• Institutional interest continues to build, with VanEck saying it participates in Hyperliquid governance and research, and Bitwise previously filing for a spot Hyperliquid ETF.
• Rival Aster briefly topped Hyperliquid’s daily volume on Sept. 21 ($793 million versus $462 million), while latest DefiLlama readings show Hyperliquid at about $639.8 million in 24-hour volume and Aster near $206.7 million.
