Hyperliquid led all blockchain platforms with $72.3M profit in May, surpassing TRON, Ethereum, and other established networks.
Following a $13.5M March exploit, Hyperliquid vault TVL jumped 156% to $418M by June, aided by renewed user confidence.
Trader James Wynn’s high-volume trading showcased platform liquidity and helped restore trust after the exploit setback.
Hyperliquid recorded the highest gross profit among blockchain networks in May 2025, reporting $72.3 million in monthly earnings. This figure exceeded TRON’s $58.3 million and Ethereum’s $21.8 million, according to data published by CryptoRank.io. The platform has positioned itself ahead of several legacy competitors in both revenue and market activity.
The platform's profitability comes just two months after a major exploit in March, when Hyperliquid suffered a $13.5 million loss from manipulated price feeds in its JELLY market. The protocol responded with a forced market settlement at a sharply reduced price, leading to a short-term collapse in trust. TVL on the platform fell to $150 million, and the HYPE token dropped by 20 percent.
Vault Growth Signals Confidence
By early June, Hyperliquid’s internal vault saw a significant capital increase. The vault’s total value locked rose from $163 million in April to $418 million, reflecting a 156 percent growth. The vault currently offers a 13.69 percent annual yield, outperforming many competitors in the DeFi space. Data from DefiLlama confirmed this rapid TVL rise.

Notable derivatives trader James Wynn played a visible role in the network’s resurgence. His high-volume positions, exceeding $100 million, demonstrated Hyperliquid’s strength in handling liquidity without major slippage. Wynn’s activity drew new user interest, helping restore trust after the exploit and improving on-chain activity.
Rivals Fall Behind
In contrast, other major chains posted lower May profits. Base registered $5.8 million, Solana posted $4.7 million, and BNB Chain reported $1.5 million. Arbitrum and Internet Computer followed with under $1 million each. These figures indicate that newer, specialized platforms like Hyperliquid are gaining momentum in decentralized finance.
The shift in profitability rankings signals growing market traction for platforms prioritizing liquidity and yield efficiency. Hyperliquid’s May performance underlines its capability to rebound from security setbacks and re-establish operational strength. Its rising TVL and improved trading volumes suggest it may continue to compete closely with established chains.
