Aptos's leading decentralized exchange (DEX) Hyperion announced the completion of a strategic funding round, led by OKX Ventures, with follow-on investments from Aptos Labs, Maelstrom (Arthur Hayes family office), and Mirana Ventures.

This funding round closely follows Hyperion's announcement of surpassing $100 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) yesterday, just months after its mainnet launch, demonstrating strong growth momentum. Leveraging Aptos's high-performance parallel execution engine, Hyperion integrates trade aggregation, centralized liquidity market making (CLMM), dynamic liquidity market making (DLMM), and Vault strategies to create a seamless and efficient unified on-chain trading platform.

The funds from this round will be used to expand protocol adoption, optimize the decentralized trading experience, and drive product feature launches, including Launchpad functionality and the Token Generation Event (TGE) in the third quarter of 2025, accelerating the construction of Aptos's unified liquidity and trading layer.
