🤝iHYPE: For Institutions
What is iHYPE?
iHYPE (“Kinetiq-staked HYPE for Institutions”) is Kinetiq’s institution-only liquid staking pool for HYPE, purpose-built for KYB/KYC-compliant entities. It delivers the same yield-earning benefits as kHYPE but with added controls, privacy, and infrastructure tailored to institutional needs.
Key Features
Private, Risk-Isolated Pool – iHYPE operates separately from public staking pools, ensuring dedicated validator delegation and isolation from retail flows.
Custom Validator Control – Institutions can designate their own validator(s) for enhanced governance, compliance, or performance preferences.
Custom LST Tickers – Deploy under your own branded ticker (e.g., imHYPE) while retaining all core staking benefits.
Regulated Infrastructure – Built on enterprise-grade staking rails with operational standards to meet institutional compliance requirements.
How It Works
Deposit HYPE into the iHYPE contract (requires institutional onboarding).
Receive your institution’s branded LST (Liquid Staking Token).
Earn staking yield automatically—redeemable for HYPE at the current exchange rate.
What Institutions Are Currently Using iHYPE?
The first institution to stake through iHYPE is Hyperion DeFi, Inc., a U.S. NASDAQ-publicly listed company building a long-term strategic treasury of HYPE. Hyperion DeFi stakes directly via Kinetiq’s compliant liquid staking infrastructure, operating under a dedicated validator and custom ticker.
Their adoption of iHYPE sets a precedent for how regulated entities can securely and transparently participate in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, benefiting from staking yields while maintaining full compliance, all via Kinetiq.
