Hyperdrive launches Leverage Markets to address structural instability and cascading liquidations in crypto trading. Summary Hyperdrive launches Leverage Markets to tackle crypto’s long-standing liquidation and volatility risks. The new model replaces real-time price feeds with redemption-based collateral values to prevent cascades. Built for tokenized treasuries and LSTs, Hyperdrive aims to make on-chain leverage more stable and usable. Today, Hyperdrive announced the launch of its Leverage Markets, designed to combat the structural risks that make leverage on cryptoassets unstable.  Crypto leverage relies on real-time market pricing and continuous liquidity. That architecture creates extreme volatility, which may trigger forced and cascading liquidations. The fragile nature of on-chain leverage has resulted in the reluctance of traders to use credit, one of the fundamental drivers of economic expansion and growth.  Hyperdrive’s Leverage Markets protocol says it removes these vulnerabilities by designing leverage around known redemption prices rather than fluctuating market values. The goal is to create leverage that works more than structural credit than margin trading, with no crashes or no liquidations. The protocol has emerged at a time when over $180 billion in tokenized treasuries and private credit are live, but can’t be used as collateral safely in existing lending protocols, more than $50 billion in LSTs (stETH, rETH, HYPED etc.) need better capital efficiency than current 70% LTVs allow, and TradFi players need leverage that doesn’t blow up during volatility Traditional crypto leverage (Aave, Compound, Morpho) values collateral using real-time market prices. When prices drop, liquidators must sell collateral into thin markets, often triggering cascades that wipe out entire positions. Hyperdrive’s model operates differently. Instead of finding out what a token is worth on a DEX at a particular moment, it…
