Odaily News: HyperliquidNews stated on the X platform that HIP-4 permissionless deployment will be enabled in the next network upgrade.
Odaily News – HyperliquidNews posted on X platform that Kinetiq has published an article introducing Elysium. Elysium will use HYPE as its network gas token and will connect with Hyperliquid's HyperEVM and HyperCore. Kinetiq stated that Elysium will enhance transaction processing performance and throughput, supporting Hyperliquid spot trading, PropAMM deployments, and native oracle functionalities based on Hyperliquid data. The article states that Elysium will provide a high-performance EVM environment, supporting token launches from long-tail AMMs, integration with PropAMM, creation of HyperCore spot order books, and perpetual contract deployments via HIP-3. Elysium's sequencer fee allocation plan is as follows: 25% allocated to developer incentives, 25% to the Kinetiq treasury, and 50% used for programmatic KNTQ purchases on the open market, with the purchased KNTQ sent to the Hyperliquid Assistance Fund for burning. Kinetiq stated that Elysium will launch soon, with technical specifications for developers and traders to be released in the near future. At launch, its throughput and performance will exceed that of HyperEVM.
Odaily News, Ansem commented on X platform regarding "Kraken might become the first compliant CEX to deploy HIP-3," stating that if Hyperliquid aims to conduct compliant business in the US, it may need to find a partner that is both familiar with its product architecture and possesses complete regulatory qualifications. Kraken could be one of the potential choices.He pointed out that after Kraken's recent acquisitions of NinjaTrader and Bitnomial, its parent company Payward now holds FCM, DCM, and DCO licenses under the CFTC regulatory framework. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid has already established the corresponding infrastructure through HIP-3, meaning Kraken could theoretically serve as a new access point, offering related products in a manner similar to TradeXYZ. Arjun Sethi has consistently emphasized publicly that Kraken aims to play a "positive-sum game." Among existing US centralized exchanges, Kraken's potential may be severely underestimated. If this partnership actually materializes, it would be a major strategic move for Kraken to expand its market influence and add a significant business line.
Odaily News, Blockworks analyst Shaunda Devens stated on the X platform that Kraken may be testing Hyperliquid's HIP-3 (Builder-Deployed Perpetuals) new compliant deployment feature, potentially becoming one of the first centralized exchanges to explore this mechanism. BlockworksData shows that a deployer named "Kraken HIP-3 test DEX" has enabled permission management functionality (Star gating) on the Hyperliquid testnet and went live for testing on August 19. Currently, this test DEX has completed whitelist settings for 10 wallets, tested 3 of the 5 compliance control features, and registered a "Kraken Exchange Validator."Shaunda Devens noted that Hyperliquid has been continuously adding testnet features to support regulatory-compliant HIP-3 deployments, including whitelist management, canceling user orders, closing positions via reduce-only orders, and moving collateral. These capabilities are similar to the risk control mechanisms required by traditional financial institutions' compliant trading platforms.Although this is still in the testing phase, and any user could deploy a test DEX with a similar name, making it impossible to confirm it definitively belongs to Kraken, combined with Hyperliquid's recent expansion of xStocks functionality and Kraken's parent company Payward's involvement in related business initiatives, analysts believe Kraken may be testing HyperCore's new infrastructure targeting institutional and compliant markets.HIP-3 is a third-party deployed perpetual contract market framework introduced by Hyperliquid, allowing eligible developers to create independent perpetual trading markets on HyperCore's order book infrastructure. It is considered a key upgrade direction for Hyperliquid to expand into traditional assets and institutional trading scenarios. If large compliant exchanges like Kraken enter the HIP-3 ecosystem, it could further drive the integration of on-chain derivatives markets with traditional financial trading systems.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Lorenzo Valente, Head of Digital Asset Research at investment firm ARK Invest, stated that Hyperliquid is in discussions with the CFTC and SEC to facilitate the offering of perpetual futures on its public chain by U.S.-regulated companies. He suggested that Hyperliquid acquire Gemini to position it as a U.S.-regulated HIP-3/4 deployer. He noted that Gemini's current market value is approximately $450 million, representing a decline of over 85% from its $3.3 billion valuation at the time of its 2025 IPO. Hyperliquid could obtain Gemini's entire U.S. regulatory infrastructure—including the NYDFS Trust Charter, DCM, DCO, FCM, MTLs, and Broker-dealer—for approximately $450 million.He further proposed that Hyperliquid could use approximately 7.9 million HYPE tokens from its community reserve, valued at around $550 million at $70 per token, to complete the acquisition at a premium of roughly 20% over Gemini's current market value. Following the transaction, Gemini would handle KYC, custody, fiat on/off ramps, brokerage, clearing, and compliance for the U.S. market, while Hyperliquid L1 would provide the underlying market infrastructure, liquidity, and on-chain settlement. He cited Polymarket's acquisition of QCEX as a similar precedent for re-entering the U.S. market, and stated that the core of this potential deal is not acquiring an exchange, but rather securing the regulatory bridge for HIP-3/4 to enter the U.S. market.
Hyperliquid announced that it has implemented multiple new features for the HIP-4 outcome markets and disclosed the phased mainnet launch schedule. Hyperliquid stated that after the next network upgrade, outcome markets deployed by validators will start charging fees, with the average outcome trading fee being approximately half of the standard spot trading fee. During the initial phase of the HIP-4 mainnet launch, phased restrictions will be applied, allowing each deployer to have up to 100 outcomes simultaneously and deploy up to 500 outcomes per day; once the technology stabilizes, limits are expected to increase relatively quickly to 1,000 outcomes simultaneously and 5,000 deployments per day, and may be further relaxed subsequently.
HyperliquidNews stated on the X platform that Hyperliquid has expanded HIP-1 by adding a deployer-controlled scaleWei function, enabling atomic proportional balance transfers for scenarios such as denomination repricing. When a token equals the referenceToken, unfilled orders will be automatically adjusted.
Odaily News – Hyperliquid's RWA perpetual contract trading is growing rapidly, yet platform revenue continues to decline, creating a divergence of "record-high trading volume versus shrinking retained revenue." Data shows that Hyperliquid's open interest climbed to approximately $11 billion on July 13, hitting a new high for 2026, with perpetual contract trading volume over the past 30 days nearing $178 billion, and its share of global perpetual open interest rising to around 9%. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid's protocol revenue has declined for four consecutive quarters, dropping from roughly $357 million in Q3 2025 to about $202 million in Q2 2026, down approximately 43% from its peak.Analysts attribute this primarily to the HIP-3 mechanism, which allows external developers staking 500,000 HYPE to create their own perpetual markets and earn up to 50% of trading fees. In early 2026, developer-deployed markets accounted for only about 2% of Hyperliquid's perpetual trading volume; that figure has now risen to roughly half, meaning an increasing share of trading revenue is being distributed to external developers.Since approximately 97% of Hyperliquid's trading fees are used to buy back HYPE, the decline in platform revenue directly translates to shrinking buyback scale. As of Friday, HYPE was trading at around $55, down about 28% from its all-time high of roughly $77 on June 16. Meanwhile, core contributors unlocked nearly 10 million HYPE on August 6, valued at approximately $550 million at then-prevailing prices, with subsequent unlock schedules continuing through 2027.Overall, Hyperliquid's trading activity is still growing rapidly, but the revenue diversion caused by HIP-3 is weakening the platform's own earnings growth and HYPE buyback support. The boom in its RWA business has yet to fully translate into earnings growth for HYPE holders. (CoinDesk)
Hyperliquid Research Collective released the Hyperliquid Q2 2026 Report. The report stated that against the backdrop of Bitcoin falling 14% during the quarter, HYPE rose 79% and hit a new all-time high. The report also noted that HIP-3-based real-world markets set new records in trading related to stocks, commodities, and pre-IPO companies, with trading volume accounting for nearly one-third of the platform's total trading volume. Additionally, the first batch of HYPE exchange-traded funds have started trading in the United States, and a private rocket company also achieved on-chain pricing while the New York Stock Exchange was closed.
Odaily News: HyperliquidNews posted on X platform, stating that with the next network upgrade, HIP-3 deployers will be able to select fee multipliers ranging from 0.1x to 3x, and configure them on a per-asset basis.
Odaily News: HyperliquidNews stated on the X platform that the HIP-3 page is sourced from loris.tools.
Odaily News: HyperliquidNews posted on X platform, stating that HIP-3 DEX @tradeparagon has introduced a new feature for VIP users, who can now request tickers they wish to have listed.
Odaily News: HyperliquidNews posted on X platform, stating that HIP-4 permissionless deployment has gone live on the testnet.
Hyperliquid co-founder iliensinc responded to the abnormal SK Hynix pricing incident on Trade.xyz this morning, stating that Hyperliquid is a permissionless blockchain, and different teams can deploy and operate markets based on its infrastructure. Among them, the xyz:SKHYNIX perpetual contract was deployed and is operated by the XYZ team. The XYZ team is currently investigating the situation and will release updates once a conclusion is reached.Iliensinc also explained that the HIP-3 market deployer is responsible for providing data such as the mark price, oracle, and external perpetual contract price. Taking the pricing mechanism of a BTC perpetual contract as an example, the protocol provides the median of the latest on-chain transaction price, the best bid price, and the best ask price as one of three price components. The other two prices are provided by the deployer, and together these three influence the final mark price.
Rajiv Patel-O’Connor posted on X, stating that a new feature called "stars" has been observed on the Hyperliquid testnet. This feature allows deployers to create DEXs authorized by an HIP-3 address whitelist for trading. Currently, the testnet whitelist has a cap of 10,000 addresses. Addresses not on the whitelist can only submit reduce-only orders or fund their accounts.
HyperliquidNews posted on X platform, stating that to launch a HIP-3 market, a deployer must lock 500,000 hyperliquid:native and purchase a ticker for each created market. As the largest HIP-3 deployer, Trade[XYZ] has purchased 103 tickers and launched 87 markets. The minimum cost of a ticker is 500 hyperliquid:native, currently valued at approximately $31,400. HIP-3 revenue comes from transaction fees generated by each market, with 50% going to the deployer and 50% to the Assistance Fund, which uses the proceeds to buy back and burn hyperliquid:native. To encourage trading activity in HIP-3 markets, Hyperliquid has introduced Growth Mode, reducing transaction fees by 90%; deployers can choose whether to enable it, with few exceptions. Despite the fee reduction, 40 of Trade[XYZ]'s 87 launched markets have generated revenue exceeding 500 hyperliquid:native, meaning they have at least covered the initial ticker cost, accounting for 46% of all launched markets. This data only calculates ticker costs and does not include other operating expenses. As long as trading activity continues, each ticker will continue to generate revenue. Some tickers have generated millions of dollars in fees for Hyperliquid and Trade[XYZ] respectively. For example, GOLD has generated over $4.6 million in fees for each party. GBP is currently the ticker with the lowest profitability, generating $610 in revenue for Trade[XYZ] so far.
Odaily reports, according to Selini Capital's monitoring, it has just requested to unstake 504,000 HYPE, valued at $31.7 million. The address deployed the HIP-3 Dreamcash market. After announcing the closure of this market, Selini is unstaking the HYPE required to deploy and maintain the market, having netted nearly $20 million in profit from this investment.
Hyperliquid will open permissionless prediction market deployment in the subsequent enhancement following the HIP-4 upgrade, allowing anyone to create prediction markets on the platform. This feature will first launch on the testnet, followed by the mainnet; currently, related markets are entirely controlled by validators. Hyperliquid stated that in the future, markets operated by validators should ideally be less than 10 per year, with the remaining markets open to external deployers. Deploying a market requires staking 500,000 HYPE, approximately $30 million; if validators determine that a market is poorly defined or incorrectly settled, the staked assets may be slashed. Deployers can receive up to 50% of the trading fees from that market.
Hyperliquid announced that HIP-4 (Outcome Markets) plans to support permissionless deployment in subsequent network upgrades, with the first phase launching on the testnet followed by expansion to the mainnet. According to the preliminary proposal, deployers are required to stake 500,000 HYPE. If the market definition is unclear, settlement is not performed correctly according to the template, or settlement is not completed within one week after the outcome is generated, validators can vote to slash the stake. Deployers can initially create 100 outcomes, with quotas to be expanded through an auction mechanism thereafter.
According to The Block, Nasdaq-listed Hyperliquid treasury company Hyperion DeFi (HYPD) announced a HYPE Asset Usage Service Agreement (HAUS) with Skew Technologies and will deploy 500,000 staked HYPE (approximately $33.59 million) to Skew to support Skew's launch of a new suite of institutional-grade perpetual futures products on the Hyperliquid HIP-3 permissionless market. In return, Hyperion will receive equity in Skew and a revenue share from market listing services. Previously, Hyperion had terminated similar staking agreements with Felix and Native Markets because both built HIP-3 markets based on Hyperliquid's deprecated native stablecoin USDH. Currently, Hyperliquid has shifted to using Circle's USDC as the primary quote asset, with Coinbase serving as the stablecoin vault provider.
