USDH: What Coinbase Actually Bought
A bottom-up valuation of the brand and contract rights, from Allium supply data and public comps.
Native Markets stablecoin on Hyperliquid Brand-asset sale to Coinbase
Coinbase did not acquire Native Markets the company. It bought the USDH brand and contract rights, and inherited the position of official USDC treasury deployer on Hyperliquid under AQAv2. This tear sheet builds a bottom-up valuation from Allium onchain supply data and public-market comps to estimate what that deal was worth.The core questions this report answers:
- What is USDH's standalone financial value, anchored to verified Circle and Coinbase multiples?
- How much is the competitive defense worth on top of that?
- What did Coinbase actually get, and what did it leave behind?
