Paxos has announced plans to launch a Hyperliquid-first stablecoin, USDH, designed to redirect yield into HYPE token buybacks, as part of a broader strategy to strengthen the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
The proposal aims to enhance ecosystem growth, impact decentralized finance markets, and shift liquidity dynamics, signaling substantial innovation in stablecoin utilization and regulatory alignment.

Paxos Launches USDH for Hyperliquid’s Expansion
Paxos proposes a new USDH stablecoin designed to support the Hyperliquid ecosystem. The plan allocates most of its yield to HYPE token buybacks.
Paxos and its subsidiary, Paxos Labs, plan to launch a Hyperliquid-first stablecoin targeting ecosystem growth. This follows Molecular Labs’ acquisition, providing critical insights into Hyperliquid’s design.
USDH to Challenge USDC and USDT Dominance
The proposal could reshape stablecoin usage within Hyperliquid by reducing reliance on competitors like USDC and USDT. Industry observers note this move aligns with broader DeFi directives aimed at ecosystem consolidation.
The financial impact includes reallocating USDH yields to HYPE buybacks, potentially increasing the HYPE token’s value. Regulatory alignment with U.S. and E.U. frameworks supports robust institutional adoption.
“We propose the launch of USDH, a Hyperliquid-first, fully compliant stablecoin purpose built to drive adoption, align incentives, and anchor the ecosystem’s next era of growth.” – Official Announcement
Buyback Models and DeFi Ecosystem Growth
Stablecoin strategies like Maker’s DAI and Aave’s GHO have previously enhanced ecosystem liquidity and self-reliance. Such precedents suggest a potential rise in protocol TVL and governance engagement.
Historical trends indicate that buyback models can elevate governance token prices. Experts suggest long-term success depends on yield sustainability and adherence to regulatory guidelines.
