We are delighted to announce the launch of HYPE Staking and Earnings, providing millions of customers with an easy way to earn rewards on their Hyperliquid holdings. No validators to run, no technical setup, and no maintenance. Customers can start earning in just a few clicks, on a platform designed for security, scalability and reliability.
This service offers three ways to earn: Bonded Staking offers rewards up to 2.2% APY, while Auto Earn and Flexible Staking each offer up to 1.1% APY. Rewards are automatically reinvested to help grow holdings over time.
We manage all underlying infrastructure, including validation operations and reward distribution. All backed by our experience operating staking services on large-scale proof-of-stake networks.
“Staking HYPE often means locking tokens, and we didn’t think holders should have to choose between earning rewards and keeping their tokens accessible. With Auto Earn and Flexible Staking, rewards accumulate while HYPE remains liquid. And for customers who want to maximize their rewards, Bonded Staking offers returns comparable to on-chain HYPE staking, without any of the complexity,” said John Zettler, Chief Product Officer at Kraken Earn & Trade.
HYPE Earn is available globally upon launch, including the US (excluding New York and Maine), UK, EU, Australia and other markets.
Expanding the set of assets that customers can stake, such as HYPE, is a key part of Kraken’s growth strategy. The increased functionality of product lines like Earn allows customer balances to support multiple economic uses over time, keeping assets on the platform. This improves capital efficiency and generates an increasing share of asset-based revenues that are less sensitive to volatility in trading volumes.
Geographic restrictions apply. The projected annual rate is an estimate based on average staking rewards accrued over the past period, before commission, and is subject to change. Staking involves risks, including no guarantee of reward, potential loss due to discounts or hacks, and depreciation of asset value upon staking. Please refer to Kraken’s Terms of Use for more information. For flexible staking, Kraken will only stake a portion of your assets. You will receive rewards up to 50% of the assets you choose to stake.
