Hyperliquid Receives $14.58 Million USDC Reserve Yield Payment for HYPE Buybacks
Hyperliquid has received its first $14.58 million USDC payment under the platform's AQAv2 reserve yield framework, providing another source of funding for HYPE token buybacks beyond revenue generated from trading fees, according to BSCN.
USDC Reserve Yield Supports HYPE Buybacks
The payment marks the first distribution to Hyperliquid under the reserve yield mechanism and covers a 30-day period. The framework directs a portion of the yield generated from USDC reserves to the protocol.
Under the arrangement, around 90% of cost-adjusted reserve yield from USDC supply is shared with Hyperliquid. The portion allocated to the protocol is routed to the Assistance Fund, which uses the funds to purchase HYPE.
Additional Funding Source for HYPE
The reserve yield payment gives Hyperliquid an additional funding source for HYPE buybacks alongside revenue generated from trading fees. The $14.58 million first payment therefore represents the initial amount received through the AQAv2 reserve yield framework.
The mechanism connects USDC reserve yield with the protocol's Assistance Fund, allowing the allocated portion of the yield to be used for HYPE purchases. BSCN reported that the first payment covered 30 days under the reserve yield mechanism.
With around 90% of cost-adjusted reserve yield from USDC supply shared with the protocol, the $14.58 million payment establishes the first reported distribution through Hyperliquid's AQAv2 framework.
