On October 6, 2026, DAYS brings an invite-only Hyperliquid Forum to Singapore, deliberately capped at 200 C-suite executives and department heads. Doors open at 9:00 and stay open until 20:00, with the formal speaking agenda compressed into a late-afternoon block and a catered buffet dinner closing the night. The explicit goal: put institutional capital in a room with the teams building on Hyperliquid. Requests to join are reviewed, not automatic.
Independent, Invited, Capped
The listing is careful to draw a boundary: this is an independent event hosted by Digital Asset Yield Summit, separate from the official Hyperliquid team gathering that takes place the day before, on October 5. Attendees mapping the week should read that distinction literally — the two events share a subject, not an organizer, and many will treat them as complementary halves of one Singapore itinerary.
The cap deserves respect as design rather than marketing. Two hundred senior people, each vetted, produce a different conversational density than an open-door hall of thousands. Names on badges match faces; introductions happen between peers rather than through gatekeepers. For an ecosystem courting institutional participation, that intimacy is the entire proposition.
Hours Built for Hallway Time
The schedule architecture tells you where the value lives. Formal programming runs from 15:00 to 17:00 — two hours of stage content — while the venue operates from 9:00 in the morning to 8:00 at night, fully catered throughout. That leaves the bulk of the day for what the organizers clearly intend it for: meetings, comparisons of notes, and the kind of unhurried conversation that stage Q&A never permits.
The day ends with a drinks and buffet-style dinner reception, which functions less as catering than as a second networking session with lower shoulders. Veterans of invite-only forums know to book flights home for the following morning rather than the evening of. The last hours of a room like this are frequently its most productive.
The Confirmed Lineup
Ten speakers carry confirmed billing on the listing: Arthur Hayes of Maelstrom, Jordi Alexander of Selini Capital, Ryan Watkins of Syncracy Capital, Hanson Birringer of Hyperdash, David Schamis of Hyperliquid Strategies, Christy Choi of HypurrCorea and Tenet Fund, Ian Weisberger of Coinroutes, David Knox of Hyperion DeFi, Blake Player of VALR, and Ness of Hyperlend.
Scan the affiliations and the curation logic surfaces: trading desks and market-adjacent firms, an investment vehicle tied to the ecosystem, analytics infrastructure, lending protocols, and a voice with a substantial macro following. The forum is not assembling a speaker wall for social media clips; it is assembling the specific counterparties an institution entering Hyperliquid markets would eventually need to know anyway.
Three Doors, All Vetted
Registration splits into three request-based categories, each requiring approval. General Admission covers funds, asset managers, builders, service providers, and everyone else. The High Frequency Trader lane addresses market makers, prop desks, and quant trading operations. The LPs and Allocators lane is reserved for family offices, high-net-worth individuals, pensions, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, and treasuries.
Choose honestly. The categorization exists so the room's composition holds, and misfiled requests waste everyone's time. Note also that the precise Singapore address stays hidden until after registration — a small friction that reinforces the private character of the event. Apply early, state your role accurately, and leave space in your October 6 calendar; the format rewards staying late.
