I just read a very interesting interview with Jeff Yan, the founder of Hyperliquid, where he talks about something that most crypto projects never achieve: the vision of building something truly perpetual.

What caught my attention is how Yan doesn’t just see Hyperliquid as a trading platform, but as a perpetual fund of financial value. He compared the ambition to Bitcoin: a system that transcends time and doesn’t depend on any central authority. That’s quite different from most proposals you see in the space.

According to the interview on February 19th, Yan believes that few crypto projects really stand the test of time. But with Hyperliquid, the idea is different. He wants it to evolve into something bigger: the internet of money. It’s not just an exchange; it’s a neutral financial infrastructure built on blockchain.

What I find interesting is that Yan envisions a perpetual fund of fundamental protocols, where Hyperliquid acts as the backbone of a fully decentralized financial system. It’s ambitious, but it makes sense when you think about it from the perspective of future finance.

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard visions like this in crypto, but there’s something about the way he presents it that sounds different. While many projects aim to grow quickly, Hyperliquid targets something more enduring: being an eternal store of value, a perpetual fund that withstands the test of time. That’s what truly sets apart projects that make a difference from those that just go out of fashion.
