Circle Teams Up with Hyperliquid to Supercharge USDC Expansion Across DeFi
Circle just turbocharged USDC's DeFi ambitions—partnering with Hyperliquid to push deeper into on-chain finance. This isn't just another integration; it's a strategic thrust into perpetual swaps, lending, and leveraged trading with one of the fastest L1s in crypto.
Why Hyperliquid? Speed and scalability. The platform’s high-throughput infrastructure lets traders execute complex strategies without gas wars or network congestion—something Ethereum maxis are still praying for.
More liquidity, fewer barriers. The partnership aims to funnel institutional and retail capital into decentralized markets, making USDC the go-to stablecoin for serious DeFi players. No more USDT dominance? We’ll see.
Circle’s playing the long game. While TradFi banks are still debating whether to allow wire transfers on weekends, stablecoins are eating their lunch—one blockchain settlement at a time.
Circle and Hyperliquid Partner Up
Hyperliquid has been in the headlines lately, hitting an all-time high as its proposed USDH stablecoin led to new governance structures. Today, however, Hyperliquid is involved with a totally different stablecoin, as it conducted a major USDC expansion with Circle:

Jeremy Allaire, co-founder and CEO of Circle, spoke extensively about the details of this Hyperliquid expansion.
He claimed that this partnership is a “major milestone,” officially launching native USDC and CCTP V2 on HyperEVM. This will integrate the firm’s technical achievements with Hyperliquid’s dedicated user base.
Future Plans For Collaboration
Circle is also investing in HYPE, directly becoming a Hyperliquid stakeholder, and the firm is even considering becoming a system validator. Allaire spoke about Hyperliquid’s own team in glowing terms, suggesting that this is the groundwork for a long-term partnership.
Circle’s stablecoin has a lot to bring to Hyperliquid, not counting its technical capabilities. Allaire pointed out that the firm has minted well over 1 trillion USDC tokens in its history, having recently issued a huge reserve.
In other words, there is a gargantuan reserve of liquidity that Hyperliquid traders can access.
The stablecoin issuer, for its part, can ensure that it remains highly relevant in a dynamic Web3 ecosystem. Circle has planned several measures to integrate with Hyperliquid’s community, creating several tools and incentives to work with the blockchain’s developers.
In short, this partnership can be mutually beneficial for both firms and the broader industry. Circle is still the second-largest stablecoin company, but this Hyperliquid deal shows its commitment to being an industry leader.
