Hyperliquid’s Explosive 2025 Run Shows DeFi Derivatives Are Scaling Fast – Here Is What the Data Reveals

  • Hyperliquid added over 609,000 users and attracted $3.8B in net inflows during 2025
  • Total trading volume reached $2.9T, with $199B in executed trades
  • The platform ended the year with $4.1B TVL and generated $844M in revenue

Hyperliquid quietly turned 2025 into a breakout year, cementing itself as one of the most active and profitable platforms in decentralized trading. What started as a niche derivatives venue has grown into a major DeFi player, with user growth, volume, and revenue all accelerating at the same time. Data from ASXN highlights just how quickly Hyperliquid has moved from momentum story to core infrastructure.

User Growth and Capital Inflows Drove Expansion

Hyperliquid onboarded more than 609,000 new users throughout 2025, a notable achievement in a year where many DeFi platforms struggled to retain activity. This growth came from both retail traders and larger participants looking for deeper liquidity and faster execution in decentralized markets. As user numbers climbed, capital followed.

Net inflows reached roughly $3.8 billion over the year, signaling sustained confidence in the platform rather than short-lived speculative interest. Those inflows helped reinforce liquidity and positioned Hyperliquid as a serious alternative to centralized derivatives exchanges.

Trading Volume Reached Trillion-Dollar Scale

Activity on the platform scaled rapidly as well. Hyperliquid recorded an eye-catching $2.9 trillion in total trading volume, reflecting how frequently traders are using the platform rather than just parking funds. Within that figure, nearly $199 billion in executed trades highlights consistent participation across market conditions.

This level of throughput is rare in DeFi and suggests Hyperliquid has crossed an important threshold, where infrastructure, liquidity, and user trust all reinforce each other. It also shows that decentralized derivatives are no longer just experimental, they’re becoming operational at scale.

Revenue and TVL Put Hyperliquid Among DeFi Leaders

By year-end, Hyperliquid held around $4.1 billion in total value locked, placing it firmly among the top DeFi platforms. More importantly, the protocol generated approximately $844 million in revenue during 2025, making it one of the most profitable exchanges in the decentralized ecosystem.

That revenue profile stands out in a sector where usage does not always translate into sustainable earnings. Hyperliquid’s numbers suggest a business model that can persist beyond hype cycles, especially as decentralized trading continues to mature.
