The post How USDC expansion via Coinbase can reshape Hyperliquid’s supply dynamics appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
As stablecoins dominate liquidity, Layer1 networks are making strategic moves to capture the flow. Recently, Circle’s USDC, through a partnership between Coinbase and Hyperliquid [HYPE], has emerged as a key catalyst behind this trend. As AMBCrypto previously reported, Coinbase will serve as the official USDC treasury deployer on Hyperliquid, signaling a meaningful shift in HYPE’s stablecoin ecosystem. Notably, the on-chain data and market response reinforce this narrative. According to DeFiLlama, USDC already represents 93% of Hyperliquid’s total stablecoin supply, suggesting the network is rapidly consolidating around a single dominant liquidity base.
