iHYPE represents the inaugural institutionally-oriented liquid staking offering within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
NEW YORK, June 19, 2025 — Kinetiq (the “Company”) has unveiled the creation of iHYPE, a specialized institutional liquid staking product crafted to address the surging institutional demand for HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid blockchain.
Kinetiq is collaborating with IMC Trading, Flowdesk, and one of the largest Qualified Custodians (QC) in the crypto sector. This initiative is further supported by several institutional-grade validators, aiming to guarantee that any firm can acquire HYPE (staked through Kinetiq) in a fully compliant manner – encompassing acquisition, custody, staking, and validator delegation.
The introduction of iHYPE marks a notable enhancement to Kinetiq’s liquid staking portfolio. It is designed to offer institutional investors compliant, enterprise-grade access to Hyperliquid’s native staking yields and network participation, thereby eliminating the need for direct engagement in secondary token markets.
Addressing Market Demand
Kinetiq has observed considerable interest from funds and allocators seeking secure, auditable, and institution-friendly infrastructure to engage with Hyperliquid’s remarkable expansion. iHYPE serves as Kinetiq’s solution to this requirement, offering institutions a compliant entry point into Hyperliquid as it heralds a new era of fully onchain, global finance.
“Flowdesk is pleased to back Kinetiq as a committed trading partner for iHYPE from its launch. Providing compliant access for clients is a crucial stage as they expand their institutional-centric Hyperliquid product line,” stated Hanson Birringer, Head of US Sales at Flowdesk.
Hyperliquid’s technical prowess encompasses fully onchain order books for both perpetual futures and spot markets, featuring a throughput exceeding 200,000 transactions per second. This has drawn the interest of allocators across both digital asset and traditional financial markets. iHYPE is being developed to eliminate obstacles hindering institutional capital from accessing this ecosystem.
iHYPE is presently subject to security audits, compliance evaluations, and operational integrations prior to its general availability.
Through iHYPE, Kinetiq aims to provide a staking solution that adheres to the benchmarks set by professional asset managers, while simultaneously maintaining the core principles and spirit of Hyperliquid.
