Hyperion DeFi Partners with Rysk Protocol to Launch New Yield-Enhancement Vault
Hyperion DeFi has engaged with the Rysk protocol to launch a new institutional-grade, on-chain yield-enhancement vault native to the HyperEVM. Through this vault, Hyperion DeFi and its institutional partners will be able to utilize HYPE Liquid Staking Tokens and stablecoins as collateral for on-chain options strategies, generating additional yield beyond staking income. Hyperion DeFi will initially deploy the vault for its own balance sheet before selectively opening access to other qualified participants. Participants will be gated through HiHYPE which is minted exclusively by staking HYPE to the 'Kinetiq x Hyperion' validator. This structure is designed to create a controlled, institutional-only access model while driving incremental, diversified fee revenue to Hyperion DeFi over time.
