Trump Signals Interest In Bringing Hyperliquid To The US

While the broader rally in the cryptocurrency market aided Hyperliquid’s rise, the HYPE token also got a boost from comments by President Donald Trump, who said Wednesday that his administration was looking at ways to bring the decentralized exchange into the U.S. in a compliant manner.

“I understand that [Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair] Mike [Selig] is also working to bring Hyperliquid into the United States in a fully compliant and legal fashion,” Trump said during a press conference.

Hyperliquid has emerged as a major platform for perpetual futures trading, a type of derivative that allows traders to maintain leveraged positions without a fixed expiration date. The platform has grown rapidly among crypto traders, particularly in perpetual futures, though U.S. residents are currently not allowed to use it.

Retail traders on Stocktwits celebrated that Hyperliquid was within striking distance of its previous record high, anticipating new all-time highs soon.
