Hyperliquid’s first stablecoin vote has drawn bids from Paxos, Frax, Sky, Agora and newcomer Native Markets, with billions in trading volume and stablecoin flows on the line.
One week after opening a contest to decide the issuer of its first native stablecoin, USDH, Hyperliquid is preparing for a validator vote on Sunday to select the winner in what has quickly become one of the industry’s most closely watched community decisions.
Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange for perpetual futures that launched its own layer-1 in November 2024, handled $330 billion in trading volume in July with a team of 11 people. USDH will serve as the platform’s first dollar-pegged asset, providing traders with a stable unit of account and collateral option within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
The vote will decide which company controls the exchange’s canonical stablecoin and gains access to billions in stablecoin flows.
