Hyperdrive, the premier stablecoin money market built for Hyperliquid, is proud to announce a strategic integration with Unit, the decentralized tokenization protocol that brings native assets like BTC and ETH into the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Through this partnership, holders of Unit assets can use their BTC and ETH as collateral on Hyperdrive to borrow USDe and other stablecoins, unlocking new capital efficiency for self-custodial users across HyperEVM.
Since launch, Unit has facilitated over $100 million in BTC and ETH inflows, making Hyperliquid the #1 DEX for native BTC spot volume.
With the Hyperdrive integration, those assets are no longer just tradable — they become productive collateral. Users can:
Borrow stablecoins against native BTC and ETH
Access liquidity without selling their holdings
Use borrowed assets across DeFi applications on HyperEVM
This unlocks a new layer of financial utility and composability for assets historically difficult to deploy in DeFi — especially Bitcoin.
Hyperdrive and Unit together form the foundation of Hyperliquid’s broader vision: to create a fully onchain alternative to centralized finance — one where assets can move, trade, and generate yield without intermediaries.
“This partnership is a major step toward making Hyperliquid the most capital-efficient onchain trading and lending platform in crypto. Unit brings native assets in. Hyperdrive puts them to work.”
