TL;DR

Kinetiq is the largest liquid staking protocol on Hyperliquid's HyperEVM, enabling HYPE token holders to stake their assets while retaining DeFi composability through the kHYPE liquid staking token. Founded in late 2024 and launched on mainnet in mid-2025, Kinetiq has grown to become a foundational piece of Hyperliquid's staking infrastructure — peaking at approximately $2.6 billion in TVL before settling around $1 billion by the time of its governance token generation event in November 2025.

4The first adopter of iHYPE was Hyperion DeFi, a NASDAQ-listed company, marking a meaningful bridge between Hyperliquid's DeFi-native ecosystem and traditional financial institutions
