Is Hyperliquid the new Solana? Cathie Wood said Hyperliquid "reminds me of Solana in the earlier days." The comparison stuck, and on the surface it looks right. Here's what the data actually shows. Solana is a general-purpose blockchain built to host everything: DeFi, NFTs, gaming, memecoins. Hyperliquid is a purpose-built trading chain with a single application, on-chain perpetuals, with order-book performance rivaling centralized exchanges. Hyperliquid generated $844M in protocol revenue in 2025 from that one application. Solana generated $1.3B from hundreds. Where the comparison breaks down: Solana's recovery after FTX was a culture story. Memecoins, NFTs, and gaming gave retail users reasons to stay that had nothing to do with efficiency. Hyperliquid has 100,000 weekly users trading $50 billion in volume, almost entirely serious traders. No memecoins, no games. It hasn't built that same cultural layer yet.
