$30M A MONTH PER HYPERLIQUID EMPLOYEE ? 💲😎
Hyperliquid Labs is pulling 3.75M HYPE out of staking - that's around $329M
This is the team's October payout, and the whole batch is going to a single institutional investor via OTC - a private deal, off-exchange. Nothing hits the open market
The core team is reportedly 11 people. Do the math and it's almost $30M per person - for one month 👀
To be fair, this isn't a "salary" - it's vested tokens the team earned years ago, unlocking in monthly chunks. But the scale is still insane
On top of that, the team reportedly skipped the September payout, so this is basically two months going around the order book at once
But the important stuff wasn't disclosed: who the buyer is, at what price, and whether there's any lock-up on selling
Here's the useful part: unstaking on Hyperliquid takes 7 days. So any big move by the team shows up on-chain a full week before the tokens actually become liquid
