Hyperliquid

They’re launching an L1 not because it makes technical sense (it doesn’t vs launching an L2), but because they want to corporate-capture the stablecoin opportunity. Let’s call a spade a spade and not pretend otherwise

What impressed me most is they obviously think the opportunity is available even if they launch another L1 vs other L2s. Which says volumes about their perception of the competition — that it’s weak.
