Pumped to back @tenbinlabs. Congrats @ballsyalchemist and team
Tenbin is excited to announce a $7.1M seed round led by @galaxyhq to tackle the broken tokenization space of today.

You're being played by people who want regulatory capture.
They are scaring everyone with dubious studies so that open source models are regulated out of existence.
Pumped to back @liquidtrading. @frank_liquid and team are cracked. Mobile UI is buttery and more good stuff in the oven. Perpetuals on everything.
Congrats to the @kinetiq_xyz team. Leading liquid staking provider on Hyperliquid. Team has been locked in and was early to the HL eco. Pumped to be an angel investor. Excited to see where they go from here.
Towards the end of 2024, after bootstrapping for several months, @kinetiq_xyz raised $1.75m solely from investors deeply present in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Core Contributors and Investors will be locked for a total of 3 years (1 year cliff, 2 year monthly linear vest)

BREAKING: US approves Erebor, a new bank from @PalmerLuckey and @JTLonsdale
This is the fastest conditional approval for a depository institution de novo application in 25 years.
Congrats @manud_p and @vnovakovski on the launch!
Strongly support this proposal
Provides more clarity: Fixes a broken FDV metric that is incorrect / artificially high by ~2x based on max supply (confusing and scaring off potential buyers)
No functional change or downside: HYPE can still issue the same tokens it otherwise would (but do so at the time those are needed rather than having them sit locked/unused but confusing the FDV calc)
Thrilled to back @santiagoroel and the @inversion_cap team bringing real GDP onchain.
Santi is a rare individual where I would auto request my max check size in anything he's building

100 of the sharpest minds in crypto just placed the same bet.
We assembled a handpicked coalition of elite builders, traders, and power users to back the breakout consumer app our industry has been waiting for.
What Robinhood did for tradfi, Euphoria will do for crypto.

Hyperdrive is proud to announce our $6M Series A led by @hack_vc and @Arrington_Cap — building the final layer of stablecoin yield infrastructure needed.
Launching 5/27 🧵
Cash flow to equityholders is a better stat to compare
Hyperliquid distributes significantly more of its revenue to holders than Robinhood
97% of Hyperliquid's revenue is used to buyback HYPE tokens.
55% of Robinhood's revenue goes to operating expenses. Also negative free cash flow of ~$200M in 2024.
HYPE daily revenue avg last 30 days = $1.25M x 365 = $456M annual rev * 97% = $443M cashflow to HYPE buyback.
HYPE MC to buybacks = 11.5x ($5.1B / $443M)
HOOD Enterprise Value to EBITDA = 25x ($35B / $1.4B)
Would you rather own $HYPE or $HOOD?
@RobinhoodApp: $38b MC, $4b run rate revs, $157b monthly trading volume
@HyperliquidX : $4.5b MC, $242m run rate revs (up from $0 in <1 year), $170b monthly trading volume.
Both up 24% in the last 24 hours.
