INFINIT launches institutional trading vaults on Hyperliquid allowing users to deposit USDC with vetted traders, with its APEX vault achieving 34.5% returns over two months.
DeFi & Yields ·
INFINIT has launched institutional-grade trading vaults on Hyperliquid, enabling retail investors to allocate USDC to vetted strategy managers who execute trades on their behalf. The platform's first vault, APEX, generated 34.5% returns between August 11 and October 8—outpacing Bitcoin's 27% gain during that window by 7.5 percentage points. Depositors receive receipt tokens representing their share and gain access to weekly performance reports and transparent trading activity; funds remain locked during the vault's term and are redeemable in USDC afterward.
The vaults operate on INFINIT OS, infrastructure that combines manager screening, risk controls, and segregated trading permissions—strategy managers can execute positions but cannot withdraw depositor capital. A 3-of-4 multisig between INFINIT and the operating team secures deposits. Managers must meet standards set by INFINIT Standard before launching any strategy, and each vault's fee structure and lock period are determined by its manager and disclosed upfront.
The next deposit window opens October 28 through November 11. While early returns may draw capital, the durability of the model hinges on whether depositors maintain confidence in the governance framework and fee transparency as the vault ecosystem expands.
