Lion Group Holding (LGHL), a Nasdaq-listed company, launches a $600 million cryptocurrency treasury reserve with the main asset being the Hyperliquid (HYPE) token.
The company receives funding from ATW Partners to open the LGHL HYPE Treasury and engage in blockchain initiatives.
Lion Group plans to strategically accumulate HYPE tokens and add Solana (SOL) and Sui (SUI) to the treasury mix for a next-generation crypto treasury.
BitGo will provide security for the assets in the treasury, enabling safe and compliant crypto custody of Solana and Sui.
CEO Wilson Wang sees HYPE and layer-1 chains as the future of trading, aligning with LGHL's work on derivatives and decentralized market systems.
LGHL aims to blend public markets with decentralized finance, exploring the possibility of secondary listings on Asian stock exchanges like TSE and SGX.
BitGo CEO Mike Belshe supports the initiative, highlighting the growing interest of institutional investors in blockchain assets.
LGHL aims to attract long-term investors by leveraging decentralized finance protocols and strengthening its position in the digital asset space through its treasury.
The move by Lion Group into the digital asset sector signifies a trend towards incorporating altcoins and decentralized technologies in institutional financial planning.
