DALLAS, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperion DeFi, Inc. (NASDAQ:HYPD) ("Hyperion DeFi" or the "Company") today reiterates that the sunset of USDH and Felix Markets does not change its full-year 2026 guidance of $5 million to $7 million Adjusted Gross Profit, as well as achieving break-even operating cash flows by the end of the year.

Hyperion DeFi's partnership with Native Markets (the team behind the USDH stablecoin) ended on June 3, 2026, with all of the Company's 300,000 HYPE tokens now available to be redeployed into other strategies. In addition, Felix Markets, whose HIP-3 markets are paired against USDH, has announced that it will close its perpetuals exchange by June 22, 2026, with all of Hyperion DeFi's 500,000 HYPE tokens available for use in other strategies by June 29, 2026. None of the Company's other partnerships are materially impacted by the USDH sunset.

"We are grateful for the Native Markets team's early contributions to the success of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, and Felix being a first-mover on USDH-denominated HIP-3 markets," said Hyunsu Jung, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperion DeFi. "We continue to maintain a robust pipeline of client demand across our varied on-chain businesses, and will strategically redeploy the returned HYPE into more profitable strategies and partnerships which will be announced in the near future. Our priority remains the same: create and return the value of Hyperliquid's growth to our shareholders. We will continue to lead in DeFi innovation, using HYPE to establish and scale revenues while onboarding more market participants to this ecosystem."

About the Hyperliquid Platform and the HYPE Token

Hyperliquid is a next-generation layer one blockchain optimized for high frequency, transparent trading. The blockchain includes fully on-chain perpetual futures and spot order books, with every order, cancel, trade, and liquidation occurring within 70 millisecond block times. It also hosts the HyperEVM, a general-purpose smart contract platform that supports permissionless decentralized financial applications akin to Ethereum.

HYPE is the native token of Hyperliquid. Staked HYPE provides utility for users via reduced trading fees and increased referral bonuses.
