Hyperliquid is seeking a legal route to offer perpetual futures in U.S.

What happened

Hyperliquid has increased its lobbying of U.S. regulators to find a compliant way to launch perpetual futures contracts in the United States.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

If approved, Hyperliquid could bring a new type of derivative product to U.S. traders, expanding market choice and potentially increasing trading volume on its platform.

Analyst inference

U.S. regulators have been cautious about crypto derivatives, so a clear regulatory path would set a precedent for other firms seeking to offer similar products domestically.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Any formal guidance or rulemaking from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that addresses how perpetual futures can be offered legally. Proposed
2. Announcements from Hyperliquid about a pilot launch or partnership that would demonstrate compliance with U.S. regulations. Proposed
3. Reactions from other crypto exchanges, which may adjust their own product strategies based on Hyperliquid’s regulatory progress. Analyst inference
