The Hyperliquid Policy Center filed a statement with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on August 27, recommending that perpetual contracts take a central place in the agency’s innovation program. The center noted that perpetual contracts are not limited to digital assets and can also apply to traditional asset classes such as equities and commodities, as demand from U.S. market participants continues to grow.
On Hyperliquid, third-party developers have launched perpetual contracts covering more than 80 commodities and traditional equities, with a cumulative notional volume exceeding $500 billion. The center argued that perpetual contracts meet the risk-management needs of various sectors, including hedging airlines’ fuel costs, managing the exposure of investment fund portfolios, and handling the infrastructure costs of AI developers—while avoiding the difficulties related to contract rollovers and expiration, which are features of traditional futures contracts.
