Decentralized trading platform Hyperliquid brought in roughly $105 million in revenue in September 2026, remaining roughly flat year-over-year, according to an October 30 research report by Grayscale Investments. While total monthly revenue was steady, the platform experienced a marked shift in its earnings mix as non-core, outsourced revenue streams doubled year-over-year to reach $38 million.[1][2][3]

Core trading fees accounted for roughly 64% of Hyperliquid's revenue in September 2026, down sharply from more than 90% in mid-2025. Grayscale attributed the rebalancing to increasing income from third-party markets, distribution partners, and USDC reserve yield. Data compiled by Artemis, hl.eco, and Grayscale shows that September 2026 fees included contributions from builder code fees, HIP-3 deployer perpetual fees, spot trading fees, and other on-chain costs including gas, priority, and auction fees.[1][3]

Looking ahead, Grayscale highlighted regulated U.S. market access as a key prospective growth driver for the network. The report cited plans by Kraken parent company Payward to launch as the first CFTC-regulated HIP-3 deployer, as well as an Intercontinental Exchange partnership with Trade[XYZ] aimed at establishing U.S.-regulated perpetual futures markets on Hyperliquid.[1]
