Citing ChainThink, HyENA announced on August 28 that it will gradually shut down all markets and has no plans to launch a token. The platform, built by the Based team on Hyperliquid's HIP-3 standard and supported by Ethena’s USDe, enabled traders to earn yield on idle margin for perpetual contracts. With over $4 billion in trading volume and 12,000 traders served, the closure follows a shift in competitive dynamics after Hyperliquid aligned with USDC. Markets will be delisted between August 31 and September 2, with positions settled at the final mark price and margin returned. HLPe deposits and rewards can be claimed 1:1 via Upshift after a one-day redemption period. The final reward distribution is scheduled for August 27, with affiliate rewards on September 9. HyENA has no token and no plans to issue one. Traders are advised to monitor altcoins as market sentiment and the Fear & Greed Index evolve.

ChainThink reports that on August 28, according to an official announcement, HyENA has declared it will gradually shut down all markets and has no plans to issue a token.

Previously built on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 standard by the Based team, Ethena’s USDe enables traders to earn yield on idle margin used for perpetual contracts and return it to the community.

Since launch, we have processed over $4 billion in trading volume, served over 12,000 traders, and distributed nearly 2.5 million USDe in rewards.

HyENA stated that the closure is due to a shift in the competitive landscape following Hyperliquid’s strategic alignment with USDC, which has limited the growth potential for USDe margin on the platform. User funds are not at risk.

Schedule: The market will be gradually delisted between August 31 and September 2, with one market closing each hour. Positions will be automatically settled at the final funding price, and margin will be returned to your spot balance.

HLPe deposits and accumulated rewards can be claimed for free on Upshift at a 1:1 ratio, subject to a one-day redemption period; the final reward distribution date is August 27, and alliance rewards will be distributed on September 9.

HyENA does not have a token and has no plans to issue one.
