## Important classification caveat

Before the substantive findings, one correction: the background data lists HYPD under "Healthcare / Biotechnology," but the company's own materials and market data providers all describe Hyperion DeFi as a decentralized-finance (DeFi) / digital-asset company ([[1]](https://hyperiondefi.com/), [[2]](https://ir.hyperiondefi.com/), [[6]](https://tickernerd.com/stock/hypd-forecast/)). The "Biotechnology" label appears to be a classification artifact in the proprietary dataset, not an accurate description of the business.
