Markets by Kinetiq will work with
@HyperliquidX and
@nativemarkets to ensure a seamless transition to USDC for the margin asset for the DEX.
First, credit where it's due: Native Markets pioneered the first production-scale protocol-aligned stablecoin. AQAv2 wouldn't exist without that work, and we were proud to ship it alongside them.
Kinetiq contributed to >50% of USDH growth via $KNTQ and
@Markets_xyz. The fragmentation between USDH <> USDC was completely abstracted on both frontends, desktop and mobile. That same abstraction layer makes the USDC transition invisible to traders.
To traders of km assets, and kmHYPE stakers:
As usual, we'll be over-communicative on the next steps and ultimately this does not affect stake, or $HYPE / $KNTQ buybacks in the slightest. Listings will carry over and expand aggressively.
There is no action required on behalf of traders at this time.
