$TREE 🌳 Treehouse Just Launched Its Third Liquid Staking Token on Hyperliquid — And an Institutional Whale Deployed 800,000 AVAX Into It Days Later
Treehouse (TREE) is quietly building DeFi's fixed-income backbone, one tAsset at a time. On May 22, 2026, the protocol launched tHYPE — its third liquid staking token, following tETH and tAVAX — bringing Treehouse's staking infrastructure directly to Hyperliquid users, letting them earn staking yield while keeping the asset fully liquid for lending markets or collateral elsewhere in DeFi. Just five days later, institutional firm AVAX One deployed over 800,000 AVAX into Treehouse's liquid staking — a serious vote of confidence that signaled real institutional validation rather than retail speculation. The momentum kept building: on May 13, Treehouse secured an $18 million fundraise specifically to expand its fixed-income protocol during a broader crypto market pullback — capital raised while most projects were retreating, not expanding.
