Hyperliquid reportedly rejected a $1 billion investment term from a certain VC in early 2024.

Odaily reported that Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan and his team members recently participated in an exclusive interview with Colossos magazine.

During the interview, Jeff revealed that in January 2024, he had talks with potential investors. At the time, Jeff made it clear that he would only consider investment terms with a valuation of 1 billion USD. When an investor accepted this valuation, Jeff spent a weekend seriously reflecting, but ultimately decided to decline.

Hyperliquid's other co-founder, iliensinc (who manages the funds), and other team members found it difficult to accept at the time. Iliensinc had already engaged in two weeks of fundraising negotiations with investors. When Jeff called the fund, they could hardly believe it, thinking he must have accepted terms from another institution.

Jeff replied with an analogy: "Hyperliquid is not a company, but a protocol. 'Neutrality' has been the central concept from the very beginning. If Bitcoin had raised venture capital back in the day, it wouldn't be what it is today—the entire value proposition would have been destroyed."

For more details, refer to "Hyperlife by Jeff Yan".

Hyperliquid founder Jeff was once followed into an elevator, after which he relocated both his office and residence and hired bodyguards.

Odaily reported that Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan recently gave an exclusive interview to Colossos magazine. During the interview, Jeff and another co-founder of the company, iliensinc, discussed issues related to personal safety.

iliensinc revealed that Jeff is the only member of the team who does not use a pseudonym. Hyperliquid’s office was initially located in a co-working space in the financial district, but as Jeff’s reputation grew, public attention towards them increased. At first, there were just people watching, some trying to recognize Jeff’s face; later, strangers began approaching and striking up conversations; eventually, someone followed him into the elevator of his apartment building. As a result, Hyperliquid moved to a quieter location—a building where no one would think to look for them.

Jeff himself also moved to a safer residence, hired bodyguards, and is accompanied by two private security personnel whenever he goes out. iliensinc regularly trains team members on how to respond if strangers ask about their place of work.

Institution: TSMC's first quarter performance is expected to be strong and in line with expectations

Glonghui, April 14 — Bernstein analysts stated in a research report that TSMC is likely to announce strong first-quarter results, in line with market expectations. They noted that the production capacity released by Qualcomm and MediaTek mobile chips should be easily filled by AI chips. They pointed out that energy costs may rise due to Middle East conflicts, but not immediately, adding that there is upside risk to TSMC’s second-quarter profit margin forecast. They explained that since electricity costs account for only a low single-digit percentage of TSMC’s revenues, TSMC should be able to easily raise prices and pass on any increase in electricity costs to its customers. Bernstein believes that although the ongoing chip shortage gives investors hope for another capital expenditure increase, given the ongoing Middle East conflict, TSMC might maintain its capital expenditure outlook this earnings season.
