My profile of @HyperliquidX co-founder @chameleon_jeff.
We met in Washington, DC, to discuss the future of the wildly successful crypto platform whose rise has rattled industry titans and caught the White House’s attention.

Growing up in the United States, NYSE was synonymous with the story of American capitalism. I vividly remember learning about the Buttonwood agreement in 9th grade history class. 24 stockbrokers met under a tree on Wall Street and formed the beginning of what would become the world's financial center. From pits to computers to now onchain markets, America has always led the way in innovating markets to improve price discovery and capital formation. Today the next chapter begins with ICE, trade[XYZ], and Hyperliquid.
ICE started as an electricity-trading platform in 2000, growing to acquire NYSE itself in only 13 years. It is a key infrastructure provider of America’s energy, bond, and mortgage markets. ICE is a rare story of exponential growth of a financial giant over decades, continually embracing innovation and technology.
trade[XYZ] was the first HIP-3 deployer and responsible for spearheading the flourishing global RWA perpetual market today. Only a year ago, trade[XYZ] launched its first RWA perpetual markets. They took a bet on HIP-3, which had just launched after months of tireless development. Having followed their journey from day 1, I cannot overstate how much Shoku and the team have poured into growing these markets to a genuine source of price discovery for the most important assets in the world.
Over the past three years, Hyperliquid has pioneered onchain infrastructure to house all of finance. Hyperliquid is nothing without its world-class builders. I am honored that trade[XYZ] and ICE have chosen to build on Hyperliquid to bring perpetual contracts to America.
When I first spoke to Jeff Sprecher around a year ago, he asked what success looks like to me. I thought for some time and joked that it would be seeing ICE building on Hyperliquid's technology. I could never have predicted the progress that we've made as a community in a single year to make this come true. Excited to see what we can build together next.
I am excited to be an investor in trade(xyz) as they partner with ICE to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States. As a market participant, I am looking forward to to using their innovative product to enhance my investment process.
What a day.
Great to meet so many Rysk users, friends, builders, and also the curious ones who wanted to learn more about Rysk.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to Hyperliquid for organizing such a great event.

i can tell you now from experience you are going to overtrade if you spend your time on the 15 minute chart checking price action daily
separate your spot account from your perps account from your onchain degen account
it is detrimental to your returns to try to catch every local top & local bottom
go study past bull markets, look at how long these uptrends last, for altcoins you can be more aggressive because their trends are usually faster, 4-6 months of outperformance and then new leader usually emerges, especially if it goes 10x+ on size, but there will be rare cases this cycle where alts actually become stronger investments as they go up because their revenue will also meaningfully increase, will be important to update your thesis with the changing information, prior cycles alts topped purely on attention shifts & momentum dying out but insti capital will continue to aggressively bid these coins in certain cases where there is real data that changes the outlook
last cycle bitcoin bottomed in jan 2023 & topped in october of 2025, that's ~ 33 months of uptrend, if bottom is in for this cycle which i believe it is, we just bottomed in july, its only month 4.
during the longer bull market there will be mini bull markets where certain alts outperform, it is your job to identify these alts & compound your winners into long term investments
good luck 🐂🀄️

Every dollar of margin now earns the protocol revenue twice. We broke down both revenue lines and projected their impact through 2030. https://t.co/S2N93UOueJ
