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.

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.
According to Odaily, Trade.XYZ today launched the pre-market contract for ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) on the Hyperliquid HIP-3 market. The price peaked at $8.64 and has now retreated to around $8. According to statistics, CXMT's total share capital post-issuance is approximately 66.888 billion shares. Based on the current pre-market price, CXMT's market value is approximately $540 billion, surpassing Tencent ($526.5 billion) to rank 32nd globally in market capitalization.It is reported that CXMT will initiate its new share subscription on the STAR Market (科创板) on July 16.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that HyperliquidNews posted on platform X, stating that the new HIP-3 ticker CXMT was acquired for 500 HYPE, valued at $32,625. The ticker is for Chinese storage chip manufacturer CXMT, which plans to list on IPOP ahead of its anticipated IPO on July 27.
According to The Block, Hyperliquid's HIP-3 framework—a permissionless mechanism that allows developers to freely deploy perpetual contract markets—has seen its trading volume share surge from about 2% at the beginning of the year to nearly 50% currently, with growth primarily driven by demand for on-chain stock trading. Currently, this sector is dominated by TradeXYZ, whose products include XYZ100, which tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index, as well as perpetual contracts for individual stocks such as NVIDIA and Tesla, all settled in stablecoins. Analysts point out that the core appeal of on-chain stock perpetual contracts lies in two aspects: first, the no-expiration design avoids time value decay compared to traditional options, making it more intuitive for retail traders accustomed to simple long/short positions; second, 24/7 non-stop trading enables users to respond immediately when news is released, without waiting for traditional markets to open.
Hyperliquid's HIP-3 market volume is growing rapidly. HIP-3 is Hyperliquid's permissionless framework for developers to deploy perpetual contract markets, with its share of Hyperliquid's total perpetual contract trading volume rising from approximately 2% at the beginning of the year to nearly 50% currently.This growth coincides with rising retail interest in on-chain stock trading. The current HIP-3 market is primarily dominated by TradeXYZ, which has launched markets including XYZ100 (tracking the Nasdaq 100 index) as well as contracts related to individual stocks such as Nvidia and Tesla.
