[Hyperliquid Open Interest Breaks $18B: HIP-3 Ecosystem Share Rises to 30%]

Hyperliquid’s open interest has surpassed $18 billion, setting a new all-time high. This figure signals that the liquidity depth of the on-chain derivatives market has reached a new level.

At the factual level, Hyperliquid is expanding from a single crypto derivatives platform into a full-category on-chain financial infrastructure, with business covering U.S. stocks, gold, crude oil, the S&P 500 index, and even Pre-IPO equity and event predictions such as SpaceX. Its HIP-3 ecosystem—by enabling third-party collateralization to deploy HYPE—has accumulated trading volume of more than $54.8 billion, and currently accounts for 30% of the platform’s trading volume over the past 30 days.

A look at the impact chain shows that traditional institutional capital is accelerating its entry into the on-chain derivatives market. Regulatory progress, such as HYPE ETFs launched by firms like 21Shares and Grayscale, as well as compliant advancement of native lending features, has opened the channel for traditional capital to enter on-chain finance. The maturity of this infrastructure directly changes the pricing benchmark for crypto derivatives, gradually giving it the potential to capture the premium from traditional finance.

Key points to watch next include the growth in depth of HIP-3’s third-party liquidity pools, the actual subscription size of HYPE ETFs, and changes in the on-chain share of actual trading for non-crypto underlying assets (such as Pre-IPO equity).
