This is the story of Hyperliquid, the most profitable startup per employee on earth, told from a guarded office in Singapore.
Last year, its team of 11 generated $900 million in profit. It's 3 years old, has never taken a dollar of venture capital, and is beginning to change how century-old markets work.
Its founder, Jeffrey Yan (@chameleon_jeff), had never taken a physics class when he picked up a textbook at 16. Two years later, he won gold at the International Physics Olympiad. In 2019, he started trading with $10,000 from a living room in Puerto Rico—working off a television because he didn't own a monitor.
Within 3 years, he was running one of the largest anonymous crypto trading firms.
Then he shut it down. Yan was rich and free, but he had spent years inside crypto, watching it betray itself. Bitcoin's central premise was decentralization. Yet the biggest exchanges were centralized. Crypto kept reintroducing the dependence on trust it was built to eliminate. He set out to create what should have existed.
Hyperliquid is a blockchain with a trading exchange on top, and anyone can build on it. Yan's vision is to house all of finance. In 3 years, it has done over $4 trillion in volume. And in the past few months, it has begun to outgrow crypto.
Markets for oil, silver, and the S&P 500 now trade on Hyperliquid around the clock, weekends included, and are growing roughly 40% week on week. When the US and Israel bombed Iran on a Saturday in February, Hyperliquid was the venue traders turned to.
Hyperliquid's success has cost Yan his freedom. He works out of a secret office in Singapore and cannot travel without two bodyguards. Even the team's housekeeper doesn't know what they do.
In January, @domcooke spent a week at their office. Read his profile on Yan and @HyperliquidX below.

Thanks @domcooke for spending months on researching and writing this piece. Einstein once said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." By that measure, Dom has blown me away with how deeply he came to understand Hyperliquid and what we're all building together.
When someone asks what "housing all of finance" means, I'm proud to point them to this piece. I hope readers appreciate just how much Dom and his team put into their work. It reflects the thoughtful craft that is in Hyperliquid's DNA. Special thanks to @patrick_oshag for taking a bet on Hyperliquid's story.

6 months ago KuCoin admitted fault for my $300K liquidation. Here's what happened since.
I took a Google Meet with their Head of Futures. I went to an in person meeting at Tribes in Dubai Mall with their Global Business Director. I sent 10+ proposals. I gave them every possible way to make this right.
On the call they took full responsibility. They admitted the liquidation was caused by broken infrastructure. Their platform failed and they said so themselves.
But here's the part that's hard to believe. Their Head of Futures couldn't understand basic futures mechanics. I had to explain how margin, liquidation and order book depth works to the person running the futures division at a top 10 exchange.
The person responsible for resolving my case didn't understand the product that caused it.
Their first offer: bring us $2.5 billion in trading volume and you can "earn it back." I did the math for them live in the chat. $10,000 per 100M volume. That's 0.01% return. To recover $250K I would need to generate the monthly volume of a top 50 institutional desk. For free.
I said no.
Their second offer was worse. $20K upfront, but only if I hit 1,000 active users and $300M in volume first. Then a $30K "cashback" that requires KuCoin's manual approval.
I said no again.
Their third offer was even worse than the second. $10K/month. Halved the numbers from the deal they already couldn't close. After an in person meeting. After a Google Meet. After weeks of negotiations.
Every single offer came with the same condition: delete the tweets, stop talking, and come work for us as a KOL. Promote the exchange that wrongfully liquidated me. Bring them users. Make them money. Then maybe they'd consider giving back what they took.
I told them in the chat: "It's like someone steal from me $250K and then tells me come work for me and you'll make it back (maybe)."
Their response? "Let me think about it."
Then silence. Weeks of silence. I had to chase them for every single reply. Christmas came and went and I gave them a final deadline January 6th. They came back with yet another lowball.
KuCoin had their Head of Futures, their Global Business Director, and multiple senior reps in this group chat. They all saw every message. They all went quiet when it mattered.
Today I'm releasing the full 30 minute Google Meet recording and the complete Telegram history. Every message. Every offer. Every time they went silent. You'll hear them admit fault and then watch them do nothing about it.
They had 6 months to make this right. They chose silence.
Video drops today.

KuCoin took responsibility for my $300K liquidation and after a month of “we’ll fix it,” here’s what they finally offered me: To recover the money they caused me to lose, I need to generate: $700,000,000 to $1,000,000,000+ in referral trading volume so I can “earn it back” in commissions. Yes - their solution to a wrongful liquidation is: “Bring us a billion dollars in volume so you can fix our mistake.” Let that sink in. This wasn’t a normal loss. It wasn’t bad trading. It wasn’t a degen gamble gone wrong. It was a liquidation caused by broken infrastructure: KuCoin acknowledged all of this. They took responsibility. They told me they would work with me to resolve it. In the past month, I’ve done everything on my side, days of back and forth messaging and even took 2 IRL meetings with Kucoin. And after all that? Not even the fees I paid are refundable unless I bring them nine to ten figures worth of volume. If this is how an exchange handles a case they admit fault on, imagine how many users get brushed off when the situation isn’t escalated. I’m still waiting for a real resolution.
