Hyperliquid is actively lobbying for a U.S. regulatory pathway that would let firms offer perpetual futures on its blockchain, a push that would help shift the exchange from an offshore setup toward a regulated American market structure. The effort comes as the CFTC has begun allowing certain crypto perpetual products on regulated venues, strengthening the case for U.S.-based access to one of crypto’s fastest-growing derivatives markets. Hyperliquid’s trading interface still blocks U.S. users as "Restricted Persons," though its underlying blockchain is permissionless, and its Hyperliquid Policy Center in Washington, led by crypto lawyer Jake Chervinsky, has been seeking a "clear, regulated path" for onchain markets. Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy has warned that tighter compliance demands and blockchain throughput limits could complicate that strategy. Prediction-market pricing cited in the latest report also points to modestly firmer confidence that HYPE can reach higher price milestones by the end of 2026.
