Hyperliquid's USDH flywheel is in motion.
This is how to build a stablecoin that's actually load-bearing. One that works as an economic engine for the ecosystem.
HIP-4 cleared 6M+ contracts in 24 hours of launch.
Every single one of them denominated and settled in USDH.
Settlement in USDH → demand for USDH → buybacks → protocol revenue loops back in.
Most protocols treat their stablecoin as a convenience layer. Hyperliquid treats USDH as infrastructure. The base layer every product is built on top of.
Perps. Spot. HIP-4 binary outcome markets. Cross-margin collateral. All of it running through USDH.
The playbook:
• Build the exchange first
• Make your stablecoin the settlement layer for everything
• Every new product = more USDH demand = stronger flywheel
This changes how ecosystems think about their valuations and distribution.(Covalent)
