Eyenovia Adds $10 Million in HYPE to its Treasury Holdings in Preparation for Strategic Onchain Engagement
LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ:EYEN) ("Eyenovia" or the "Company"), a pioneer in ophthalmic technologies and the first publicly-listed U.S. company to build a strategic treasury of HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid protocol, today announced that it has acquired an additional 265,872 HYPE tokens, expanding its total holdings to 1,306,452 HYPE purchased at an average price of $34.83 per token.
"We continue to see strong signals from the market and prospective partners affirming the importance of HYPE's role in next-generation financial infrastructure," said Hyunsu Jung, Chief Investment Officer of Eyenovia. "This latest token acquisition reflects our deepening commitment to the Hyperliquid network and our long-term conviction in its potential to redefine onchain finance."
The additional holdings are expected to support the Company's participation in ecosystem growth initiatives, including its own validator operations and upcoming opportunities to generate yield at the protocol level.
About the Hyperliquid Platform and the HYPE Token
Hyperliquid is a layer one blockchain (L1) optimized from the ground up for high frequency, transparent trading. The blockchain includes fully onchain perpetual futures and spot order books, with every order, cancel, trade, and liquidation occurring within 70 millisecond block times. It also hosts the HyperEVM, a general-purpose smart contract platform that, like Ethereum, supports permissionless decentralized financial applications.
HYPE is the native token of Hyperliquid. Staked HYPE in particular provides utility for users via reduced trading fees and increased referral bonuses. Circulating HYPE is autonomously purchased and sequestered by the blockchain itself with the trading fees generated on the network's order books. As of June 2025, more than 25 million HYPE has been sequestered by this mechanism, and the token has become the 12th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
About Eyenovia, Inc.
Eyenovia, Inc. is a pioneering digital ophthalmic technology company and the first U.S. publicly listed company building a long-term strategic treasury of Hyperliquid's native token, HYPE. With this dual focus, Eyenovia continues to aim to execute on its vision to revolutionize topical eye treatment while providing its shareholders with simplified access to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, one of the fastest growing, highest revenue-generating blockchains in the world. Eyenovia's new strategy is designed to allow shareholders to benefit from a gradually compounding exposure to HYPE, both from its native staking yield and additional revenues generated from its unique on-chain utility.
Eyenovia is also developing its proprietary Optejet User Filled Device (UFD) that is designed to work with a variety of topical ophthalmic liquids, including artificial tears and lens rewetting products. The Optejet is especially useful in chronic front-of-the-eye diseases due to its ease of use, enhanced safety and tolerability, and potential for superior compliance versus standard eye drops. Together, these benefits may result in higher treatment compliance and better outcomes for patients and providers.
