TREE NEWS update: AQAv2’s treasury wallet made its first payment to Hyperliquid on Oct. 4, paying $14.58 million for the platform’s USDC reserves held over the past 30 days, with the funds directed to the assistance fund to buy HYPE. The payment marks a new revenue stream for Hyperliquid, which now earns from user deposits regardless of trading activity. From Jan. 1 to Sep. 30, Hyperliquid’s perpetual trading volume reached $2 trillion, protocol fee revenue hit $493.3 million, and open interest rose from $7.72 billion to $16.4 billion.

The notable shift is that Hyperliquid is monetizing idle stablecoin reserves, not just trading flow, which makes protocol revenue less dependent on market activity and volume cycles. That matters for how the platform's economics are valued relative to exchanges that live or die by fees. The open question is whether reserve-based payments scale as deposits grow, or remain a marginal add-on to a business still dominated by perpetuals fees.
