Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan defends the "trustworthy and neutral" stance of its decentralized exchange (DEX), emphasizing that it does not involve private investors, market makers trading, or protocol fees. Previously, its competitor Lighter was criticized for conducting undisclosed airdrops worth millions of dollars to entities such as Jump Trading and a venture capital firm led by Hayden Davis. Despite Yan's adherence to these principles, Hyperliquid's market share has fallen from a peak of 75% in May to below 19%, with its HYPE token trading at approximately $24.8.
