a report released by FalconX shows that the crypto derivatives platform Hyperliquid is expanding from perpetual contracts to pre-IPO trading, prediction contracts, and tokenized real-world assets, beginning to compete with traditional exchanges and prediction market operators. The report indicates that Hyperliquid's HIP-3 market allows users to trade stocks, commodities, forex, and pre-IPO contracts 24/7, with traders already using it for pre-IPO speculation on companies such as Cerebras, Anthropic, and SpaceX. The HIP-4 outcome market allows traders to place binary bets on political, economic, and crypto events.In terms of capital inflows, the HYPE spot ETFs launched by 21Shares and Bitwise have attracted a combined $53 million in inflows within just a few trading days. Hyperliquid's USDC partnership with Coinbase and Circle is expected to generate up to $160 million in annual protocol revenue. FalconX warns that CME and ICE have expressed concerns to regulators about potential market manipulation risks on the Hyperliquid market. Nevertheless, Hyperliquid continues to lead the decentralized perpetual contract market in terms of trading volume, revenue, and total value locked. (CoinDesk)

Hyperliquid has recently significantly outperformed the broader market. Its token, HYPE, hit an all-time high following the launch of two related ETFs in the United States. Meanwhile, European traders are accelerating their migration to the platform due to restricted access to perpetual contracts on regulated exchanges. Market analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that with Hyperliquid's continued rally and renewed interest in AI-related crypto projects, signs of improving risk appetite are emerging in the altcoin market. Hyperliquid’s expansion into tokenized stocks, commodities, and pre-IPO assets is strengthening the on-chain asset tokenization trend. He suggested that if market sentiment continues to improve, HYPE’s price could target $100 or even higher.However, Michael van de Poppe also stressed that while Hyperliquid holds a short-term advantage, Solana offers greater long-term investment certainty, transitioning from a "speculative ecosystem" to institutional-grade infrastructure. In the AI track, he noted that NEAR Protocol and Bittensor remain significantly undervalued, citing a disconnect between their fundamental growth and valuations. He pointed out that NEAR’s revenue growth potential and Bittensor’s subnet expansion could support higher valuation ranges. Additionally, he indicated that the privacy sector retains long-term demand, but fully anonymous systems face regulatory pressure. The future is more likely to be dominated by zero-knowledge proofs and compliant privacy solutions.On the macro level, Michael van de Poppe highlighted that bond yields and central bank policies remain the core drivers of the crypto market, with changes in Japanese government bond yields potentially serving as a key barometer.

according to community sources, the "Federal Reserve June Interest Rate Decision" prediction event has gone live on the HIP-4 testnet.Previously, Hyperliquid’s mainnet launched HIP-4, with the first offering being a BTC daily settlement prediction market.
According to Hyperinsight monitoring, a whale address on Hyperliquid—previously drawing attention for aggressively going long on HYPE ahead of Robinhood’s listing of the token—has seen its unrealized profit on HYPE long positions increase from $11.8179 million to $13.8535 million, with its return rising from 90.64% to 103.03%. The address currently holds a position size of approximately $67.2274 million, with an average entry price of $38.68; HYPE’s current price stands at $48.71, and its liquidation price is $38.93.
According to independent analyst Markus Thielen, HYPE has become one of the strongest-performing tokens in the crypto market since the outbreak of the Iran conflict, surging over 100% from its 2026 lows—with particularly pronounced outperformance relative to Bitcoin. The core driver behind this strength lies in Hyperliquid’s ongoing expansion beyond crypto into other asset classes, having successively launched TradFi-linked products such as oil and SpaceX perpetual contracts, thereby attracting substantial capital inflows. Thielen notes that this trend reflects a broader acceleration by crypto exchanges into high-volatility, topical traditional financial derivatives—and signals that the intrinsic value of crypto infrastructure itself is gradually surpassing the crypto narrative. Although HYPE is already a highly crowded long position with strong conviction among market participants, its current momentum remains robust.
The Hyperliquid Policy Committee (@hyperliquidpc) recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with policymakers and discuss regulatory pathways amid the advancement of the Clarity Act legislation. Topics covered included Hyperliquid’s value proposition for U.S. consumers, global demand for on-chain trading, and foundational principles of DeFi markets. Jeff.hl noted bipartisan support among policymakers for prudent cryptocurrency regulation and expressed optimism about making formal U.S. user access to Hyperliquid a reality.
the Hyperliquid Policy Center stated that Hyperliquid, as an on-chain perpetual contract trading platform, can provide a new model for market integrity and transparency. The agency claimed that Hyperliquid makes all on-chain transaction records publicly available in real-time, which helps regulators and law enforcement agencies with monitoring, identification, and investigation, and also reduces the risks of insider trading and price manipulation.Previous reports indicated that ICE and CME are communicating with U.S. regulators, urging the CFTC to strengthen oversight of Hyperliquid. Their argument is that the platform's 24/7 operation of commodity trading could pose manipulation risks to markets such as global oil prices.Hyperliquid has recently experienced rapid growth in the commodity trading sector, partly due to its support for non-traditional trading hours and weekend trading. This week, 21Shares and Bitwise also successively launched ETFs related to Hyperliquid, citing increased oil and metal trading activity on the platform.The Hyperliquid Policy Center, however, believes that round-the-clock trading actually enhances market efficiency. Since price changes do not stop when traditional exchanges are closed, continuous trading helps reduce gaps between trading sessions and improves price discovery.
Euler Finance announced it will take over the maintenance and operation of the Euler contract stack known as Mewler under HypurrFi on the Hyperliquid EVM. The relevant infrastructure is undergoing a smooth transition, with Clearstar Labs continuing to serve as the risk manager for the Prime, Yield, and Earn vaults. HypurrFi Scale and Pooled Markets are scheduled to gradually wind down and undergo orderly liquidation over the coming weeks. However, all existing markets remain solvent and fully operational, with no security vulnerabilities or emergency parameter adjustments.During the migration process, new borrowing functionality for some Pooled assets has been frozen, but HYPE, USDC, and USDT0 can still be used for liquidity provision to allow borrowers to gradually unwind their positions. Euler emphasized that its isolated lending architecture on HyperEVM will continue to serve as core infrastructure, jointly maintained by Euler and Clearstar Labs.The HypurrFi team stated that user deposits, positions, and collateral assets remain fully secure. This adjustment is an active strategic migration, not a security incident or protocol failure. According to the plan, Euler Prime and Yield markets will become the primary entry points for lending and yield markets on HyperEVM moving forward. The HypurrFi brand will be gradually phased out, with related support services closing after May 28. Full market liquidation is expected to be completed by July 15, 2026.HypurrFi also reminded users to be aware of risks and fraudulent links during the migration process, to operate only through official channels, and to use the built-in migration tools to transfer Pooled positions to Euler Prime or Yield markets.
the escalating situation in Iran is becoming a real-world stress test for the financial market's ability to trade around the clock. Market analyst Huang pointed out that amid the latest geopolitical conflict, traders did not wait for traditional financial markets to open. Instead, they conducted transactions directly through blockchain infrastructure, engaging in round-the-clock price discovery and risk hedging for assets like crude oil and gold on on-chain platforms such as Hyperliquid.The analysis suggests that the current speed of information dissemination has far exceeded the response mechanisms of traditional markets. News spreads instantly across time zones, yet traditional trading systems remain constrained by market opening hours and weekend closures. This prevents prices from reflecting the latest information in real-time, often leading to concentrated volatility and liquidity shocks when markets reopen.In contrast, blockchain networks offer 24/7 operation and real-time settlement capabilities, allowing traders to continuously adjust their positions during non-trading hours. This is viewed as a complement, or even an alternative, to traditional market structures. During this Iran conflict, the value of this "never-closed market" model has been further highlighted.Analysts point out that the core contradiction lies in the structural mismatch between market infrastructure and the information environment. Although the traditional financial system still holds advantages in liquidity and scale, time boundaries are increasingly becoming a source of inefficiency, especially in a macro environment characterized by high volatility and frequent unexpected events.Meanwhile, on-chain derivatives platforms represented by Hyperliquid are validating the feasibility of 24/7 markets, gradually taking on part of the risk pricing function during weekends and non-trading hours. However, the industry generally acknowledges that current on-chain systems still face constraints in terms of liquidity depth, performance, and institutional-grade risk control, making it difficult to fully replace traditional exchanges in the short term.Overall, the market is shifting from being "trading session-driven" to "information-driven perpetual trading," and competition at the infrastructure level is accelerating.
