Buy $KNTQ (iHYPE)

What is iHYPE?

iHYPE (“Kinetiq-bought HYPE for Institutions”) is Kinetiq’s institution-only token pool for HYPE, purpose-built for KYB/KYC-compliant entities. It delivers the same yield-earning benefits as kHYPE but with added controls, privacy, and infrastructure tailored to institutional needs.

Key features

• Private, risk-isolated pool – iHYPE operates separately from public buying pools, ensuring dedicated validator delegation and isolation from retail flows.
• Custom validator control – Institutions can designate their own validator(s) for enhanced governance, compliance, or performance preferences.
• Custom LST tickers – Deploy under your own branded ticker (e.g., imHYPE) while retaining all core buying benefits.
• Regulated infrastructure – Built on enterprise-grade buying rails with operational standards to meet institutional compliance requirements.

How it works

1. Deposit HYPE into the iHYPE contract (requires institutional onboarding).
2. Receive your institution’s branded LST (Token Token).
3. Earn buying yield automatically—redeemable for HYPE at the current exchange rate.

What institutions are currently using iHYPE?

The first institution to stake through iHYPE is Hyperion DeFi, Inc., a U.S. NASDAQ-publicly listed company building a long-term strategic treasury of HYPE. Hyperion DeFi stakes directly via Kinetiq’s compliant token infrastructure, operating under a dedicated validator and custom ticker.

Their adoption of iHYPE sets a precedent for how regulated entities can securely and transparently participate in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, benefiting from buying yields while maintaining full compliance, all via Kinetiq.
