Hyperliquid’s planned native stablecoin, USDH, is attracting intense competition as two major players—real-world asset tokenization platform OpenEden and crypto infrastructure provider BitGo—entered the race. With eight bidders now vying for control, the upcoming validator vote, starting Thursday and running until Sunday, could significantly shape the future of Hyperliquid’s $5.9 billion stablecoin reserves.
OpenEden’s Ambitious Proposal
OpenEden, led by CEO Jeremy Ng, outlined a strategy that aims to maximize benefits for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. The platform intends to channel all yield from USDH reserves toward buybacks, HYPE token distribution, and validator incentives. Additionally, 3% of OpenEden’s native EDEN tokens are set aside to further motivate participation.

The USDH reserves would be secured in a tokenized US Treasury Bills Fund under the custody of The Bank of New York Mellon, while partnerships with Chainlink, AEON Pay, and Monarq Asset Management aim to ensure widespread adoption and transparency.
BitGo Leverages Regulatory Strength
BitGo is positioning itself as the compliance-focused bidder. The company plans to use US dollar-backed liquid assets, bank deposits, and short-term treasury bills for USDH minting and redemption. BitGo will employ Chainlink’s cross-chain interoperability protocol to maintain seamless asset movement across networks.
Highlighting its regulatory pedigree, BitGo noted that six of its subsidiaries hold licenses in Dubai, Singapore, Denmark, New York, and Germany, presenting itself as a safe and compliant choice for managing Hyperliquid’s stablecoin reserves.

Native Markets Takes Early Lead
Despite the new entrants, Native Markets currently leads the vote count with 33.73% of delegate support. Its proposal splits reserve proceeds between HYPE token buybacks and the Assistance Fund, though the approach has sparked community debate. Paxos Labs trails at 11.52%, while 46.49% of votes remain undecided, leaving the final outcome uncertain. Market sentiment largely favors Native Markets, with a Polymarket poll showing 90% of participants expecting its victory.
The USDH stablecoin bid underscores the growing importance of transparency, yield management, and regulatory compliance in the crypto sector. As Hyperliquid validators finalize their votes, the decision will not only determine which platform manages $5.9 billion in reserves but also set the tone for future decentralized finance initiatives.
