They explain why they believe Hyperliquid is the most compelling project in crypto today, why they launched a DAT to give U.S. investors access to HYPE, and how the deal structure differs from typical crypto equity vehicles. Diamond and Schamis also walk through Hyperliquid’s performance during the 10/10 market chaos, the strength of its perps engine, what HIP-3 unlocks for builders, and why they think the opportunity ahead is far larger than crypto trading alone.
