What Kinetiq Staked HYPE is

Kinetiq Staked HYPE (KHYPE) is a liquid-staking / restaking derivative token, currently ranked 49th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Rather than locking assets to stake, holders of Kinetiq Staked HYPE hold a liquid claim on a staked position. That claim earns yield and can be redeployed, which is why liquid-staking tokens became DeFi collateral staples.

How the yield and peg work

Kinetiq Staked HYPE tracks the value of the staked asset plus rewards, so it should trade at or slightly above the underlying. A discount usually signals withdrawal-queue stress or smart-contract risk rather than a broken model.
