Hyperliquid

Type: Decentralized perpetual futures exchange
Status: Active, offshore, blocks US users
Domain: internet-finance

Overview

Hyperliquid is a popular decentralized exchange for perpetual futures that operates offshore and blocks US users. The platform offers oil futures contracts and other derivatives.

Regulatory Attention

In April 2026, Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA) pressed CFTC Chair Mike Selig on Hyperliquid during Congressional testimony, arguing that despite US user blocking, Hyperliquid's oil futures contracts could "still have a dramatic impact on the domestic economy." Republicans want CFTC to require Hyperliquid to meet the same standards as regulated US futures exchanges.
