Odaiy Planet Daily reports that Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan and his team recently gave a feature interview to Colossos magazine. In the interview, Jeff revealed that after leaving quantitative trading giant Hudson River Trading in April 2018, he worked on Deaux, a prediction market-like project that would allow users to bet on any event with a result, such as weather, elections, or sporting events. Jeff experimented with an "off-chain matching, on-chain settlement" mechanism in the project (Jeff believes this was an idea he and co-founder Scott Wu pioneered). Funds would be stored in smart contracts controlled by code, but the user experience would remain fast and smooth, thus preserving the promise of cryptographic decentralization while avoiding its frictional costs. However, Deaux ultimately only had 100 users and was subsequently shut down due to a bear market. More details can be found in "Jeff Yan's Hyper Life".

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the US banking industry has questioned the White House's report on stablecoin yields, arguing that its conclusions are based on flawed questions. The White House Council of Economic Advisers report states that banning stablecoin yields would have a negligible impact on bank lending, increasing loans by only about $2.1 billion. American Bankers Association Chief Economist Sayee Srinivasan and Vice President Yikai Wang stated that the core policy concern is whether allowing stablecoins to generate yields would lead to deposit outflows, particularly from community banks to large institutions, thereby increasing funding costs and reducing local lending. The American Bankers Association acknowledges that the financial incentive to pursue high-yield stablecoins would prompt households and businesses to move funds out of banks. Currently, the crypto and banking industries are negotiating the terms of a Senate bill, with a ban on stablecoin interest payments being a key point of contention.

Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan and his team were recently featured in an exclusive interview with Colossos magazine. According to Odaily, during the interview, Jeff Yan was asked about the biggest challenges anticipated in 2025. He did not mention the attack on JLP by JellyJelly or any competitors, but instead highlighted issues with API servers. Throughout the summer, as Bitcoin surpassed $100,000, Hyperliquid's monthly trading volume exceeded $400 billion. The servers connecting market makers to the blockchain began experiencing problems. With an increasing number of institutions joining, each sending massive volumes of orders, cancellations, and updates, the infrastructure struggled to keep pace. Orders that should have been executed instantly were delayed by up to three seconds. Although the blockchain itself remained operational and user funds were secure, a three-second delay is significant in a market where milliseconds matter. Jeff Yan noted that during those weeks, he barely had any normal sleep, often going to bed at 1:30 a.m. and being woken up by 3 a.m. due to recurring system issues. Ultimately, the team rewrote the entire server system from the ground up, and the new system successfully withstood the extreme market conditions of the 1011 event.

Odaiy Planet Daily reports that Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan and his team recently gave a feature interview to Colossos magazine. In the interview, Jeff was asked what the biggest challenge he would face in 2025 was. He didn't mention JellyJelly's attack on JLP, nor did he mention competitors or bodyguards; instead, he mentioned API server issues. Throughout the summer, as Bitcoin broke $100,000, Hyperliquid's monthly trading volume exceeded $400 billion, and the servers connecting market makers to the blockchain began to experience problems. More and more institutions connected, each sending massive amounts of orders, cancellations, and update requests. The infrastructure transmitting this data couldn't keep up, and orders that should have been executed instantly began to be delayed by up to 3 seconds. The blockchain itself didn't crash, and user funds remained safe. But in a market where milliseconds determine victory or defeat, a 3-second delay is a serious problem. Jeff stated that he barely slept during those weeks—falling asleep at 1:30 AM and being woken up at 3 AM because the system was having problems again. Ultimately, the team rewrote the entire server system from the ground up, and the new system withstood the test of the subsequent 1011 extreme market conditions.

Odaiy Planet Daily reports that Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan and his team recently gave a feature interview to Colossos magazine. The founder of the Hyperliquid ecosystem project Trade.xyz (who requested anonymity) revealed that he purchased his first Bitcoin for $66 in 2013 and has since been active as an investor, not a builder.

Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan and his team were recently featured in an exclusive interview with Colossos magazine. According to Odaily, during the interview, Jeff and co-founder iliensinc addressed issues related to personal safety. iliensinc revealed that Jeff is the only team member who does not use a pseudonym. Initially, Hyperliquid's office was located in a shared workspace in the financial district. However, as Jeff's reputation grew, the team attracted increasing attention. Initially, this was limited to people trying to recognize Jeff's face, but it escalated to strangers approaching him and even following him into his apartment elevator. Consequently, Hyperliquid relocated to a quieter location, a building where they were less likely to be found. Jeff also moved to a more secure residence and hired bodyguards, ensuring he is accompanied by two private security personnel during outings. iliensinc regularly trains team members on how to respond if strangers inquire about their workplace.

Odaiy Planet Daily reports that Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan and his team recently gave a feature interview to Colossos magazine. In the interview, Jeff revealed that in January 2024, he had been in talks with investors, offering to only consider investment terms valuing the company at $1 billion. When an investor accepted this valuation, Jeff spent a weekend carefully considering it but ultimately decided to decline. Other team members, including Hyperliquid co-founder iliensinc (who manages the funds), found it difficult to accept, as iliensinc had already spent two weeks negotiating with investors. When Jeff called the fund, they were equally incredulous, assuming he had simply accepted terms from another institution. Jeff offered an analogy: "Hyperliquid isn't a company, it's an agreement. 'Neutralization' has been a core principle from the beginning. If Bitcoin had received venture capital funding back then, it wouldn't be the Bitcoin we know today; its entire value proposition would have been destroyed."
