Overview
Native Markets builds foundational DeFi infrastructure, starting with USDH, a stablecoin native to the Hyperliquid blockchain. USDH is issued to users and fully backed 1:1 by cash and U.S. treasury equivalents, with a hybrid reserve model that uses BlackRock for off-chain assets and on-chain tokenized treasuries via Bridge and Superstate. The stablecoin is designed to be used within the Hyperliquid platform, and the reserves generate yield that supports Hyperliquid's governance token and future expansion, helping to reduce reliance on external asset bridges. The company differentiates itself by making USDH native to its ecosystem, aligning its revenue and growth with Hyperliquid's adoption while pursuing institutional credibility and security. Its goal is to provide a secure, seamless entry point into digital asset markets and to grow the Hyperliquid platform through the stability and yield of USDH.
