Eyenovia to acquire $50M in HYPE tokens, rebrand as Hyperion DeFi, and appoint Hyunsu Jung CIO under new crypto treasury strategy

Eyenovia, a Nasdaq-listed ophthalmic technology company, has adopted a new corporate crypto treasury strategy centered on Hyperliquid’s native token HYPE and a planned rebrand to Hyperion DeFi. The company entered into a $50 million private placement (PIPE) securities purchase agreement with institutional accredited investors, issuing non‑voting convertible preferred stock and warrants priced at $3.25 per share to fund the acquisition of more than 1 million HYPE tokens. This would make Eyenovia the first U.S.-based publicly listed company to hold HYPE in its treasury and one of the top globally active validators on the Hyperliquid blockchain. Under this strategy, Eyenovia expects to change its corporate name to Hyperion DeFi and its ticker symbol to HYPD, reflecting a dual identity as both a digital ophthalmic technology business and a crypto-focused treasury and validator operator. The company has appointed Hyunsu Jung as Chief Investment Officer and a member of the board to lead the digital asset initiative, with the HYPE reserve intended to support validator operations, staking yield opportunities, and broader ecosystem participation on Hyperliquid. While Eyenovia continues development of its Optejet ophthalmic platform, the HYPE-focused treasury strategy represents a significant pivot toward integrating DeFi infrastructure exposure into the balance sheet of a regulated, exchange‑listed U.S. issuer.
