Hyperliquid Retakes Fee Dominance from ASTER: Implications for DeFi Market Dynamics

Hyperliquid has reclaimed its dominant position in the fee market, after a 13-day period of ASTER’s lead. This shift marks a significant change in the DeFi landscape, as Hyperliquid now boasts over 60% of daily market share. The comeback comes following the launch of Hypurr NFTs and integration with MetaMask for perpetual trading, potentially fueled by institutional interest driven by S&P Dow Jones Index inclusion. The impact on the DeFi market is undeniable: increased liquidity and a shifting playing field in terms of trading strategies and protocol development.
