…

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be
The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
