LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperion DeFi, Inc. (NASDAQ: HYPD) (“Hyperion DeFi” or the “Company”), today announced that it will host a special corporate update event on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET with CIO Hyunsu Jung and CEO Michael Rowe, to discuss the Company's bold transformation from a digital ophthalmic tech company into the first publicly-listed U.S. firm focused on building a strategic treasury around HYPE, the native token of the high-performance Hyperliquid blockchain.

The event will provide a first look at how Hyperion DeFi is using blockchain-native assets like HYPE to build scalable, yield-generating products and support the growth of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, blending the benefits of a regulated public company with opportunities only available through decentralized finance.

Featured topics will include:

  • The reasoning behind the move from biopharmaceutical research to decentralized finance.
  • Why Hyperion DeFi believes Hyperliquid is the future of decentralized finance.
  • How Hyperion DeFi accumulated over 1.4 million HYPE tokens and launched a co-branded validator with Kinetiq to generate yield and help secure the Hyperliquid network.
  • The investment thesis behind using a crypto treasury model to drive long-term shareholder value, providing retail and institutional investors secure, custodied exposure to various on-chain strategies.
  • How the strategy creates compounding value through staking revenues, ecosystem engagement, and development of proprietary financial products while continuing work towards the completion of the development and sale of the Optejet device.

A live question and answer session will follow the formal presentations.

About the Hyperliquid Platform and the HYPE Token
Hyperliquid is a layer one blockchain (L1) optimized from the ground up for high frequency, transparent trading. The blockchain includes fully onchain perpetual futures and spot order books, with every order, cancel, trade, and liquidation occurring within 70 millisecond block times. It also hosts the HyperEVM, a general-purpose smart contract platform that, like Ethereum, supports permissionless decentralized financial applications.

HYPE is the native token of Hyperliquid. Staked HYPE in particular provides utility for users via reduced trading fees and increased referral bonuses. Circulating HYPE is autonomously purchased and sequestered by the blockchain itself with the trading fees generated on the network’s order books. As of June 2025, more than 25 million HYPE has been sequestered by this mechanism, and the token has become the 12th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

About Hyperion DeFi, Inc.
Hyperion DeFi, Inc. is the first U.S. publicly listed company building a long-term strategic treasury of Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE. The Company is focused on providing its shareholders with simplified access to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, one of the fastest growing, highest revenue-generating blockchains in the world. Shareholders benefit from a gradually compounding exposure to HYPE, both from its native staking yield and additional revenues generated from its unique on-chain utility.

Hyperion DeFi is also developing its proprietary Optejet User Filled Device (UFD) that is designed to work with a variety of topical ophthalmic liquids, including artificial tears and lens rewetting products. The Optejet is especially useful in chronic front-of-the-eye diseases due to its ease of use, enhanced safety and tolerability, and potential for superior compliance versus standard eye drops. Together, these benefits may result in higher treatment compliance and better outcomes for patients and providers.
