Hyperbeat Products Are Driving On-Chain Financial Innovation
The protocol functions as the native yield layer for Hyperliquid, offering a suite of products designed to make sophisticated on-chain financial strategies accessible to both retail and institutional participants. Core offerings include beHYPE, a liquid staking token; Hyperbeat Earn, high-yield vaults on HyperEVM; Morphobeat, a credit layer enabling borrowing against vault positions; and Hyperbeat Pay, a decentralized alternative to traditional banking rails. Hyperfolio, Hyperbeat’s portfolio tracker, integrates all of these tools, allowing users to seamlessly earn, stake, and spend directly from their on-chain assets.
Institutional Interest Surges as Hyperliquid TVL Tops $2.1B
The timing of the seed raise coincides with Hyperliquid surpassing $2.1 billion in total value locked (TVL), reflecting growing institutional engagement. Avichal Garg, general partner at Electric Capital, emphasized Hyperbeat’s technical execution and alignment with the Hyperliquid ecosystem. According to Garg, Hyperbeat is building the next layer of on-chain financial infrastructure, enabling liquid staking, isolated lending, strategy vaults, and fully integrated portfolio management for traders and institutions alike.
The oversubscribed round highlights investor confidence in DeFi infrastructure that combines institutional-grade tools with user-friendly, intuitive interfaces. Hyperbeat aims to unlock yield generation previously limited to advanced market participants and package it into tokenized vaults that simplify participation and enhance overall capital efficiency. This positions the protocol to strengthen Hyperliquid’s financial ecosystem while supporting growth across retail and institutional segments.
With strategic guidance and capital from ether.Fi and Electric Capital, Hyperbeat is preparing to expand its offerings and reinforce its role as a key layer in decentralized financial markets. The protocol’s comprehensive approach to yield infrastructure underscores a growing trend in DeFi toward accessible, high-performance financial tools that meet both professional and community demands.
