Hyperliquid starts using USDC yield to buy back and burn HYPE tokens, boosting token value.

On August 26, 2026, Hyperliquid activated its AQAv2 framework, directing about 90% of yield from its $5 billion USDC reserves to buy back and burn HYPE tokens. This new revenue stream supplements trading fees and is expected to generate $135 million to $160 million annually, with payouts every 30 to 38 days starting October 3. The move reduces reliance on trading volume for buybacks, potentially increasing token scarcity and value. Validator approval, including support from Coinbase and Circle, cleared the way for this program's launch.
