Lion Group Holding Ltd, a Nasdaq-listed company, has announced a $600 million allocation for the launch of HYPE strategy, emphasizing the growing institutional interest in decentralized finance.
Goals of the HYPE Strategy
Lion Group Holding (LGHL) aims to build the largest Hyperliquid (HYPE) treasury in the world. This initiative was announced on June 18, 2025, just a day after Eyenovia promised to allocate $50 million for similar projects. LGHL emphasizes that it sees HYPE as a natural extension of its derivatives business into decentralized markets.
quote: “Hyperliquid represents a natural extension of our existing derivatives business into decentralized markets and reflects our conviction that decentralized on-chain execution is the future of trading,” said Wilson Wang, CEO of LGHL.
Future Plans: Solana and Sui
In addition to the HYPE strategy, Wilson Wang has announced plans for strategic accumulation of other layer-1 tokens, such as Solana and Sui. LGHL plans to utilize BitGo to custody and stake its SOL and SUI assets. Wang noted that Solana has consumer application potential, and Sui is backed by financial structures, making them key elements of the company’s strategy.
Global Institutional Interest
With the launch of HYPE, LGHL joins companies like MicroStrategy and Eyenovia that are also demonstrating increasing interest in decentralized financial solutions. The success of HYPE aims to strengthen LGHL's position amid challenging market conditions and competition in the DeFi asset sector.
The launch of Lion Group Holding’s HYPE strategy highlights significant interest from institutional investors in decentralized finance and new investment opportunities, which may lead to further development and strengthening of the sector.
