Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff: The biggest problem in the crypto industry is the difficulty of attracting top entrepreneurial talent.

2026.07.18 14:08:49

Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan recently told a VALR podcast that one of the biggest challenges facing the crypto and fintech sectors today is failing to attract enough top-tier startup talent. Yan noted that driven by factors like the AI boom and social prestige, many of the brightest young people are uncertain which fields will deliver the most value, leading few to pursue careers in crypto. He emphasized that rebuilding the financial system from first principles and translating academic theories into scalable market designs is highly meaningful work, and urged young entrepreneurs to look beyond surface-level value, focus on the world’s real problems, and engage in the development and innovation of on-chain finance.
