The Hyperliquid ecosystem comes to Dubai
TOKEN2049 Dubai is one of the most important weeks in crypto — and in 2026, Hyperliquid will have its own room.
HYPE Dubai is a curated side event bringing together the people actually building and trading on Hyperliquid. While 15,000+ attendees fill the city for TOKEN2049, we're carving out a space for the ecosystem to connect, share alpha, and have real conversations — away from the noise.
April 28, 2026 — Dubai, UAE.
Venue and full program dropping soon.
Why Dubai, why now
Dubai has become one of the most active crypto hubs in the world — a city where founders, funds, and trading desks operate from the same timezone. The Middle East concentration of on-chain capital is growing fast, and Hyperliquid's high-performance perp infrastructure is exactly what this market runs on.
TOKEN2049 Dubai draws the highest density of serious market participants outside of Singapore. For the Hyperliquid ecosystem, it's the right room, at the right moment.
Who is HYPE Dubai for
→ Builders shipping on HyperEVM — teams deploying DeFi protocols, trading tools, and infrastructure on Hyperliquid's L1
→ Traders and market makers — the people behind the $5B+ daily volume that makes Hyperliquid what it is
→ Protocol and infrastructure teams — oracles, bridges, wallets, and tooling already integrated or building toward integration
→ Funds and investors — looking to source deal flow from the most active DeFi ecosystem in crypto
This is not a general crypto networking event. It's Hyperliquid-native, by design.
About Hype Global
Hype Global is the event platform for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. We started with HLH Seoul 2025 — the first in-person Hyperliquid hackathon — which brought 200 builders, 60 teams, and $40K in prizes together during Korea Blockchain Week. Jeff, CEO of Hyperliquid Labs, was in the room.
HYPE Dubai is part of a 2026 global series: Cannes (March 31), Dubai (April 28), and our flagship annual hackathon in Singapore.
