Funding Rate ETF

The Funding Rate ETF is a fixed-income style product in crypto. Inspired by bond ETFs in traditional finance, it provides investors with a simple, onchain instrument to earn sustainable yield without active management.

What is the Funding Rate ETF?

HYPERMAX offers a single, universal Funding Rate ETF token. This ETF dynamically integrates exposure across major perp pairs on Hyperliquid (BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, and more).

By actively managing allocation across pairs, the ETF is designed to maximize return per unit of risk — delivering stable, attractive yields with minimal complexity for the end user.

  • Historical performance of the strategy on Binance. We expect higher returns on Hyperliquid given its high funding rates to Binance.

  • Also may be eligible for Unit airdrop as we utilize major spot markets enabled by HyperUnit.

Key Features

  • Universal Product — One token integrates funding yield from multiple perp markets.

  • Actively Managed Exposure — Allocation to each asset (BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, etc.) is carefully balanced for optimal risk-adjusted yield.

  • Non-Rebasing Design — The ETF accrues yield by increasing in value over time; token balances remain constant while price appreciates.

  • Onchain Transparency — All allocations and performance are verifiable onchain.

  • Hyperliquid-Native Execution — Trades and hedges executed directly on HyperCore.


Why Funding Rate ETFs?

  • Simple Yield Access — Users just hold the token to earn yield; no need to manage positions or hedge funding exposure.

  • TradFi Analogy — Works like a bond ETF: investors gain exposure to a diversified yield basket through a single tradable token.

  • Risk-Adjusted Returns — Professional management of exposure ensures sustainable performance rather than chasing isolated yields.

  • Liquidity & Accessibility — The Funding Rate ETF will be listed on Hyperliquid’s spot market, with liquidity provided by APs.


How It Works

  1. Vault — The ETF vault manages a diversified portfolio of perp funding exposures.

  2. Trading — Portfolio managers use API/Agent Wallets to balance allocations while keeping custody fully onchain.

  3. Distribution — Authorized Participants (APs) issue ETF shares and provide liquidity on Hyperliquid spot.

  4. User Access — Investors simply buy and hold the ETF token on Hyperliquid to earn yield passively.


Investor Experience

Holding the Funding Rate ETF is as simple as holding a bond ETF in traditional finance:

  • No action needed by holders

  • Yield accrues automatically into token value

  • 24/7 liquidity on Hyperliquid spot markets
