## 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.
