Vibhu, the Solana Foundation’s Chief Product Officer, said it was "very ironic" that, in the same week, critics referred to as "DOT HLS" accused Solana of having "kingmade" a perpetual futures (crypto derivatives without expiry) product through a social media post, while Hyperliquid allegedly "absolutely & definitively kingmade a specific stablecoin." The post presents a direct criticism of Hyperliquid’s market influence and frames the debate around whether public endorsements or attention from major crypto platforms can significantly shape adoption of trading products or digital assets.
