Circle Supercharges Hyperliquid with Native USDC Integration, Backs HYPE with Strategic Investment

Circle just dropped a bombshell—native USDC lands on Hyperliquid's perpetuals platform, backed by a direct investment in HYPE.

Game-Changer for DeFi Traders

No more wrapped assets or bridge risks. Traders get direct access to the world's most trusted stablecoin with instant settlement and deep liquidity. This cuts through the typical DeFi friction like a hot knife through butter.

Strategic Capital Move

Circle's investment in HYPE signals more than just technical integration—it's a bet on Hyperliquid's architecture dominating the perpetual futures landscape. Because nothing says conviction like putting real money where your API is.

Final Thought

While traditional finance still debates stablecoin regulation, Circle keeps building—proving once again that in crypto, execution beats deliberation every time. Sometimes the best regulatory strategy is to make your product indispensable before the suits even know what hit them.

Strategic Investment and Community Engagement

The company has confirmed its first investment in HYPE tokens. This investment is described as a “mutual win-win” and is the start of a broader program to work with the community.

Circle also plans to launch dedicated incentive programs for developers building on HIP-3 and HyperEVM. 

Circle is also evaluating the possibility of becoming a Hyperliquid Validator. Circle has stated that its public SDKs and APIs are ready for developers who want to build with USDC support on Hyperliquid. The move is positioned to benefit both Hyperliquid’s growing user base and Circle’s mission to expand the utility of USDC.

Users can now access native USDC on HyperEVM, and the integration has already begun. Hyperswap is one the the first projects to let its users trade using USDC and provide liquidity on HyperEVM chain. The collaboration is positioned to benefit both Hyperliquid’s growing user base and Circle’s mission to expand the utility and adoption of USDC.
