ICE has once again published a post regarding its collaboration with Trade[XYZ], clarifying that bringing Hyperliquid perpetual contracts to the U.S. remains planned, and that related markets and leveraged trading require regulatory approval.
The official ICE account has deleted its previously published tweet about the collaboration with Trade.xyz, while it still retains the repost of Trade.xyz's promotional copy. ICE is collaborating with Trade.xyz to launch perpetual contract products in the U.S. regulated market based on the Hyperliquid platform. The relevant markets will have independent clearing, customer identity verification, and anti-money laundering systems, and the products will be linked to stock indices, commodities, and currency prices. The products are still awaiting regulatory approval.
Don Wilson posted on X stating that after the New York Stock Exchange's parent company pushed to bring Hyperliquid into the U.S. market, he raised questions about the advantages of on-chain perpetual contracts, the transparency of positions and trades, whether the priority fee mechanism complies with CFTC core principles, and whether offshore and onshore order book liquidity can be merged. He noted that on-chain trading can reduce friction in an environment that requires no trust and identity verification, or receive purchased assets in real time through atomic transactions, but perpetual contracts themselves are not assets, so the latter advantage does not apply; he also asked whether Stan Druckenmiller regards real-time trackability of positions and trades as an advantage. Previously, ICE and trade[XYZ] announced plans to use Hyperliquid as infrastructure to deploy, after obtaining regulatory approval, a perpetual contract market covering crypto assets, equities, commodities, foreign exchange and other physical assets for U.S. traders, with ICE operating the regulated market and clearing architecture.
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.
jeff.hl posted on X stating that ICE, trade[XYZ], and Hyperliquid are jointly opening a new chapter. According to the announcement he cited, Hyperliquid provides the underlying technical infrastructure through HIP-3, trade[XYZ] is responsible for designing and implementing the markets, and ICE operates the regulated market and clearing structure; the existing trade[XYZ] HIP-3 markets remain unchanged, and trading still requires regulatory approval. jeff.hl also said that about a year ago he spoke with ICE CEO Jeff Sprecher and joked that if he saw ICE building on Hyperliquid technology, it would mean success.
Odaily Report: Market monitoring firm Solidus Labs has identified that a trader placed over $170 million in anomalous orders through two accounts on Hyperliquid during the period of severe international oil price volatility between March 8 and 10, suspected of using "spoofing" to influence market prices. The accounts in question placed large orders on one side of the order book before quickly canceling them, while simultaneously executing trades on the other side. Solidus stated that the trader profited approximately $119,000 during the relevant period, but their true identity and subjective intent to manipulate the market have not yet been confirmed.In one case, the trader rapidly canceled approximately $17 million in sell orders while executing approximately $425,000 in buy orders, with the Brent crude oil perpetual contract price showing significant fluctuations before and after the cancellation. Hyperliquid Labs emphasized that all orders, cancellations, and trade records on the platform are publicly recorded on-chain and available for real-time review; the relevant contract issuer Trade.xyz also stated that the platform has order limits and continuous monitoring mechanisms in place. This incident has once again raised market concerns about trading regulation on crypto derivatives platforms and their potential impact on traditional commodity markets. (Bloomberg)
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 CoinDesk, Ripple’s brokerage Ripple Prime (formerly Hidden Road) has enabled institutional clients to trade swap contracts linked to over 100 stocks, commodities, and money markets around the clock, with the option to use its US dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD as collateral. These swap contracts track the perpetual contracts listed on the Trade.xyz platform on Hyperliquid, are currently provided under Ripple Prime’s British Virgin Islands license, with plans to expand into additional jurisdictions in the future, while trading firm Virtu has already joined as an early client. In a client report, Daragh Maher, Head of Digital Assets Research at HSBC, characterized the offering as a “gradual rather than revolutionary” upgrade, noting that its current market size remains modest compared to traditional finance, with initial activity likely concentrated among market makers, proprietary trading firms, and hedge funds executing basis trades.
Hyperliquid Policy Council（HPC）表示，已向美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）提交意见函，建议允许以 AI 算力为标的的衍生品进入美国市场，包括 GPU-hours 和 inference tokens，并同时发展定期期货和永续合约。HPC 指出，随着 AI 数据中心、芯片和网络设备投资快速增长，算力价格波动已成为数据中心、开发者和贷款机构需要管理的风险。其援引数据称，2026 年第一季度美国 AI 数据中心、芯片及网络设备私人投资约占 GDP 的 0.8%，而算力服务年交易规模估计达到 4300 亿至 1.3 万亿美元。
According to a comment letter submitted by the Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 19, the HPC generally supports the SEC's proposed Crypto Asset Regulation (File No. S7-2026-27) and urges its prompt adoption. The proposal includes a $5 million startup exemption (four-year term), a $75 million fundraising exemption (per 12 months), a safe harbor for investment contracts, and state-level advance applicability provisions for "qualified purchasers." The HPC also puts forward five recommendations: 1. Airdrops: Incorporate airdrop analysis into the final rule text and use "clear and specific consideration" as the criterion for determining a "monetary investment"; 2. Secondary Markets: Clarify the status of secondary market trading and intermediaries, enabling assets issued under exemptions to trade immediately outside the registration framework, and recommend exempting relevant trades and platform determinations under Section 36 of the Exchange Act; 3. Safe Harbor: Its use should not be construed as an admission that an investment contract or issuer status exists, and protections should extend through the period during which key management tasks are being performed; 4. Buybacks: Incorporate the SEC Division of Corporate Financing's recent buyback guidance into the rules, standardize the "central party" concept, and distinguish between programmatic buybacks and discretionary buybacks; 5. Federal Advance Applicability: Issuers meeting safe harbor conditions may opt out of reporting obligations or adopt a simplified annual certification to avoid state regulatory intervention. The HPC stated that without the aforementioned adjustments, the actual
Hyperliquid News posted on X that the Hyperliquid Policy Center is calling on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to exclude airdrops from the definition of securities.Its specific arguments include: codifying into rule the position the SEC proposed in March 2026 that free airdrops do not constitute a "money investment" and therefore are not investment contracts; extending this rule to announced airdrops, including periodic or recurring distributions, provided that the network is already operational, eligibility is based on usage or contribution (trading, validating, providing liquidity, governance), and the airdrop is not a means of fundraising. The Hyperliquid Policy Center holds that investment requires tangible and identifiable consideration, and that airdrops are rewards rather than investments; claim processes such as connecting a wallet, signing, paying gas fees, completing KYC/AML, or accepting terms of service should not be deemed consideration. Additionally, the rule should apply retroactively to past airdrops or cover Hyperliquid's native airdrop.
The Hyperliquid Policy Council (HPC) stated that it has submitted a comment letter to the U.S. SEC supporting its proposed Regulation Crypto Assets, and recommended five adjustments in the final rules to further clarify regulatory boundaries for token issuances, airdrops, secondary market trading, and safe harbors.
Odaily reports: Ripple's institutional brokerage business Ripple Prime has launched real-world asset (RWA) perpetual swaps, offering institutional clients continuous trading across more than 100 reference markets including individual equities, equity indices, ETFs, metals, energy, and foreign exchange. Ripple Prime acts as counterparty for these trades, with pricing referenced to perpetual contracts listed by Trade.xyz on the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid, and does not involve ownership of the underlying assets or physical settlement. Clients can cross-margin related positions with other assets on the platform, and eligible clients may use RLUSD as collateral; market maker Virtu is among the early users. The business is currently offered under a British Virgin Islands license and plans to expand to more regions.
Odaily News: Hyperliquid Labs CEO and co-founder Jeff Yan gave a rare interview, detailing the platform's operating mechanism and future plans.Hyperliquid entered the spotlight of global traders and market observers earlier this year—after the Iran war broke out, speculators used the markets built on it to trade crude oil, with the platform offering 24/7 markets on the blockchain. In August, U.S. President Trump said the CFTC is pushing to allow Hyperliquid to "enter the United States in a fully compliant and legal manner." Hyperliquid currently operates outside the United States, but that has not hindered its rapid expansion over the past year.In the interview, Jeff Yan introduced the protocol he built with his co-founder, the ecosystem of participants and assets tied to Hyperliquid (such as the platform's cryptocurrency HYPE), how perpetual contracts are bought and sold on the platform, and explained what a blockchain oracle is, as well as the conditions Hyperliquid needs to meet to conduct business in the United States.

According to Bloomberg, Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan stated during an interview with the Bloomberg Odd Lots podcast that U.S. regulatory obligations for cryptocurrency trading platforms should fall on financial institutions operating markets on the Hyperliquid blockchain, rather than on the blockchain network itself. This strategy aims to facilitate the platform's expansion into Wall Street while sidestepping the comprehensive compliance burdens of traditional exchanges. Currently, U.S. regulators are discussing how to incorporate offshore cryptocurrency trading platforms into the domestic financial regulatory framework.
Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi stated that Hyperliquid has limited user base overlap with centralized exchanges, with many users who cannot complete compliant KYC or have difficulty accessing mainstream platforms using Hyperliquid as their primary trading gateway. While Hyperliquid's market share has grown, trading volumes on centralized exchanges have not declined; both sides are expanding, and the market resembles an expansion of boundaries rather than a one-way transfer of share. Haseeb predicts that the crypto market will perform well over the next 6 to 12 months and believes that crypto investment will gradually integrate into fintech, digital banking, consumer products, stablecoin backends, and AI, among other sectors.
Blockchain.com is seeking approval in the U.S. market to launch prediction markets and crypto derivatives trading.
Citrini Research has stated that the barriers between traditional finance and the crypto industry are gradually dissolving, and with the proliferation of AI Agents, blockchain may be approaching a true inflection point for adoption.Citrini Research suggests that in the future, personal AI agents may be able to manage all of a user's financial assets, including allocating idle funds, executing investment decisions, and finding loan solutions. However, the existing financial system is built on manual processes, intermediaries, and compliance frameworks, making it difficult to adapt to round-the-clock, automated machine interaction needs.The firm believes that AI agents require financial infrastructure that is programmable, operates in real time, and requires no human intervention. After more than a decade of development, blockchain happens to possess characteristics such as asset digitization, on-chain settlement, and open financial applications. Previously, the crypto industry faced issues such as a complex user experience and a lack of real asset applications, but with the advancement of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, traditional financial assets are gradually moving on-chain.Citrini Research points out that the development of tokenized equities, U.S. Treasuries, credit, and other assets, along with changes in the regulatory environment, is driving the convergence of traditional finance and crypto markets. The firm notes that recent developments — including Robinhood launching stock tokens, regulators exploring rules for tokenized assets, and on-chain markets such as Hyperliquid gaining attention from traditional finance — all indicate that the market is undergoing a shift.Citrini Research states that investors should focus not merely on whether assets will be tokenized, but rather on "who can capture the economic value in the tokenization wave." The firm believes that blockchain may ultimately become critical financial infrastructure in the AI agent era.
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)
Odaily News: Hyperliquid Labs has confirmed that its headquarters are located in Singapore. Corporate documents show Singapore as its registered headquarters, and recent job postings also indicate that it has an office locally. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) previously stated that it does not consider Hyperliquid to fall within its regulatory jurisdiction, and said it is unclear whether Hyperliquid is regulated by any major jurisdiction. Hyperliquid Labs stated that Hyperliquid is currently unregulated and has never claimed to be licensed or authorized by the MAS. Hyperliquid-related products allow users to trade on the price movements of assets such as cryptocurrencies, crude oil, and equities.
