Native Markets Wins Hyperliquid’s USDH Stablecoin Bid, Plans to Enter Testing “Within Days”
According to The Block, Hyperliquid's validator community has selected Native Markets for the long-term reserved USDH trading symbol. This concludes a week-long competition that attracted bids from major players in the stablecoin and cryptocurrency infrastructure sectors. In a post announcing the results, Native Markets stated that it will immediately begin a phased rollout plan, starting with a small-scale minting and redemption test phase, followed by the launch of a USDH/USDC spot trading pair, and ultimately the removal of the cap. The team considers the cap a safety check before the full rollout and states that activities should begin "within days." According to the proposal, Native Markets' USDH will be issued natively on Hyperliquid's HyperEVM network, with reserves managed by both off-chain and on-chain assets. The proposal specifies plans to allocate reserve proceeds to HYPE buybacks and expand USDH circulation. The stablecoin will be "initially fully backed by an off-chain reserve managed by BlackRock and an on-chain reserve managed by Superstate through Bridge, with cash and U.S. Treasury equivalents."
According to Decrypt, Leah Wald, CEO of Solana's treasury company, SOL Strategies, stated that the company is currently at a disadvantage in the increasingly crowded crypto and digital asset treasury market, but being undervalued is definitely an advantage, as being undervalued usually means you are doing the right thing, and in the long run, the market values substance over hype. SOL Strategies reportedly holds over 435,000 SOL on its balance sheet and has delegated approximately 3.6 million SOL to validators to date, totaling over $820 million in delegated assets. This means that regardless of whether the SOL price rises or falls, it can earn a certain percentage of the assets delegated to validators.
