Odaily reported that Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan and his team members recently participated in an exclusive interview with Colossos magazine. During the interview, Jeff revealed that in January 2024, he had talks with potential investors. At the time, Jeff made it clear that he would only consider investment terms with a valuation of 1 billion USD. When an investor accepted this valuation, Jeff spent a weekend seriously reflecting, but ultimately decided to decline. Hyperliquid's other co-founder, iliensinc (who manages the funds), and other team members found it difficult to accept at the time. Iliensinc had already engaged in two weeks of fundraising negotiations with investors. When Jeff called the fund, they could hardly believe it, thinking he must have accepted terms from another institution. Jeff replied with an analogy: "Hyperliquid is not a company, but a protocol. 'Neutrality' has been the central concept from the very beginning. If Bitcoin had raised venture capital back in the day, it wouldn't be what it is today—the entire value proposition would have been destroyed." For more details, refer to "Hyperlife by Jeff Yan".
