Odaily reports: Crypto analyst Darkfost posted that HYPE's spot trading volume on Binance yesterday hit an all-time high of $16.2 billion, far exceeding the platform's monthly average daily trading volume of approximately $3.6 billion. Driven by this, HYPE's price rose from $81 to $97, a single-day gain of about 24%. The surge in trading volume is related to the announcement of a partnership between TradeXYZ and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The two parties plan to launch a 24/7 perpetual futures market in the United States built on Hyperliquid's technical infrastructure, covering equities, commodities, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrencies, subject to regulatory approval.Under the arrangement, ICE will operate the regulated market, while TradeXYZ will handle market design and implementation. The news was subsequently shared by Stanley Druckenmiller in his first-ever post on X. Darkfost noted that the news was quickly priced in by the market, but it was not entirely without warning—Trump had previously stated that Mike Selig, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is working to bring Hyperliquid into the U.S. market in a compliant and legal manner.

According to CoinDesk, Nasdaq-listed fintech firm Perpetuals.com (PDC) has formally submitted notice to operate a tokenized U.S. stock trading venue under the SEC’s five-year "innovation exemption" framework. The exemption permits specific markets to trade U.S. equities on public blockchains without registering as traditional securities exchanges, provided that the tokens carry identical shareholder rights to common stock, including dividend and voting rights. Perpetuals.com is the second company to apply for this exemption, following OKX and OKXICE, a joint venture between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. Its U.S. market will be managed by Delaware-based subsidiary Kephas Corporation, facilitating trades through AMM liquidity pools on the Ethereum-compatible layer-2 network Kronos X Public, with the initial trading pair consisting of U.S. stock tokens and USDC. CEO Patrick Gruhn previously oversaw operations at FTX Europe and contributed to the development of early stock token products at both Binance and FTX.

Odaily News — Jeff Yan, co-founder and CEO of decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, said at Token2049 Singapore that Wall Street's traditional wealth creation model is unsustainable for most participants. Assets such as company stocks are often only opened to the public after listing, causing retail investors to miss the main growth gains before listing.Jeff Yan stated that Hyperliquid's primary goal is to expand wealth creation opportunities and participation in the financial system, and that revenue is merely a byproduct of delivering user value, not an optimization target. Its perpetual contracts have no expiration date, which can reduce the number of decisions traders need to make and avoid liquidity fragmentation.Hyperliquid generated $72 million in revenue over the past 30 days, ranking third among the highest-revenue DeFi protocols. In July this year, Pantera said that onchain perpetual contracts may become a mainstream trading tool in global financial markets due to their structural advantages.Jeffrey Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, previously called on regulators to create a level playing field for around-the-clock onchain perpetual contracts. In March this year, NYSE partnered with tokenization platform Securitize to develop blockchain-based stock trading infrastructure. (Cointelegraph)
