Price / earnings

The comparable column. Net income for the listed venues; HYPE's reported revenue, following DefiLlama's own earnings convention — since Hyperliquid's protocol take is zero, revenue is the money that reaches holders.

Lower is cheaper relative to earnings.

Price / sales

Not like-for-like — HYPE has no cost structure beneath its revenue the way the listed venues do, and their reported revenue isn't consistently netted of pass-through expenses either. Read before drawing conclusions from it.
