# Introducing HyperTrend

#### HyperTrend is a platform for tokenized hedge funds, bringing trillions of institutional capital on-chain, accruing the value to $TREND token holders

HyperTrend operates DeFI trading vaults that offer extremely high yield automated trading strategies on the HyperEVM. 

$TREND token receives a 20% share of the trading profits from HyperTrend vaults. $TREND token also benefits from additional revenue from onboarding other Hedge funds into on-chain vaults.

Think of a HyperTrend vault as a hedge fund run by a smart contract on the hyperliquid blockchain. Onboarding, redemption, fees, proof-of-funds, reporting, auditing and trade execution at HFT speed are all handled by an ERC 4626 vault on the HyperEVM blockchain.

When you deposit to a HyperTrend vault, TLP tokens are minted, and these represent proportional ownership of vault assets.

Unlike other passive yield strategies that rely on lending, staking or basis capture, HyperTrend uses quantitative strategies from the Hedge Fund world to deliver returns averaging 50%+ APY. We aren’t reinventing the wheel. These are well understood trading strategies that have worked in stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies for over 50 years in every market in the world.&#x20;

Every transaction we make can be verified in real-time, on-chain, by our audited (by Zellic) smart contract. Furthermore, HyperTrend automates the entire process. Everything from deposits, fees, withdrawals, proof-of-funds, auditable reports and trade execution.&#x20;

This automation eliminates the overhead in providing institutional level asset management.&#x20;

The team targets long term risk adjusted returns approximately Sharpe 2.5, with annualized absolute performance in a range of 35-100% depending on market conditions..&#x20;

HyperTrend provides the highest stablecoin returns in DeFi, because we are taking smart trades with edge.
