Hyperliquid’s Secret Weapon? OKX Founder Points to Its Order-Matching Design

OKX founder Star Xu has praised Hyperliquid’s design as a digital asset exchange compared with centralized platforms across several features. The project’s growth has continued, with recent adoption spikes amid a slow crypto market. In an interview on the New Era Finance Podcast, the OKX executive praised the setup as more market-maker-friendly and echoed current user sentiment as the platform builds traction. Its block-by-block order handling, rather than individual orders, makes it more seamless than centralized counterparts. Notably, market makers can cancel orders before takers, creating more use cases for multiple traders.
