Hyperliquid announced the launch of manual borrowing and lending, allowing users to collateralize HYPE and BTC to borrow assets including USDC and USDT. Borrowers pay interest, while suppliers earn interest at rates determined by utilization. Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan stated that the feature, which shares HyperCore infrastructure with portfolio margin, was designed with a modular architecture to isolate lending risks, enable idle stablecoin collateral to earn interest, and simplify system-wide risk assessment.
