can think of a few reasons why this might be useful, but will refrain from speculation for the time being.
Hyperliquid's open interest has reached a new all-time high of $11.14B, its highest level in 276 days.
The milestone was largely driven by HIP-3 markets, which now account for $3.69B in open interest.
This is the most bearish chart in crypto, showing a massive ongoing rotation. The blue line going vertical shows capital fleeing native crypto assets to bet on stocks on Hyperliquid etc instead. The tan crypto line is struggling because there's no new capital.
@JustinCBram Really interesting discussion! Any chance you guys are able to look into liquidity on lit? Slippage is especially rough and makes it difficult to get any size in.
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.
@0xSisyphus I think low cash reserves are scaring some people. I have a feeling that was Saylor selling btc yesterday to refill the reserves for the dividends
