Hyperion Closes Strategic Funding Round Led By OKX Ventures To Accelerate Unified Liquidity And Trading Layer On Aptos

(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

HONG KONG, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperion , the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Aptos blockchain, has officially closed a strategic funding round led by OKX Ventures, with participation from Aptos Labs, Arthur Hayes' family office Maelstrom, and leading global investment fund Mirana Ventures.

This latest milestone marks a critical step in Hyperion's mission to expand protocol adoption, enhance decentralized trading and product experiences, and establish itself as the unified liquidity and trading layer of the Aptos ecosystem.

From Leading DEX to On-Chain Yield Infrastructure on Aptos

With over $100 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and a cumulative DEX trading volume exceeding $3 billion, Hyperion has rapidly emerged as the leading decentralized exchange on Aptos. Leveraging Aptos' high-performance parallel execution engine, Hyperion delivers a seamless and efficient trading experience by integrating swap aggregation, concentrated liquidity market-making (CLMM), dynamic liquidity market-making (DLMM), and vault strategies into a unified on-chain platform.

Hyperion's role as the on-chain liquidity hub of Aptos grows steadily. Building on its DEX foundation, the project is evolving into an on-chain yield infrastructure to provide users with greater value and convenience. In May, Hyperion launched its Vault feature, enabling users to delegate tokens to vault market makers without the complexities of managing dual-token purchases or setting liquidity provider (LP) price ranges. This innovation allows users the chance to earn on-chain yields with minimal intervention.

Building a Unified Liquidity and Trading Layer of Aptos

Looking ahead, Hyperion plans to introduce a Launchpad feature designed to empower innovative asset mint and distribution within the Aptos ecosystem, inject fresh momentum, and expand on-chain asset use cases. The feature leverages Hyperion's position as the leading liquidity hub on Aptos, supported by a vibrant community and a strong partner network.

According to Hyperion's recently published roadmap, the project targets a Token Generation Event (TGE) in Q3 2025, with additional product features planned for release in the second half of the year. These developments will advance Hyperion's vision of building a unified liquidity and trading layer that Aptos needs in order to create a global trading engine.

Looking Forward: Scaling Growth and Deepening Community Engagement

The closing of this strategic funding round marks a pivotal transition for Hyperion-from early-stage development and community building to large-scale growth and ecosystem expansion. The project is now focused on engaging its community through various initiatives and incentives aimed at active users, traders, token holders, and social media participants.

Hyperion invites stakeholders to join its growing community as it builds a robust, user-centric liquidity and trading layer powering the long-term growth of the Aptos ecosystem.
