#82 - Hyperliquid Trading and the Rise of DeFi Perpetuals Trillion-Dollar On-Chain Volume in 2025
Season 1 Episode 82
Hyperliquid has emerged as one of the most disruptive forces in crypto trading, redefining what decentralized finance can achieve at scale. In this episode, we explore how DeFi perpetuals have evolved from niche instruments into a dominant trading primitive, with Hyperliquid trading volumes reaching the trillion-dollar mark on-chain in 2025. Unlike traditional decentralized exchanges, Hyperliquid delivers a CEX-like experience—deep liquidity, ultra-low latency, and professional-grade tooling—while remaining fully on-chain and non-custodial. We analyze how this model challenges centralized exchanges on execution quality, transparency, and capital efficiency. From whale-level traders to algorithmic strategies, Hyperliquid is reshaping market structure and proving that decentralized futures can outperform legacy systems. This episode breaks down the technology, the economics, and the broader implications for DeFi as capital migrates away from custodial platforms toward trust-minimized trading infrastructure.
