Dragonfly partner Haseeb referred to Native Markets as receiving validation from the USDH bidding process, while several node operators have pushed back

BlockBeats News, September 10th, Dragonfly Partner Haseeb wrote that he "heard multiple bidders say that, apart from Native Markets, validators were not interested in considering other bidders. Native Markets' proposal was almost immediately released after the USDH RFP was announced, indicating that they were notified in advance. Others were busy utilizing the weekend to put together their proposals. So, the entire USDH RFP was basically tailored for Native Markets."

In response to this statement, Galaxy, operator of the Hyperliquid validator, and Nansen CEO both wrote posts refuting it, stating that "the validator operation teams put in a lot of effort to review proposals and communicate with bidders."
