DefiLlama dropped a quiet but massive update today: they're now officially tracking perp volume for markets deployed by @felixprotocol on Hyperliquid.

The numbers are wild — $42.28 million in 30-day perpetual trading volume, with annualized fees and revenue both sitting at $276K. But the real story is in the chart: volume was basically flat for weeks, then absolutely exploded in the last few days, hitting what looks like $15M+ in a single day.

This surge comes right after Hyperliquid flipped the switch on HIP-3, the upgrade that made perp deployments completely permissionless. Felix was one of the first teams to ship with it, launching markets like TSLA-USD, NVDA-USD, and even SPACEX-USD perpetuals.

Yes, you can now trade leveraged bets on Tesla, Nvidia, and SpaceX stock prices directly on-chain, no KYC, no broker, up to 50x on Hyperliquid.

Felix is basically acting as a curated deployer — they propose, launch, and manage these markets via HIP-3, then collect a slice of the trading fees. The fact that their markets alone pulled in over $42M in volume in basically a week shows how hungry traders are for these tokenized RWA perpetuals.

Hyperliquid has already been the undisputed king of on-chain perps (especially for degenerate meme coin trading), but HIP-3 is unlocking a whole new wave: anyone can now spin up a perp for literally any asset. Felix, TradeXYZ, Ventuals, and others wasted no time dropping stock and pre-TGE markets.

The result? A feeding frenzy.

For meme traders, this is huge too — the same platform that lets you 50x long the latest cat coin now lets you do the same on Elon-related stocks or private company tokens. Same orderbook, same liquidity, same insanity.

If you're trading memes or RWAs with leverage, Felix-deployed markets are suddenly one of the hottest corners of Hyperliquid.

The permissionless perp era is just getting started, and Felix is already printing.
