Data gathered by Hyperliquid France places OnlyFans third at $37.6 million, while established tech companies trail considerably with Nvidia at $3.6 million, Apple at $2.4 million, and Meta at $2.2 million per employee.
The trading volume dominance occurs amid institutional adoption of crypto derivatives products, with Hyperliquid capturing market share from centralized exchanges and traditional trading platforms.
