Hyperliquid (HYPE)

hyperliquid is a killer product

meanwhile, there are pressures that may constrain the project’s viability within US borders

including:

- hyperliquid’s product layer (via CFTC’s kalshi approval, coinbase/deribit no action, and policy statement)
- hyperliquid’s network and token layer (via clarity act)
- hyperliquid’s collateral layer (via USDC, managed by circle/coinbase, two US regulated entities)

haven’t seen a thorough discussion on these impacts, so below is a brief summary of the current paths forward, and the rationale behind each:

(1) hyperliquid can ignore US market, go offshore only
(2) hyperliquid can build a US regulated wrapper
(3) hyperliquid can decentralize under ‘clarity act’
(4) hyperliquid can centralize the project, turn $HYPE into a security
(5) hyperliquid can lobby for a change

these are the five, i’ll start with the first

(1) hyperliquid can ignore US market, go offshore only

last week the CFTC approved kalshi’s BTCPERP as a futures contract on a DCM

the CFTC separately confirme
