Hyperliquid Strategies Launches PURR Options Trading to Boost Liquidity

Hyperliquid Strategies Inc has introduced options trading for its common stock PURR on the Nasdaq Options Market, aiming to enhance liquidity and improve price discovery. The company said the addition of options gives investors greater flexibility to manage risk while maintaining exposure to its token-focused treasury model.

PURR shares provide capital-efficient exposure to HYPE, which the company actively accumulates through staking, yield optimization, and ecosystem participation to support shareholder value.

HYPE Treasury Strategy and Market Expansion

Chief Executive Officer David Schamis described the launch as a major milestone aligned with rapid growth across the platform’s markets. Trading demand has increased sharply, particularly in oil perpetual contracts and tokenized real-world asset derivatives.

Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 perpetual futures markets tied to tokenized traditional assets recently reached $1.74 billion in aggregated open interest, just six months after launch. The company went public in December through a merger with Sonnet BioTherapeutics.

Financial Performance and Token Holdings

As of early February 2026, Hyperliquid Strategies held 17.6 million HYPE tokens, representing about 1.83% of total supply. The firm reported $616.7 million in total assets at the end of 2025 but recorded a net loss of $317.9 million, largely driven by $262.4 million in unrealized losses linked to token price volatility.

Recent market activity showed HYPE rising 7.37% to $40.25 over 24 hours, with gains nearing 40% over the past 30 days, while PURR shares closed flat at $5.29.
