Every trade feeds the hippo.
$HIPPO (CashHippo) is the value token of hoodx: trading fees and 100% of trader losses buy back and burn $HIPPO every single day. Winners get paid in $HIPPO. Minting is leveraged. The more the market trades, the harder the hippo gets bought — and burned.
Live numbers land with the Robinhood Chain deployment.
The hippo flywheel
A closed loop: volume becomes buybacks, buybacks push price, price pulls in more minting and more volume.
$HIPPOTraders mint & trade
$HIPPO can be minted with leverage — cheap exposure pulls more traders in, and every position pays a fee.
The protocol collects
Every trading fee, plus 100% of trader losses, goes into the buyback pot. Nothing is skimmed.
Daily buyback & burn
Once a day the pot market-buys $HIPPO and burns it. Supply only goes down — a standing daily bid, every single day.
Price climbs, winners get $HIPPO
Winning traders are paid out in $HIPPO. Higher price makes minting more attractive — back to step 1.

How value reaches the token
Four rules. No discretionary treasury, no emissions schedule — just flow.
Fees buy the hippo
Every fee from every trade is used to buy back $HIPPO on the open market. Trading volume converts directly into buy pressure.
100% of losses, burned daily
The house edge goes to the token, not the house: all trader losses buy back $HIPPO and every bought-back token is burned. No treasury cut.
Winners get paid in $HIPPO
Profitable traders receive their winnings in $HIPPO — every win distributes the token to the people most likely to keep trading.
Mint with leverage
You can mint $HIPPO with leverage. More minting means more open interest, more fees, bigger buybacks — the flywheel spins faster.
The hippo gets fed either way. Trade.
