Hyperion DeFi Enters Into First HAUS Agreement With Proprietary Trading Firm Credo

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperion DeFi, Inc. (NASDAQ: HYPD) (“Hyperion DeFi” or the “Company”), the first U.S. publicly listed company building a long-term strategic treasury of Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, today announced its first HYPE Asset Use Service (“HAUS”) agreement with proprietary trading firm Credo Cayman (“Credo”). Through this first-of-its-kind on-chain service, Hyperion DeFi provides the use of 100,000 staked HYPE to Credo, enabling the firm to substantially reduce transaction fees when trading on Hyperliquid. The resulting net fee savings will be shared between the two companies, creating a new revenue stream for both. “Hyperion DeFi’s launch of HAUS Credo further demonstrates the Company’s ability to access novel revenue-generating opportunities via the unique decentralized finance primitives only available on Hyperliquid,” said Hyunsu Jung, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Hyperion DeFi. “This deal is a key step in our broader, long-term vision to establish and scale revenues from onboarding more financial activity onto Hyperliquid.” Credo’s team is comprised of experienced traders and technologists with decades of combined expertise in both traditional and digital asset markets. They currently provide liquidity across a wide range of asset classes as part of managing a proprietary trading book. The team has expanded from accessing derivatives on centralized venues, such as Coinbase and Binance, to Hyperliquid, which offers significantly lower fees and comparable trade settlement speeds. About the Hyperliquid Platform and the HYPE Token Hyperliquid is a layer one blockchain (L1) optimized from the ground up 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, like Ethereum, supports permissionless decentralized financial applications. HYPE is the native token of Hyperliquid. Staked HYPE in particular provides utility for users via reduced trading fees and increased referral bonuses. Circulating HYPE is autonomously purchased and sequestered by the blockchain itself with the trading fees generated on the network’s order books. As of September 2025, more than 30 million HYPE has been sequestered by this mechanism, and the token has become the 16th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. About Hyperion DeFi, Inc. Hyperion DeFi, Inc. is the first U.S. publicly listed company building a long-term strategic treasury of Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE. The Company is focused on providing its shareholders with simplified access to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, one of the fastest growing, highest revenue-generating blockchains in the world. Shareholders benefit from a gradually compounding exposure to HYPE, both from its native staking yield and additional revenues generated from its unique on-chain utility. Hyperion DeFi is also developing its proprietary Optejet User Filled Device (UFD) that is designed to work with a variety of topical ophthalmic liquids, including artificial tears and lens rewetting products. The Optejet is especially useful in chronic front-of-the-eye diseases due to its ease of use, enhanced safety and tolerability, and potential for superior compliance versus standard eye drops. Together, these benefits may result in higher treatment compliance and better outcomes for patients and providers. For more information, please visit Hyperiondefi.com.
