I spent the past few days in Washington with @hyperliquidpc meeting with policymakers during the historic advancement of the Clarity Act. We discussed Hyperliquid, the benefits that it offers to American consumers, and the regulatory path to bring onchain derivatives markets into the United States.
Some conversations were technical with an impressive baseline understanding of Hyperliquid. Discussions included how onchain trading is a financial innovation that has clear global user demand. Other conversations focused more on a first principles introduction to defi and the promise of onchain markets. It was encouraging to see bipartisan support for thoughtful regulation of crypto. I look forward to continuing discussions in DC and working hard to make American access to Hyperliquid a reality.
I’m excited to support the @HyperliquidPC launch. The Hyperliquid ecosystem needs a policy voice that represents our core values in DC. I’ve gotten to know @jchervinsky and seen his principled and unwavering support of defi over the years. There is no better person to advocate for Hyperliquid and defi broadly in this critical time in policy discussions. HPC will champion the message that Hyperliquid and defi align with core American values: transparency, fairness, and financial freedom for all.
Since the chain’s genesis three years ago, Hyperliquid has pushed the limits of decentralized financial infrastructure. It’s been an honor to work with such a passionate and diverse group of builders toward the ambitious goal of housing all of finance in a fair and transparent system. However, this decentralized stewardship and development meant that Hyperliquid lacked a unified voice in important policy discussions until now.
At this point, Hyperliquid has grown to where “housing all of finance” is more than a tagline. There is a tangible and urgent possibility of upgrading the tech stack of the existing financial system, bringing immense value and accessibility to everyone. Democratizing finance requires education and advocacy for laws that protect users and builders alike. Global financial regulation will be shaped in the United States, and we must work to ensure that these new policies thoughtfully embrace the potential of the new financial system enabled by Hyperliquid. I’m confident that the team at HPC will take on this challenge and push for a clear, regulated path for defi to thrive.
