Expert Statements
Hyunsu Jung, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperion DeFi
“Today marks a key step towards expanding access to onchain liquidity for real-world assets on Hyperliquid”
Hyunsu Jung, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperion DeFi
“It starts with creating this secured, white-listed credit facility backed by natively staked HYPE tokens held in qualified custody. From this foundation, the roadmap is to scale as assets continue to move onchain, supporting users with enterprise-grade infrastructure built alongside our partners.”
Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder at Anchorage Digital
“Institutions have wanted access to onchain credit, but not at the expense of the safeguards they rely on. This facility shows those two things don't have to be traded off. Collateral stays natively staked in qualified custody, and through Atlas it can be pledged, released, and monitored around the clock.”
Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder at Anchorage Digital
“That is the kind of infrastructure that lets institutional capital participate in the Hyperliquid ecosystem with confidence.”
Benjamin Sever, CEO and Co-Founder at HyperLend
“150 million HYPE is staked with validators outside of Hyperliquid Labs and the Foundation, representing over $10 billion in assets earning staking yield, but unable to work simultaneously as collateral”
Benjamin Sever, CEO and Co-Founder at HyperLend
“Today, Aviya unlocks this capital, providing institutions that require qualified custody of their assets to access credit onchain without leaving custody. Starting with HYPE and its staked derivatives, Aviya will continue to add more collateral types as demand grows.”
Benjamin Sever, CEO and Co-Founder at HyperLend
“The magnitude and velocity of capital on Hyperliquid is accelerating, and Aviya is positioned to lead institutional fixed-rate borrowing and lending of digital and real-world assets on Hyperliquid.”
