Hyperliquid News Today: DeFi Wallets Transform: Shifting from Simple Storage to Reliable Allies

The need for more intelligent wallets in DeFi is becoming increasingly urgent as the industry contends with the nonstop price fluctuations of crypto markets. Current wallet models lack built-in automated risk controls, leaving users exposed to abrupt market movements—a vulnerability made clear by incidents such as the

UST meltdown, as referenced in . This issue is fueling new developments, with growing TVL and strategic alliances pointing toward a future with more automated protections.

A recent partnership between Hyperion DeFi and Felix protocol illustrates this shift. Through a HYPE Asset Use Service (HAUS) agreement, Hyperion is allocating 500,000 HYPE tokens to back a tailored on-chain perpetual futures market using Hyperliquid's HIP-3 system. This collaboration is designed to generate fee income and broaden Hyperliquid’s offerings. Felix, which surpassed $1 billion in TVL in September 2025, intends to incorporate this system into its Felix Exchange, opening up new yield opportunities, according to

.

At the same time, Bitget Wallet’s adoption of HyperEVM is making cross-chain operations more efficient and lowering the barriers for new users. The latest update enables smooth asset transfers through deBridge and provides $HYPE gas-fee incentives. By making multi-chain usage easier, Bitget seeks to make DeFi’s advanced infrastructure—such as perpetual trading and sophisticated modules—more accessible, as reported by

.

The pursuit of safer returns is also transforming the DeFi ecosystem. Protocols focused on risk management, which emphasize capital protection through stablecoin lending and hedged strategies, have reached $9.86 billion in TVL as of October 2025. This surge shows that investors are gravitating toward lower-risk options during volatile periods, like the 81% rapid drop in Figure’s Heloc token, according to

. These protocols typically offer annual yields of 4-6% on stable assets, standing in contrast to the higher risks of leveraged farming.

Supporters of automation believe DeFi wallets should transition from passive storage to active management tools. Brian Huang, Glider’s co-founder, stresses the importance of implementing rule-based actions to shield users from market volatility. “Just as stop-losses and auto-rebalancing are standard in traditional finance, DeFi wallets need to let users set their own risk rules,” he notes. Without these features, investors must constantly monitor their positions, leading to fatigue.

Solana’s network further highlights the value of automation. In 2025, its DeFi TVL exceeded $10 billion, propelled by protocols like

and Marinade. With more institutional players joining, Solana’s upgrades—delivering sub-second transaction times—demonstrate the network’s readiness for smarter automation.

Some critics caution that automation might bring back centralized risks, but advocates argue that transparency and user autonomy are preserved. Systems based on user-defined rules, similar to robo-advisors in traditional finance, empower users to set and modify their own parameters without losing control. Striking this balance is essential for DeFi to expand beyond its current specialized user base, where manual management is still the norm.

As DeFi evolves, the adoption of automated risk controls is likely to be key to mainstream acceptance. The sector’s momentum—evident in new partnerships, rising TVL, and regulatory developments like Trump’s nomination of pro-crypto CFTC chair Michael Selig—suggests a wave of innovation ahead. The next stage for DeFi will be wallets that serve as reliable partners, not just storage solutions.
