Felix USDhl Review 2026: A Stablecoin Built for Hyperliquid

Felix USDhl is a fiat-style stablecoin made for the Hyperliquid ecosystem, intended as a base asset for HIP-3 markets, FX and payments. It is early and small, and the details that matter most for a stablecoin, such as reserves and audits, are not published.

Our verdict on Felix USDhl

5.8/10

Felix USDhl suits Hyperliquid users who want a dollar stablecoin designed for that ecosystem, particularly those interested in HIP-3 markets, FX or payments. The main strength is its focused purpose and a team with other live products. The main caveat is transparency: reserves, custody, redemption terms and audits are not published in the material reviewed, and liquidity is small. Treat it as an early-stage asset and verify details on the official site before holding more than a trial amount.

What is Felix USDhl?

Felix USDhl is a stablecoin built for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Its description calls it a fiat stable, custom-built to serve as a building block for HIP-3, FX, payments and more. It is listed on Hyperliquid and Ethereum.

It comes from Felix, a team that also runs a CDP stablecoin called feUSD and a lending app. The Felix homepage describes a modern financial account powered by stablecoins, with trading of US spot equities and perpetual futures, yield on stablecoins, and borrowing and lending against spot equities and crypto.

USDhl is still small. Roughly $356,000 in value was locked at the time of review, and it has been tracked since July 2025. It has no token of its own and no audits listed.

How Felix USDhl works

A fiat-style stablecoin aims to keep a value near one US dollar by holding reserves outside the blockchain and letting approved parties redeem tokens for dollars. Felix describes USDhl as a fiat stable, but the material reviewed does not name the reserve assets, custodian or redemption process.

The intended role is on Hyperliquid. HIP-3 lets builders launch new markets on the platform, and those markets need a stable unit of account and collateral. USDhl is meant to fill that role, with FX and payments listed as further uses.

Separately, Felix operates other products. These include a CDP system where users borrow feUSD against collateral such as HYPE, UBTC or KHYPE, and a lending app that works with Morpho. These are distinct from USDhl, though they share the Felix brand and interface.

5 features

Key features

01

Hyperliquid-native stablecoin

USDhl is positioned as a stablecoin designed for use across Hyperliquid, rather than a general-purpose coin ported over from elsewhere.

02

HIP-3 market base asset

It is presented as a building block for HIP-3 markets, which allow additional markets to be created on Hyperliquid.

03

FX and payments use cases

The stated uses include FX and payments, pointing to dollar-denominated settlement rather than only trading collateral.

04

Fiat-style design

It is described as a fiat stable, which generally means it aims to hold a one-dollar peg through off-chain reserves rather than crypto collateral.

05

Part of the Felix suite

The project is part of Felix, which also runs a CDP stablecoin called feUSD and a lending app with monitoring dashboards.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Purpose-built for Hyperliquid and its HIP-3 markets, a clear and specific use case
  • Backed by a team with an existing product line, including feUSD and a lending app
  • Aimed at practical uses such as FX and payments rather than only speculation
  • Listed on both Hyperliquid and Ethereum
  • No separate token to buy in order to use it

Watch out for

  • Reserve composition, custodian and redemption terms for USDhl are not set out in the material reviewed, so the backing is hard to verify
  • No audits are listed for the product
  • Small footprint, with roughly $356,000 in value locked, so liquidity may be thin compared with established stablecoins
  • Tied to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, so demand and risk depend on that single venue
  • No token and little published detail on fees, team or governance
  • Fiat-style stablecoins carry issuer, banking and regulatory risk that onchain-only designs avoid

Felix USDhl fees

Fees for minting, redeeming or holding USDhl are not published in the material reviewed. Anyone considering it should check the Felix site and app for mint and redemption terms.

On Hyperliquid, normal network and trading costs would apply when moving or swapping the stablecoin. Rates on the related lending and yield products are shown inside the Felix apps rather than on a fixed schedule.

Is Felix USDhl safe?

No audits are listed for USDhl, and the material reviewed does not name the reserve holder, the custodian or the redemption mechanics. For a fiat-style stablecoin these are the central facts, so their absence is a real gap. Holders rely on the issuer's reserves and on the smart contracts behaving as intended.

The broader Felix brand has been associated with partners such as Morpho and Ethena, according to one research write-up, but that does not make USDhl itself audited or insured. Check the official site for current disclosures, and only hold amounts you can afford to lose. Regulatory treatment of stablecoins varies by country, so confirm what applies to you.

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Confirm online access and stablecoin products are permitted where you live.

  3. 3

    Set up a wallet that supports Hyperliquid and fund it with the gas asset you need.

  4. 4

    Start with a small amount to check how the stablecoin is acquired and redeemed.

  5. 5

  6. 6

    Keep an eye on the peg and on liquidity before increasing your position.

Who Felix USDhl is for

Hyperliquid traders and builders who need a dollar-denominated asset tailored to that ecosystem, and who are comfortable doing their own checks on reserves and redemption. It is less suited to users who need audited, deeply liquid, widely integrated stablecoins.

Felix USDhl FAQs

What is Felix USDhl?

USDhl is described as a fiat stable custom-built for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. It is meant to serve as a building block for HIP-3 markets, FX, payments and similar uses.

Which chains does USDhl run on?

Felix lists it on Hyperliquid and Ethereum. The Hyperliquid link is the core of the design, since the stablecoin is aimed at that ecosystem.

Is USDhl audited?

The project does not publish an audit for it in the material reviewed, and no audits are listed. Felix's other products, such as its CDP and lending apps, are separate from USDhl, so their track record does not transfer automatically.

Does USDhl have a token or airdrop?

No token is listed for USDhl. Felix has other products, including the feUSD stablecoin and a lending app, and public reporting mentions an airdrop campaign tied to those. Treat airdrop claims from third parties with caution.

What else does Felix offer?

The wider Felix homepage describes a financial account powered by stablecoins. It mentions trading US spot equities and perpetual futures, earning yield on stablecoins, and borrowing against or lending spot US equities and crypto.

Is USDhl safe to hold?

Not necessarily. Stablecoin risk comes from reserves, redemption, issuer conduct and smart contracts, and these are not detailed here. Check the official site for current reserve and redemption information before holding meaningful amounts.
