Hyperliquid has been added to the MAS's Investor Alert List (IAL). IAL listing does not constitute a ban, an enforcement action, or a finding of wrongdoing. The IAL provides a list of entities that, based on information available to MAS, may be wrongly perceived as being licensed or in any other way authorised or regulated by MAS. Many large exchanges and defi protocols have been included on the IAL. Hyperliquid is permissionless infrastructure. It is not, and has never claimed to be, licensed or authorised by MAS, and no one should regard it as such. Nothing about the network has changed. As on other permissionless blockchains, users maintain self-custody at all times, and transactions settle transparently and fully onchain. The Hyperliquid ecosystem remains committed to engaging collaboratively and constructively with regulators and institutions globally and to supporting clear, well-designed frameworks for onchain finance.

Portfolio margin on Hyperliquid has been live for six months and is now in beta with increased limits. Users with account value <$25M can use BTC and HYPE as collateral to trade perps, spot, and outcome markets with greater capital efficiency.

For years, Americans were pushed offshore to trade perpetual futures while the rest of the world could trade them at home. This spring, U.S. regulators finally opened a compliant path to these markets here. Today, the largest U.S. exchange, CME, went to court to close it. This is what happens when one company controls a market. By @BetterMarkets' count, CME runs about 92% of U.S. exchange-traded derivatives. When one venue holds that much volume, everyone else carries the cost. Less choice, higher prices. Perpetual futures are the first genuinely new derivatives product to reach U.S.-regulated markets in over a decade. More competition among exchanges is best for the people who actually use these markets. These products deserve clear rules. The real question is whether Americans get access to innovative new financial products, or whether one incumbent keeps them locked out. We think they deserve access. As CFTC @ChairmanSelig put it: "Incumbents will always fear the future." But none of us should fear the incumbents.

Under AQAv2, USDC balance between the linked contract 0x6b9e773128f453f5c2c60935ee2de2cbc5390a24 and the treasury address 0xc20699185c15D0a2fD65779BB5d69f5b0B113c00 are balanced in a 1:9 ratio via system transactions that execute automatically on every HyperEVM block. Circle is serving as the technical deployer, with Coinbase as the treasury deployer. Under AQAv2, stablecoin deployers share approximately 90% of cost-adjusted reserve yield revenue on their Hyperliquid supply with the protocol. Reserve yield revenue accrues in 30 day intervals, automatically sent to the Assistance Fund 8 days after each interval completes. There is a built-in implementation grace period, with AQAv2 yield accrual beginning on August 26 and the first payment made on October 3.

Validators will vote on whether to delist TON around 9:00 UTC on 15 June. TON is rebranding to GRAM. If validators vote to delist an asset, the perps will settle to the 1 hour time weighted spot oracle price before the scheduled delisting voting time, and open orders will be canceled. Close any positions beforehand to avoid automatic settlement. After settlement, no new orders will be accepted.

Hyperliquid now supports recurring daily ETH, HYPE, and SOL binary outcomes. Like BTC daily outcomes, these are automatically deployed and settled daily at 06:00 UTC to the Hyperliquid mark price of the underlying perp asset, e.g., ETH-USDC See Docs: https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/contract-specifications#recurring-outcomes

Today we filed a comment with @paradigm on @USTreasury's proposed rule for stablecoin issuers. U.S.-regulated stablecoins power billions of dollars in daily trading, lending, and settlement. Our comment offers recommendations to preserve their critical role in onchain markets.

We welcome today’s CFTC actions: approval of the first U.S.-listed perpetual derivatives contract, an accompanying Commission policy statement on the listing of perpetual derivatives, related interpretive guidance and no-action relief from the Market Participants Division, and a Staff Advisory on 24/7 Trading, Clearing, and Settlement, as a long-overdue acknowledgment that perpetual derivatives are a legitimate and essential tool for price discovery and risk management. For too long, regulatory ambiguity drove these markets offshore, depriving American traders and institutions of access to regulated venues and undermining U.S. competitiveness in the global derivatives markets. Today’s actions chart a new path forward. We look forward to engaging closely with the Commission to ensure that the framework it develops is workable not only for centralized intermediaries, but for the onchain protocols where the most significant perpetuals activity actually occurs.

USDT has been enabled as borrowable for portfolio margin on testnet, and will be enabled on mainnet on the next network upgrade. As a reminder, any bugs relating to portfolio margin are eligible for mainnet-level bug bounties.

Hyperliquid now supports canonical outcome markets based on offchain events. The markets are published by automated newsfeed software that validators run as part of their regular chain operations. Validators vote on deployment and settlement of canonical markets based on a variety of factors, including unambiguous rules, correctness, and subjective quality of the market.

Validators will vote on whether to delist BLAST, CHILLGUY, FTT, and TST around 25 May 2026 at 09:00 UTC, based on stalequant's methodology and community request. If validators vote to delist an asset, the perps will settle to the 1 hour time weighted spot oracle price before the scheduled delisting voting time, and open orders will be canceled. Close any positions beforehand to avoid automatic settlement. After settlement, no new orders will be accepted.

RWA trading on Hyperliquid reached a new ATH of $2.6B in open interest, double the amount from two months ago. Demand for 24/7, onchain access to real world assets continues to grow.

In approximately one month, the active validator set will increase from 24 to 27 validators. The validator set will remain permissionless, as it currently is. Validators are encouraged to carefully understand the technology and familiarise themselves with testnet before proceeding with mainnet. Note that the self-delegation of 10k HYPE is locked by the protocol for one year. This lockup applies even if a validator is not part of the active set, and should be carefully considered before committing the stake.

Today, Bloomberg reported on certain incumbent traditional exchanges raising concerns about the integrity and impact of markets for perpetual derivatives on Hyperliquid. These concerns are unfounded. Hyperliquid offers enhanced market transparency, publishing a complete onchain record of every transaction in real time, making it a uniquely hostile environment for insider trading or price manipulation. Hyperliquid’s transparency serves as a strong deterrent for misconduct and facilitates surveillance, detection, and investigation by regulators and law enforcement. Hyperliquid also offers 24/7 trading, an innovation that substantially increases market efficiency. Prices move whether traditional exchanges are open or not. Continuous trading eliminates gaps and discontinuities between legacy market hours, improving price discovery for all participants. Bloomberg correctly reports that U.S. law is not currently tailored for derivatives markets on public blockchains like Hyperliquid. We look forward to continuing our work with policymakers in Washington to bring onchain markets inside the regulatory perimeter.

The bipartisan passage of the Clarity Act out of the Senate Banking Committee is historic: the first time a comprehensive crypto market structure bill has advanced to the Senate floor. We appreciate all of the effort that went into this success, but more work is needed before the bill is ready to become law. We look forward to engaging on Capitol Hill and with the administration as the process continues.

Coinbase has announced its plan to activate AQAv2 on USDC as the treasury deployer, with Circle serving as the technical deployer responsible for CCTP and native cross-chain infrastructure. Both Coinbase and Circle have committed to stake HYPE to activate AQAv2. As part of this transition, Native Markets has agreed to terms granting Coinbase the right to purchase the USDH brand assets. With Coinbase, in its role as treasury deployer, sharing the vast majority of reserve yield revenue with the protocol, USDC will become the most aligned stablecoin on Hyperliquid. As a result, canonical outcome (HIP-4) markets will use USDC as the quote asset in a future network upgrade. User and builder feedback has been consistent that fragmentation leads to degraded experience; now, the community no longer needs to choose between liquidity and protocol alignment. The pioneering work of Native Markets in launching USDH as the first production-scale stablecoin sharing yield directly with a protocol in a purely onchain implementation made AQAv2 possible. The learnings and mechanics pioneered by USDH will live on in AQAv2. The Hyper Foundation will give grants to eligible HIP-3 deployers, HIP-1 deployers, and builders who integrated USDH, supporting teams through migration over the next months. These grants reflect an ongoing commitment to teams who choose to build on Hyperliquid and align with the protocol. USDH markets are fully functional but will sunset over time. USDH remains fully backed, with feeless conversions to USDC and fiat available to users during this transition.

The Hyperliquid protocol will implement Aligned Quote Asset v2 (AQAv2) on a future network upgrade. Based on user and deployer feedback, the AQAv2 spec will extend the designation of “aligned quote asset” to stablecoins that are not exclusive to Hyperliquid. Under AQAv2, stablecoin deployers share the vast majority of reserve yield revenue on their Hyperliquid supply with the protocol. AQAv2 will be a requirement for quote assets to be listed against HIP-4 and validator-operated perp markets on a future network upgrade. There is no trading fee or volume contribution benefit to AQAv2. Other quote assets will continue to be supported for other markets, including spot and HIP-3 perps. AQAv2 allows specification of a “technical deployer” and a “treasury deployer.” The treasury deployer will designate a treasury address which will share 100% of the AQA rate (the cost-adjusted onchain reference rate oracle) with the protocol through the onchain AQA mechanic. This is twice the rate of revenue share of the existing AQA spec. The treasury deployer must stake 500k HYPE, which is slashable if the treasury address does not have sufficient balance for onchain revenue to be deducted. The technical deployer must stake 500k HYPE and ensure reliable mint, redemption, and cross-chain transfer infrastructure for the aligned quote asset. Under AQAv2, the linked HyperEVM contract that connects to HyperCore will also rebalance with the treasury address. The HyperEVM balance corresponding to minted HyperCore tokens will be held in a ratio of 9:1 between treasury and technical deployer’s linked EVM contract addresses, respectively. More info will be added to the Docs.

Weekly Update Product & Tech + Portfolio margin limits have been increased: max account value to activate PM has increased to $5M and supply and borrow limits have increased according to global utilization. See Docs for more: https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/portfolio-margin. + Outcome trading now supports multi-outcome markets (aka "questions"). Different outcomes within a multi-outcome market are tied via "split" and "negate" operations. "Split" and "merge" have also been implemented for binary markets. The first multi-outcome market is a recurring BTC price range market that settles daily at 06:00 UTC to the BTC-USDC mark price on Hyperliquid.

HPC strongly supports @ChairmanSelig's vision for the future of onchain markets: “I think it’s really critical that we set in place clear regulations and clear statutory protections for software developers, for people who hold their own crypto assets through self-custody or using a custodial wallet, exchanging your assets... That’s what this administration is really focused on.” Clear rules protecting developers and self-custodial users are the foundation of any workable framework for onchain markets.

Today, @SECPaulSAtkins laid out his priorities for providing clarity to onchain markets, including this on clearing and settlement: "When settlement is near-instantaneous and counterparty risk is managed algorithmically, the traditional clearing agency model requires fresh analysis." Onchain clearing and settlement is one of the most significant financial infrastructure innovations of our generation. HPC is encouraged to see a Chairman willing to map these systems to existing legal frameworks on their own terms, rather than force them into legacy categories built for legacy architecture.

Save the date: the Hyperliquid annual event will take place on October 5, 2026 in Singapore during the Token2049 week. Details will follow closer to the event. Sharing the date in advance so builders and users in the ecosystem can plan travel.
