Hyperliquid Team Introduces BLP Feature: Report

There are reports that the Hyperliquid team is trialing a new feature called BLP on its Hypercore testnet. MLM on X believes that the BLP stands for BorrowLendingProtocol, a native borrowing and lending platform. For a start, only USDC and PURR tokens are currently available in the market on the testnet.

Borrow, Supply, and Withdraw With BLP Feature

MLM’s post on X revealed that Hyperliquid may be testing a new feature called BLP, and this is believed to mean BorrowLendingProtocol

According to the on-chain chart shared, only USDC and PURR tokens are currently supported on the testnet. Noteworthy, the new feature allows users to borrow, supply, and withdraw assets on HyperCore

Some crypto enthusiasts are beginning to speculate that this BLP feature could back Hyperliquid’s Multi-Margin system. In the meantime, there are no concrete details to support this claim

However, it is worth noting that the move is significant to boosting Decentralized Finance (DeFi) capabilities within the Hyperliquid protocol. The network will achieve this feat by giving users access to seamless, integrated lending functions.

Cathie Wood did not particularly mention whether her firm will make any direct investment in Hyperliquid. At the same tone, her remarks suggest that the protocol is firmly on ARK’s radar
