According to Digital Asset, Hyperliquid launched the AQAv2 (Aligned Quote Asset v2) mechanism on August 26, allocating a portion of the returns generated by USDC reserves on the platform toward capital accumulation, which will ultimately be directed to the Assistance Fund for secondary market repurchases and burns of HYPE to reduce its circulating supply. Under this mechanism, Circle is responsible for USDC technical deployment, while Coinbase handles reserve management; stablecoin issuers are expected to share approximately 90% of the relevant reserve returns with the protocol after deducting operating costs. Returns are accumulated on a 30-day cycle, with the initial fund transfer expected on October 3. Market estimates indicate that, based on current USDC outstanding balances and yield rates, annualized returns could reach $135 million to $160 million, although the actual repurchase scale will ultimately depend on the platform's USDC supply and reserve yields.
