IOSG: Analyzing how the Hyperliquid ecosystem gave rise to the "Robinhood moment" of mobile crypto trading

IOSG: Analyzing how the Hyperliquid ecosystem gave rise to the "Robinhood moment" of mobile crypto trading

By Max @IOSG Key Points TL;DR Retail investing in traditional finance (tradfi) has gone mobile (zero commission + app user experience), and this trend is spreading to the cryptocurrency field - retail users are looking for a fast, familiar, low-friction mobile native trading experience. Hyperliquid's technology stack (HyperEVM + CoreWriter + builder code) significantly lowers the development threshold for mobile front-ends, while taking into account the execution efficiency of CEX-like and the advantages of DEX (self-custody, fast coin listing, and fewer geographical/KYC restrictions). A wave of native mobile apps built on HL has begun: BasedApp, Mass.Money, Dexari, and Supercexy. These apps generate an average daily trading volume of $50,000 USD (with a monthly recurring revenue of $1.5 million USD), representing approximately 3-6% of HL perpetual contract trading volume, and target diverse user groups (crypto-native users, Web2 retail users, and professional traders). Why now? Hyper-speculation and the creator content cycle have increased retail users’ risk appetite; mobile apps have shortened user onboarding time, simplified the complexity of crypto, and added sticky features (copy trading, fiat currency deposits, card payments, money markets, and income tools). Core arguments: Crypto mobile trading fronts benefit from strong tailwinds from Web2 mass adoption and retail activity. For the cryptocurrency market to grow in scale and transaction volume, it needs to provide more crypto-native mobile applications for mainstream Web2 consumers. Compared with the Web3 business model, this field has real sustainable scale revenue characteristics and extremely low marginal cost of expansion. The past few months have seen a significant increase in the number of mobile trading and DeFi applications targeting retail consumers, many of which are built on Hyperliquid's infrastructure. This article aims to delve deeper into this vertical, analyzing the applications currently dominating the market and providing relevant insights. background Overall, retail investor participation in traditional investments has grown dramatically over the past decade. This trend began in 2019, when several major US brokerages reduced stock trading commissions to zero to compete with Robinhood, significantly reducing trading costs for small accounts. The 2020 pandemic accelerated this process: lockdowns, stimulus checks, and continuously optimized mobile experiences brought millions of new investors into the market. By 2022, the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances showed a significant increase in stock market participation—58% of US households owned stocks directly or indirectly, and direct ownership jumped from 15% to 21%, the largest increase on record. Retail trading continues to play a significant role in daily market activity: it currently accounts for 20-30% of US stock trading volume, far exceeding pre-pandemic levels. This phenomenon is not limited to the United States but is also evident globally: the number of investment accounts in India has surged from tens of millions pre-pandemic to over 200 million by 2025. Investment channels are also continuing to expand—ETF inflows reached a record high in 2024-2025, and the popularity of fractional share trading and mobile brokerage services has provided retail investors with more convenient investment tools. The cost impact of zero commissions, the access impact of mobile trading applications, and the liquidity impact of ETFs have collectively driven retail investors to enter the public markets on a large scale, making consumer-grade investment applications a significant structural force in the market. Mobile Trading App Since 2021, the mobile trading app vertical within the retail trading market has continued to expand, driven by the increasing penetration of mobile devices and the rise of a new generation of independent decision-making investors. The global investment app market is projected to reach approximately $254.9 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1%. Why are mobile trading apps so popular among retail investors? The main reasons can be summarized into two dimensions: #Socially driven (everything is gamified and gambling-like) Contemporary social culture is dominated by dopamine loops, gamification mechanisms, and hyper-speculative behavior. The rise of the creator economy and short-form video platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts has reshaped user behavior, driving a demand for instant gratification. Mobile trading apps perfectly fit this need on multiple levels. On the social media front, communities like Wall Street Bets on platforms like Reddit are flooded with users showcasing massive gains and losses. Single-day gains and losses exceeding $100,000 have become normalized, and retail users are becoming increasingly desensitized to such sums. Many users separate their Robinhood account funds from real money, viewing their portfolios as mere chips in a game. Coupled with rising living costs, a widening wealth gap, and negative sentiment surrounding "involution," many working-class individuals believe the only way to achieve the American Dream is through "hyper-speculation"—taking extreme risks for outsized returns. Mobile trading apps have successfully capitalized on this social and cultural trend. By offering short-term options, leveraged products, instant execution, and a gamified interface, these apps have successfully lured users away from casinos and into the stock market. Users can simultaneously experience the dopamine rush, gaming thrills, and speculative trading experiences all on a single mobile device. #Application Features Mobile trading apps have significantly improved their features across multiple dimensions. Onboarding, they have condensed the account opening process from days of tedious paperwork to a near-instant online experience. All user processes, from identity verification to trade execution, are integrated into a single interface, enabling users to fully manage their portfolios. By removing friction points from traditional brokerage models and incorporating new value propositions like fractional share purchases and recurring investments, these platforms lower both the financial and cognitive barriers to entry. By incorporating familiar consumer design language from mainstream apps, they shorten the trading decision-making process, while personalized features like curated target lists and portfolio performance analysis maintain user engagement. Furthermore, post-investment features like detailed performance reporting and automated tax filing make the experience more akin to a full-service financial application, enabling users to complete all operations, rather than a simple trading terminal. On the social side, content elements further lower the barrier to use by providing an easily shareable interface, fostering social engagement and incentives (e.g., usage driven by the WSB forum). These characteristics collectively explain why mobile platforms have become the default investment channel and a persistent driver of retail market participation. How does this impact the cryptocurrency industry? The mobile-first application trend has extended from traditional finance/Web2 markets to the Web3 field. The surge in cryptocurrency wallet app usage over the past five years demonstrates market demand for mobile-native crypto products. Since trading and earning are inherent features of cryptocurrencies, perpetual swaps and DeFi are naturally the first areas to be transformed in this "mobile" era. With the rise of Hyperliquid since the end of 2024 and the launch of its modular high-performance trading infrastructure, many mobile perpetual contract DEX transactions and DeFi front-end products began to be built on HL infrastructure and flooded into the market. Why Hyperliquid and DEX? From a developer's perspective, HyperEVM's infrastructure is highly attractive due to the powerful tools it provides. CoreWriter and precompiled contracts allow smart contracts on HyperEVM to interact directly with HyperCore perpetual contract positions, enabling unique use cases and near-instant execution. Builder Code provides a clear incentive layer for developers, enabling them to earn a share of transaction fees when users trade through their front-ends. These features not only lower the barrier to entry for development but also make HyperEVM one of the most developer-friendly platforms, attracting top teams and talent. This is why 99% of mobile crypto trading front-ends are built on Hyperliquid. As for why DEXs? Traders are generally drawn to their structural advantages: broader access by eliminating KYC and jurisdictional restrictions, faster coin listings and a wider selection of tokens, and the ability to manage funds autonomously. Previously, CEXs attracted retail users because they significantly reduced the complexity of market participation: offering multiple trading markets within a single, mature web application, instant execution, low slippage, and high liquidity, along with integrated support features like wallet management, stable returns, and fiat currency access. However, this required users to assume significant counterparty risk and forgo the right to self-custody their assets. Hyperliquid is the platform that perfectly integrates all of these elements. This on-chain decentralized exchange combines the structural advantages of a DEX perpetual contract platform with CEX-level liquidity, execution efficiency, and overall user experience. This makes it the ideal liquidity infrastructure for building mobile crypto trading applications. So how does all this relate to mobile wallet transactions? Thanks to the availability of this modular, high-performance architecture, the development costs of building a mobile trading front-end have become extremely low - this is why a large number of related applications have begun to emerge on the market. Most mobile trading front-ends currently offer similar functionality centered around perpetual contract trading, but some are beginning to go beyond perpetual contracts to offer users a wider range of ancillary products. Generally speaking, these apps generally offer the following features: Fiat currency deposit channels: Supports credit/debit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo and other deposit methods Investment strategy tools: Provide fixed investment plans, stop-loss and take-profit functions, and early access to new tokens Money Market Integration: One-Stop Access to DeFi Lending Protocols Earn interest: Earn income through automatic compounding vaults Dapp Explorer: Search and connect to emerging decentralized applications Debit/Credit Card Services: Directly use self-managed funds for spending These features are made possible by Hyperliquid's infrastructure, which greatly simplifies the development of the core perpetual contract product, freeing the team to focus on innovation in other derivative areas. Due to the modular nature of the entire ecosystem, most HL-based projects can easily achieve parallel development in multiple areas. The rich functionality offered by many applications is primarily due to: 1. the low development threshold of Hypercore's developer code; 2. the high willingness to integrate with other protocols. In addition, major applications are competing mainly in terms of user experience/interface design and social brand building. The most promising representatives in the market include: #Basedapp Currently, Based App is the most popular and fastest-growing mobile trading front-end application in the market. In addition to offering perpetual contracts and spot trading, the platform also innovatively offers debit/credit card solutions directly connected to users' trading wallets, supporting payment needs in everyday scenarios. Its long-term goal is to transform into an emerging digital bank similar to Etherfi. #Mass.Money Following closely in the mobile trading front-end competition is Mass.money. Unlike its "Based App" platform, this platform focuses more on the Web2 retail user base, a positioning fully reflected in its product design: in addition to standard HL perpetual contracts and spot trading, it also integrates Apple Pay deposit channels, social copy trading functionality, access to DeFi money markets, and cross-chain EVM spot exchange, among other full-featured services. Its interface design deeply incorporates gamification elements, drawing heavily on the design language of Web2 consumer applications. However, due to their higher fee model and broader product portfolio, their revenue per user and transaction volume are significantly higher than BasedApp. #Dexari Following closely behind Mass.money is Dexari, a mobile trading front-end designed for professional traders, focusing purely on trading functionality. Key product features include HL perpetual contracts and spot trading, with a user experience and interface design focused on asset discovery, analytical tools, and execution efficiency. Their goal is to become the Axiom (professional trading benchmark) of mobile trading front-ends. #Supercexy Last but not least, Supercexy. This platform has opted for a purely mobile-first approach and is also optimizing its web-based perpetual contract DEX trading experience, aiming to provide a CEX-like experience, but built entirely on Hyperliquid infrastructure. With DeFi staking and money market access integrated into its product suite, the app primarily serves Web3-native traders. Comprehensive perspective Overall Overview Overall, the combined average daily revenue for all relevant mobile trading frontends (including some not mentioned here) is approximately $50,000, equivalent to approximately $1.5 million in monthly recurring revenue (MRR). These apps account for approximately 3%-6% of Hyperliquid's total perpetual contract volume. For reference, Hyperliquid's HLP vault accounts for approximately 5%. Hyperliquid Mobile Trading Front-End Revenue Summarize Core Viewpoint Cryptocurrency mobile trading frontends benefit from strong tailwinds from the Web2 crowd and retail activity The trend of hyper-speculativeness in society has fundamentally altered retail consumer behavior. As evidenced by the growth of Polymarket and Kalshi, most users in the current environment adopt high-risk strategies. With speculative demand at an all-time high, mobile trading apps are the product form most directly benefiting. As mentioned earlier, traditional financial mobile apps like Robinhood, Wealthsimple, and TD Ameritrade have seen significant increases in user growth and adoption, primarily due to their low barriers to entry and their willingness to promote short-term, highly leveraged, and gambling-like products. Clearly, retail users need easy ways to gain risk exposure and allocate capital, and mobile trading apps are the most logical solution. Mobile cryptocurrency trading apps are fundamentally no different and can similarly benefit from this consumer behavior if they effectively build discoverability. Robinhood, Wealthsimple, and Revolut, all integrating crypto products into their apps, are a testament to this. Despite charging significantly higher fees, these traditional financial apps have seen significant adoption of crypto products within their apps, demonstrating a strong demand among retail users for convenient mobile access to the crypto market. Without dedicated mobile crypto trading apps, the Web3 market will cede significant value capture opportunities to Web2 competitors. For the cryptocurrency market to achieve growth in scale and transaction volume, it needs to provide more crypto-native mobile applications for mainstream Web2 consumers. There has been virtually no new retail inflows since 2023. The total stablecoin market capitalization is only about 25% above its 2021 all-time high, a dismal four-year growth rate for any sector—and this is happening against the backdrop of the most favorable regulatory environment for stablecoins and strong presidential support for the crypto industry. The market needs solutions to attract new retail liquidity, but significant barriers to new retail capital entry remain unaddressed. The primary obstacles are: first, the public's perception of complex operational processes for participating in the crypto market; second, a lack of accessible applications that truly understand the needs of Web2 users. Web2 retail users don't use complex wallets or transfer funds across multiple chains. They need products packaged in a familiar format, offering easy onboarding and a user-friendly experience, similar to accounts like Robinhood or Wealthsimple. Cryptocurrency mobile trading front-ends are the solution—they package products in traditional financial formats familiar to Web2 users, fundamentally removing the cognitive barrier to entry and lowering the barrier to participation. This is the only effective way for cryptocurrencies to break through Web3 circles and gain mainstream exposure. A real revenue model with sustainable economies of scale and very low expansion costs compared to the Web3 business model Mobile cryptocurrency trading frontends mark the beginning of a new generation of applications in the Web3 market—a more sustainable and compliant path to development. Unlike previous traditional crypto products (whether infrastructure or DApps), most projects haven't focused on scaling or revenue generation because these weren't core incentives. Most founders' North Star metric was acquiring initial users at any cost, no matter how inefficient or extractive their growth funnels were. They then raised venture capital, locked up tokens through over-the-counter sales, or waited out vesting periods without improving their products. Typical examples include Story Protocol ($IP), Blast, and Sei Network ($SEI). Crypto mobile trading frontends take the opposite approach: leveraging existing infrastructure to optimize scale, generating revenue first and raising capital later. By acting as aggregators of diverse products and employing a base fee structure, these frontends possess the structural advantage of integrating across multiple verticals at minimal cost, while simultaneously focusing on the user experience interface to drive user acquisition and retention. This combination means revenue generation from day one, with continued exponential growth over time. The end result is a more sustainable, real-world commercial and value layer for Web3, replacing the extractive model of the past. This will bring growing credibility to the entire Web3 industry.

New projects from DeFi veterans: Curve founder creates BTC pool, AC plans to build a full-fledged exchange

New projects from DeFi veterans: Curve founder creates BTC pool, AC plans to build a full-fledged exchange

Author: Ash Compiled by: TechFlow @newmichwill, founder of @CurveFinance, is launching @yieldbasis, a Bitcoin AMM liquidity platform with no impermanent loss. Meanwhile, @yearnfi founder and DeFi god @AndreCronjeTech is building @flyingtulip_, a unified AMM+CLOB exchange. Two different attempts to solve the same problem: how to make on-chain liquidity truly effective: Yield Basis ($YB): A Curve-native AMM that eliminates impermanent loss for BTC liquidity providers by maintaining a constant 2x leveraged BTC-crvUSD liquidity pool (LP value remains 1:1 with BTC while earning transaction fees). Users can mint ybBTC (yield-generating BTC). Flying Tulip ($FT): An on-chain unified exchange (including spot, lending, perpetual contracts, options, and structured returns), based on a volatility-aware hybrid AMM+CLOB architecture, combined with a slippage-aware lending mechanism, and ftUSD (a delta-neutral USD equivalent) as the core incentive. Yield Basis Traditional AMMs allow BTC liquidity providers to sell when prices rise or buy when prices fall (√p exposure, DeepChao Note: market risk exposure measured in square roots of prices), resulting in impermanent losses that often exceed the fees earned from providing liquidity. The specific mechanism of Yield Basis will be explained in detail later, but the core is: users deposit BTC into the platform, and the protocol borrows an equal amount of crvUSD, forming a 50/50 BTC-crvUSD Curve liquidity pool, which operates with 2x compound leverage. A re-leveraged AMM and virtual pool maintains a debt approximately equal to 50% of the liquidity pool value; arbitrageurs profit by maintaining leverage constant. This allows the value of the liquidity pool to change linearly with BTC while earning transaction fees. Liquidity providers hold ybBTC, a yield-generating BTC receipt token that automatically compounds BTC-denominated transaction fees. The platform also provides governance tokens $YB, which can be locked as veYB and used for voting (for example, selecting liquidity pool reward distribution). Yield Basis is primarily aimed at BTC holders who want to unlock productive BTC in a protocol that solves the impermanent loss problem and earn fees. Flying Tulip Traditional decentralized exchanges (DEXs) often have static user experiences and risk profiles. Flying Tulip aims to bring centralized exchange (CEX)-level tools to the blockchain by adjusting AMM curves based on volatility and adjusting loan-to-value (LTV) ratios based on actual execution/slippage. Its AMM adjusts the curvature based on the measured volatility (EWMA) - that is, it tends to be flat (close to the constant sum) in the case of small volatility to compress slippage and impermanent loss; it has more multiplicative characteristics in the case of large volatility to avoid liquidity depletion. ftUSD tokenized delta-neutral liquidity pool positions are generated and used for incentive mechanisms and liquidity programs. The platform token $FT may be used for revenue buybacks, incentives, and liquidity programs. Flying Tulip is a DeFi super app: an exchange that supports spot trading, lending, perpetual contracts, and options. Execution quality relies on accurate volatility/impact signals and robust risk control in stressed environments. Outlook of the two projects Yield Basis aims to become a platform for BTC liquidity, while Flying Tulip aims to become a platform for all on-chain native trading. In an era dominated by perpetual contract decentralized exchanges (Perp DEXs), Flying Tulip's launch seems opportune. Frankly, if it can achieve best execution, Flying Tulip could even divert future BTC traffic to a pool similar to YB. If Yield Basis succeeds, ybBTC could become Bitcoin's "stETH" primitive: BTC exposure + liquidity provider (LP) trading fees, without impermanent loss. Flying Tulip has the potential to launch its integrated stack, providing users with centralized exchange (CEX)-level tools, attempting to become a "one-stop shop for all DeFi." While cautiously optimistic about both projects, it's important to note that these projects, led by OG founders and top-tier teams, remain untested, and their founders must also consider the development of other protocols, such as Curve and Sonic. The above image was compiled by TechFlow as follows:

BlockDAG Hits Nearly $415M, Bitcoin Hyper & Pepenode

The post BlockDAG Hits Nearly $415M, Bitcoin Hyper & Pepenode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 29 September 2025 | 20:00 Discover the best crypto presales of 2025. See how BlockDAG’s nearly $415M Awakening testnet outperforms Bitcoin Hyper and Pepenode with proven tech for Tier 1 listings. Most new projects claim innovation, but often fall short when tested. Bitcoin Hyper talks about programmable Bitcoin, yet it’s still tied to presale promises. Pepenode is fun and gamified, but its reach is limited to meme-style mining rather than serious scalability. So the question is, what happens when a project can actually prove the numbers behind its pitch? That’s where BlockDAG comes in as one of the best crypto presales of 2025. The Awakening testnet has happened, giving BlockDAG the credibility needed for Tier 1 listings. With throughput boosted to 1,400 TPS, account abstraction live, runtime upgradability built in, and working dApps already on-chain, the Awakening testnet provides the hard proof that exchanges look for. Add explorer tools, real-time analytics, and a full IDE for developers, and it’s clear this isn’t just hype. Compared with other presales, BlockDAG now shows it has the tech backbone to support major CEX deployment. BlockDAG: Awakening Testnet Builds the Case for Tier 1 Listings The Awakening Testnet is now live, giving BlockDAG the credibility needed for Tier 1 listings. For months, the presale numbers have been impressive, but exchanges look for more than hype; they want proof that the technology can actually deliver. Awakening answers that with hard stats: throughput has jumped to 1,400 TPS, account abstraction (EIP-4337) is live, and runtime upgradability means the network can scale without disruptive hard forks.

Ethereum (ETH) to Become a Trillion-Dollar Crypto in 2025 as Institutions Buy, But This Coin Might Reward Holders with 45x Gains

Ethereum (ETH) to Become a Trillion-Dollar Crypto in 2025 as Institutions Buy, But This Coin Might Reward Holders with 45x Gains

The post Ethereum (ETH) to Become a Trillion-Dollar Crypto in 2025 as Institutions Buy, But This Coin Might Reward Holders with 45x Gains appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As crypto markets enter their second bull cycle, Ethereum dominates the conversation. Analysts predict that Ethereum may join Bitcoin in the trillion-dollar market value club as institutional purchases and decentralized finance continue to grow. But for retail investors seeking outsized returns, another token under $0.0025 may hold the keys to 45x gains: Little Pepe (LILPEPE). Ethereum’s March Toward $1 Trillion Ethereum has a market capitalization of $540 billion and trades at a price near $4,470. Although large, this is only half the trillion-dollar milestone some expect ETH to achieve in 2025. Ethereum Price Chart | Source: CoinGecko Institutional activity is one of the strongest signals behind the projection. Investment firms, ETFs, and treasury companies continue to accumulate ETH on a large scale. Bitmine, one of the largest institutional holders, has recently purchased an additional $69 million worth of ETH, increasing its total holdings to nearly two million tokens. Analysts note that ETH’s historical cycles show a familiar setup. Just as it corrected before breaking out to new highs in 2021, the current consolidation phase could set the stage for a rally toward $10,000 and beyond, pushing Ethereum firmly into trillion-dollar territory in 2025. Little Pepe: A Meme Revolution with Utility While Ethereum’s climb to $1 trillion strengthens its status as a blue-chip asset, the opportunity for exponential growth lies in emerging projects built on the energy of memes and their utility. That’s where Little Pepe (LILPEPE) comes in. Currently priced below $0.0025 in Stage 13 of its presale, Little Pepe has already raised over $26 million and sold 16 billion tokens. Unlike typical meme tokens that rely solely on hype, Little Pepe is introducing the world’s first Layer 2 blockchain dedicated exclusively to memes. Its standout features include a sniper-bot-resistant EVM chain for fair launches, zero buy/sell tax with near-zero…
