Trump Says CFTC Is Working to Bring Hyperliquid to the U.S.

What Did Donald Trump Say About Hyperliquid?

Don’t look for Don to announce an approval or even launch date for Hyperliquid. He spoke of CFTC Chairman Michael Selig as working to bring the exchange into the United States and described the intended pathway as fully compliant and legal. Speaking at a financial innovation and crypto policy-focused White House event, Trump associated Hyperliquid directly with the relevant federal regulators.

Hyperliquid does not have an immediate approval or launch announcement for American traders either. The remarks were more focused on CFTC activity.

Why Is Trump’s Hyperliquid Statement Important?

A U.S. president rarely speaks up for a particular decentralized derivatives platform. In doing so, Trump has given Hyperliquid unusual political exposure. Moreover, the remark implies U.S. regulators can take an onchain perpetual market to shore up their home soil.
