Hyperliquid Strategies has applied to become a U.S. futures commission merchant, according to Decrypt. The application is intended to allow Americans to trade perpetual futures on permissioned Hyperliquid markets, although the proposed service remains contingent on regulatory approval.
As a futures commission merchant, the company would be positioned to provide regulated access to the derivatives activity offered through Hyperliquid’s permissioned venues. Decrypt reported the application without citing an approval date, launch schedule or further terms, so the proposal is not yet evidence that U.S. perpetual futures trading is operational.
This is a single-source report, with no additional outlet coverage supplied to corroborate or challenge Decrypt’s account. The central confirmed development is the application itself; details beyond the intended U.S. access and its dependence on approval were not provided in the available coverage.
Hyperliquid’s on-chain footprint remains substantial but has weakened over the past week. DeFiLlama places total value locked across the platform at $1.83 billion, representing a 7% seven-day decline. The available reporting does not establish whether that contraction is connected to the futures-registration application.
The broader crypto market was flat at a $2.62 trillion total capitalization, while 
Bitcoin slipped 0.48% over 24 hours and the Fear & Greed index registered 28, indicating fear. HYPE was priced at $78.57, up 0.84% over 24 hours but down 12.68% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $18.81 billion. The next material milestone is the regulatory decision on the application; Decrypt’s summary provides no timetable for that decision or a firm launch date.
Since this brief published about 60 minutes ago, Hyperliquid (HYPE) has moved from $78.57 to $78.47 — -0.13%.
The chart plots HYPE's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution; intraday detail builds over the first day). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 HYPE ≈ ₦108,283.11 (about $78.47), up 0.4% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
