Hyperliquid has some growing to do before it can take on Binance

Hyperliquid, a new crypto exchange specializing in leveraged memecoin trading, has been capturing market share from its well-established global rivals like Binance. Benefiting from two particular Features , namely copy-trading and leveraged trading contests, it has attracted disproportionate media attention.  At first glance, certain numbers sound impressive. For example, over the past three months, Hyperliquid’s perpetual futures trade volume has grown 74% from $1.9 billion to $3.3 billion.

Image
The last two months have not been kind to any US stock, with geopolitical uncertainty weighing heavily on the market. However, things are expected to turn around as some of the largest companies in the world adjust accordingly. Among them is Apple (AAPL), whose AI shift and tariff relief moves have the stock inching ever closer to the $300 mark. Apple, like all of Wall Street’s mega-cap stocks, has struggled to find any kind of momentum so far this year. It may not have struggled as much as Tesla (TSLA) has, with the EV manufacturer looking to avoid its 10th straight weekly loss, but it has certainly failed to live up to the sky-high expectations it had entering the year.
