LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperion DeFi, Inc. (NASDAQ: HYPD) (“Hyperion DeFi” or the “Company”), the first U.S. publicly listed company building a long-term strategic treasury of Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, today reported results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2025.
“This has been an extraordinary six months for Hyperion DeFi, and we are still in the early stages of our evolution,” said Hyunsu Jung, Interim CEO of Hyperion DeFi.
Mr. Jung continued, “We’ve successfully executed what we believe represents one of the most significant corporate transformations in recent public market history – pivoting from Eyenovia’s ophthalmic technology focus to establishing ourselves as a premier institutional gateway to DeFi innovation. In our first full quarter with our new digital asset treasury strategy, not only did we achieve record net income for the Company, but we have established multiple business lines on the Hyperliquid blockchain which we expect to continue to scale through the fourth quarter, into 2026, and beyond.”

Description of Business Activities in Q3’25
Hyperion DeFi is the first U.S. publicly listed company building a long-term strategic treasury of Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE. The Company is focused on providing its shareholders with simplified access to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, one of the fastest growing, highest revenue-generating blockchains in the world. Shareholders benefit from a gradually compounding exposure to HYPE, both from its native staking yield and additional revenues generated from its unique on-chain utility.
The Company’s Q3’25 operating business activities are summarized below:
- Staking Rewards: The Company stakes its HYPE to its Validator and earns rewards.
- Validator Commissions: The Company operates its Validator under a Joint Validator Operators Agreement (together with Kinetiq and Pier Two) and earns commissions on rewards delivered to third-party tokens delegated to the Validator.
- Yield Enhancement: The Company pursues accretive strategies to enhance yield earned on its tokens.
- In Q3’25, this included the launch of the Company’s “HiHYPE” (Hyperion iHYPE) liquid staking token, gains on covered call option strategies (included in the realized and unrealized gains on digital assets income statement line items), and certain liquid staking activities.
- DeFi Monetization: The Company supports and monetizes DeFi activity on the Hyperliquid blockchain with sustainable, scalable practices.
- In Q3’25, this included the launch of the Company’s proprietary “HAUS” platform (“HYPE Asset Use Service”), which allows its clients to unlock unique utility on Hyperliquid while generating fee income for Hyperion DeFi.
- The Company announced its first HAUS transaction with Credo in September 2025, which enables Credo to receive the benefit of lower trading fees on the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange, with Hyperion DeFi receiving a portion of those savings as income (while continuing to earn staking rewards).
- The Company’s second HAUS transaction was announced with Felix in October 2025, enabling Felix’s launch of new financial markets on the Hyperliquid blockchain, with Hyperion DeFi receiving a portion of fees generated from their markets (while continuing to earn staking rewards).
- Ecosystem Rewards: Through its active participation in the Hyperliquid DeFi ecosystem, the Company positions itself for the receipt of future potential token airdrops, protocol incentives, and other rewards that may become available periodically. In Q3’25, the Company’s Validator received over 3 million tokens delegated from the Hyperliquid Foundation.
- Life Sciences: Hyperion DeFi continues to develop its proprietary Optejet User Filled Device (UFD).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, this press release and the accompanying tables contain Adjusted Revenue, Gross HYPE Holdings, Net Asset Value, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Revenue, Gross HYPE Holdings, Net Asset Value, and Adjusted EBITDA are unaudited, presented as supplemental disclosure, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
It is important to note that the particular items we exclude from, or include in, Adjusted Revenue, Gross HYPE Holdings, Net Asset Value, and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. We also periodically review our non-GAAP financial measures and may revise these measures to reflect changes in our business or otherwise.
“Adjusted Revenue” reflects all staking, commissions, and gross operational, asset-generating business activity in-period. It is reconciled to the GAAP measure “Revenue” by adding accumulated but unrealized rewards on HiHYPE. Staking rewards are not recognized from a GAAP Revenue perspective on our liquid staking token; instead, conversion back from HiHYPE into HYPE may result in a gain in connection with recognizing the market value of HYPE (including earned staking rewards) versus derecognizing the carrying value of HiHYPE upon conversion. We believe Adjusted Revenue provides a more complete view of our staking activities and overall recurring business profile, without potential period-to-period variability due to HiHYPE liquid staking activities. As such, Adjusted Revenue is an important metric used by our management for financial, risk management and operational decision-making, and provides an additional tool for investors to use to understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods.
“Gross HYPE Holdings” is the gross market value of the Company’s HYPE assuming all HiHYPE tokens were converted back to HYPE tokens as of September 30, 2025. It is reconciled to the GAAP measure “HYPE – Digital Assets” by adding (i) HiHYPE Tokens at carrying value and (ii) the unrealized accretion (dilution) expected upon HiHYPE to HYPE reconversion as of September 30, 2025. We believe Gross HYPE Holdings is a helpful non-GAAP financial measure to our management and investors because it eliminates the temporary financial impacts caused by the conversion of HYPE tokens into HiHYPE tokens, which (a) derecognizes staking rewards and commissions on our HiHYPE tokens and (b) does not recognize upward mark-to-market movements in underlying HYPE tokens given HiHYPE is carried at the lower of cost basis or impaired value. As such, it provides useful information about our balance sheet, allows for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial, risk management and operational decision-making, and provides an additional tool for investors to use to understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods.
“Net Asset Value” is the market value of our marketable digital assets less net outstanding debt. It is reconciled to the GAAP measure “HYPE – Digital Assets” by (i) adding HiHYPE Tokens at carrying value, (ii) adding the unrealized accretion (dilution) expected upon HiHYPE to HYPE reconversion, (iii) adding Current Assets, (iv) subtracting Current Liabilities, and (v) subtracting Notes Payable (Non-current portion, without subtracting corresponding debt discounts or any unamortized issuance expenses). We believe Net Asset Value is a helpful non-GAAP financial measure to our management and investors because it provides a more complete picture of our net liquid and marketable assets. It does not include Other Digital Assets which may not be immediately marketable. It does not include other non-current assets or non-current liabilities beyond the aforementioned items. The Company believes Net Asset Value provides useful information about our balance sheet and financial performance, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, allows for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial, risk management and operational decision-making, and provides an additional tool for investors to use to understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is a financial earnings measure meant to reflect management’s view of recurring business activities and a more comparable view of the mark-to-market impacts on our digital asset treasury holdings in-period. It is reconciled to the GAAP measure “Net Income (Loss)” by removing (i) equity based compensation, (ii) interest expense, (iii) income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense (excluding amortization of operating lease), (v) non-recurring gains from reductions in life sciences liabilities, and (vi) other non-recurring items which we do not consider material in nature; and, it adds the in-period change in unrealized accretion (dilution) expected upon HiHYPE to HYPE reconversion. The items excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA are excluded because they are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations, and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We add to Adjusted EBITDA the in-period change in unrealized accretion (dilution) expected upon HiHYPE to HYPE reconversion to give a more complete picture of mark-to-market impacts on our HYPE holdings, disregarding the temporary conversion of HYPE to HiHYPE. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods, for risk management and operational decision-making purposes. This non-GAAP measure provides investors with additional information in evaluating the Company’s operating performance.
Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool.
