The protocol Hyperliquid is shaking up the crypto scene. By submitting two official letters to the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), the team behind HYPE is initiating an unprecedented dialogue between decentralized finance and the American regulator. The immediate result: the HYPE token surged by 16% in 24 hours, reaching a new ATH above $36.
Hyperliquid opens dialogue with the CFTC: HYPE achieves an ATH
The CFTC has recently opened a public consultation on the regulation of crypto derivatives in a 24/7 trading environment. Hyperliquid seized the opportunity to propose a clear vision: the principles of DeFi are not an obstacle to regulation, but an opportunity to create a new generation.
In its comments, Hyperliquid asserts that its decentralized infrastructures already achieve, or even surpass, the efficiency, integrity, and market protection standards of traditional financial markets. The team advocates for an open, transparent, and evolving regulatory approach that can position the United States as a leader in financial innovation.
A regulatory… and marketing strategy
This initiative does not go unnoticed. In a market seeking regulatory clarity, Hyperliquid stands out as one of the first DeFi protocols to engage in direct dialogue with American authorities. For investors, it is a strong signal. In the background, on-chain volumes are sharply rising, with positions exceeding a billion dollars, notably those of trader “James Wynn,” drawing attention to the platform.
By capitalizing on this news, HYPE outperforms major players in the market, in a context where regulation becomes both a value catalyst and a risk factor.
Towards decentralized finance recognized by regulators?
Hyperliquid does not intend to be on the fringes of DeFi. On the contrary, their message is clear: “We believe that supporting DeFi in the United States through open dialogue and a clear framework is a unique opportunity to enhance innovation while protecting users.”
By establishing themselves as a proactive governance model, Hyperliquid sets the tone. The next step? For institutions to finally recognize that DeFi can be synonymous with compliance, security… and performance.
