Is Felix USDhl Safe?
Risk Grade: B (27/100)
Felix USDhl is rated as moderate risk — some novel mechanisms, generally well-understood.
Moderate risk — solid T-bill backing and professional audit provide a good foundation, but yield token dependency and short track record warrant caution.
Felix USDhl is a fiat-backed stablecoin on Hyperliquid, fully collateralized by US Treasury bills through M0 infrastructure. Users earn yield in WHYPE tokens based on their trading and LP activity rather than simply holding the stablecoin. With $20M in TVL and launched in 2025, it is a newer protocol that benefits from professional auditing (Three Sigma) but has limited track record.

Key Risks for Felix USDhl Users
Yield paid in WHYPE tokens, not dollars: Your returns depend on the WHYPE token price, which can be volatile. If WHYPE drops in value, your effective yield could be much less than the advertised rate, even though USDhl itself stays pegged to $1.
New protocol on a new chain: Felix launched in April 2025 on Hyperliquid EVM, which is itself a relatively new blockchain. Both the protocol and the chain have limited battle-testing compared to established alternatives on Ethereum.
Dependent on M0 infrastructure: USDhl is backed by M0 wholesale dollars backed by T-bills. While this is conservative collateral, it adds a dependency on M0's operations, custody, and attestation systems working correctly.
Top Risk Factors
- •USDhl is backed by M0 wholesale dollars collateralized by short-term T-bills, creating dependency on M0 infrastructure for reserve integrity and redemption
- •Yield is distributed as WHYPE tokens rather than native stablecoin returns, exposing users to WHYPE price volatility and Hyperliquid ecosystem risk
- •Protocol launched April 2025 with less than 1 year of track record on a relatively new chain (Hyperliquid EVM), limiting battle-testing
- •Reward allocation reweighted every 2 weeks based on venue activity, creating potential for yield farming concentration in favored venues
