research firm Decentralised.co (DCo) has released a report stating that the share of non-crypto asset trading volume on Hyperliquid rose from zero in September 2025 to a peak of 51% in July 2026, and stood at approximately 30% in October 2026; on October 27, such trading accounted for 40% of the platform's $7.2 billion in daily trading volume, with single stocks being the largest trading category that day.The report uses a 2029 global futures and equities market size of $934 trillion as its base, with the base-case scenario assuming crypto trading volume grows to 3 times the current level, a 3% share of the non-crypto market, a blended fee rate of 0.006%, USDC yield falling to 3.6%, and HIP-4 contributing $100 million in revenue; on this basis, it estimates that 2029 revenue will rise from $944 million to $4.91 billion, corresponding to an HYPE price of $128 at a 40x valuation, $98 at a 30x valuation, and $165 under the optimistic scenario, with the current HYPE price at approximately $77. The report states that if the non-crypto fee rate falls to CME's 0.0004%, the base valuation would drop to $66; Binance has already listed 229 TradFi perpetual contracts this year, with average daily trading volume of $13.4 billion, higher than Hyperliquid's $2.3 billion.
Hyperliquid officially announced that Payward, the parent company of Kraken, plans to use Hyperliquid as underlying infrastructure to deploy a perpetual futures market for U.S. users, becoming the first institution to deploy CFTC-regulated trading products on the HIP-3* market. The specific plan still requires regulatory approval.
According to the latest research report published by Delphi Digital, Dealers Always Win: Why Speculation is the Theme of the Next Decade, Robinhood (HOOD), Hyperliquid (HYPE), and Lighter (LIT) are listed as core targets for positioning in this investment theme. In evaluating these assets, Robinhood demonstrates the advantage of an integrated broker bundling event contracts, options, and cryptocurrency distribution; Hyperliquid, leveraging permissionless on-chain perpetuals and expansion protocols such as HIP-3 and HIP-4, is evolving into an on-chain clearing layer supporting multi-asset round-the-clock trading, while continuously repurchasing HYPE through protocol fees; and Lighter, which constructs its order book using zero-knowledge proofs, has also built competitive moats through zero retail fees and cross-platform distribution partnerships. Collectively, they form an infrastructure exposure designed to capture global speculative demand.
Odaily reports: Paragon announced on X platform that the Papertrade (PAPER) perpetual contract has launched on the Hyperliquid HIP-3 market, supporting up to 3x leverage. The PAPER price is currently at $0.012, with contract open interest at only approximately $30,000.Previously, Paragon spent 570.98 HYPE (approximately $45,000) to acquire the PAPER ticker.
Odaily News: Hyperliquid HIP-3 has generated a cumulative $75 million in revenue, of which $37.5 million goes to deployers, and the other $37.5 million is used for Hyperliquid native token buyback and burn. HIP-3 is a mechanism for deployers to launch perpetual markets on Hyperliquid. Deployers can define their own oracle and contract specifications and are responsible for operations, while reusing the protocol's infrastructure such as the order book and liquidations. Fees from the relevant markets are typically split between deployers and the protocol proportionally, and the protocol-side revenue can be used for buyback and burn.
Odaily reports: An analysis published by a16z crypto on September 23 shows that the total trading volume of real-world asset perpetual contracts in August 2026 reached $117.3 billion, of which on-chain platforms accounted for approximately $101 billion, or 86%; centralized exchanges accounted for approximately $16 billion, a 44x increase compared to the same period last year. A year ago, on-chain platforms accounted for only one-third or less of trading volume.As of the end of August, open interest stood at $4.8 billion, roughly 30 times larger than the $161 million recorded in July 2025. By trading volume, equities accounted for 48%, commodities 28%, and indices 18%, marking a shift from the previous structure dominated by commodities. a16z stated that Hyperliquid's HIP-3 protocol, launched in October 2025, simplified the creation of new perpetual markets and enhanced liquidity sharing.
A commit titled “Binary options support” recently appeared in the codebase for the decentralized order book exchange platform Lighter, indicating that its ZK Circuits may have begun supporting binary outcome markets (prediction markets). Based on the code, each market features a settlement cap, with share prices trading between 0 and the cap; upon settlement, shares ultimately resolve to zero or reach the cap. Contracts are fully collateralized with USDC, meaning they involve no leverage or liquidation. Analysis suggests that Lighter may introduce a "market operator" model, which would allow whitelisted operators to create, manage, and handle market settlement, similar to the HIP-3 deployment model.
According to an announcement on Payward's official website, Payward, the parent company of Kraken, has announced plans to deploy on-chain perpetual futures products to U.S. customers via the Hyperliquid HIP-3 market, becoming the first registered exchange or clearing agency to launch a market on the protocol for U.S. clients. Payward's CFTC-regulated entity Bitnomial will serve as the HIP-3 deployer, responsible for creating, managing, and clearing and settling contracts. NinjaTrader Clearing will take charge of client accounts, restricting participation exclusively to users who have completed the NinjaTrader account opening process and passed the whitelist review.

According to on-chain analyst Mlm onchain, TradeXYZ has completed the HIP-4 DEX deployment on Hyperliquid. On-chain transaction records show that the deployment was completed at 21:15 Beijing Time on September 5.
Odaily News: According to HyperliquidNews monitoring, the HIP-3 market has generated cumulative fees of $66.06 million, of which $33.03 million has been allocated to HIP-3 deployers, and $33.03 million has been used for Hyperliquid native buybacks and burns.
Odaily News: HyperliquidNews posted on platform X that in future network upgrades, HIP-3 will support deployer configurations for permissioned markets. For example, U.S. investors could access specific markets, or access needs could be met for institutional investors operating under strict regulatory rules.
Odaily Odaily News: After Hyperliquid opened third-party permissionless deployment of the HIP-4 prediction market layer on August 29, platform trading volume grew rapidly. In the first 28 days of August, HIP-4 had an average daily trading volume of approximately $545,000. After the permissionless deployment, daily trading volume rose to $1.97 million on August 31, with trading volume over the past 24 hours reaching $2.75 million. The number of active traders increased from 1,256 to 1,841. Prediction market project Outcome currently accounts for nearly 85% of HIP-4's trading volume, and its $1 million trading incentive program has further driven liquidity growth. Hyperliquid's unified account system allows prediction markets to share the same account environment as perpetual contracts and HIP-3 assets, enabling users to hedge perpetual positions using prediction market contracts. Sports prediction markets could become the primary growth space for HIP-4. Previously, during the World Cup, HIP-4-related markets accumulated a total trading volume of $189.5 million, accounting for approximately 3% of global World Cup prediction market trading volume. The main constraint HIP-4 currently faces is regulatory access, rather than on-chain deployment. The U.S. market falls under regulatory frameworks such as the CFTC and SEC, and sports-related prediction markets in particular may trigger gambling-related regulatory scrutiny.
