How Kinetiq's HYPE LST Will Supercharge Hyperliquid DeFi
kHYPE is expected to unlock yield, liquidity, and composability for HYPE holders

Over 416 million HYPE is already staked on Hyperliquid EVM, 41% of the total supply of HYPE.
That’s $8.5 billion of HYPE earning 2.2% APY staking yield in DeFi’s hottest decentralized perps trading platform. But there’s a better way forward… all that staked liquidity could be freed up to use across Hyperliquid DeFi with a reliable LST.
Kinetiq liquid staking is expected to arrive on HyperEVM in just a few weeks! With the kHYPE LST by Kinetiq, builders can create more DeFi-native ways to stay long HYPE, earn yield, and maximize capital efficiency. Borrow against kHYPE, lend kHYPE, LP with kHYPE and more.
In a new episode of The Edge Podcast, we talk with Kinetiq’s cofounder Omnia about launching this long awaited native liquid staking protocol for HYPE and how it could unlock new layers of DeFi activity across the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
