Hyperliquid received its first $14.58 million USDC payment under the AQAv2 framework, covering a 30-day period. The payment gives HYPE buybacks a funding source beyond trading fees.
Why it matters
AQAv2 shares roughly 90% of cost-adjusted reserve yield generated on USDC supply with the protocol. That share is routed to Hyperliquid’s Assistance Fund, which purchases HYPE.
Market impact
The first payment establishes that reserve yield is flowing through the mechanism to fund buybacks. The $14.58 million payment reflects one 30-day period; the framework ties future funding to cost-adjusted yield generated on USDC supply.
