Trump: CFTC Chair Working to Bring Hyperliquid Into the U.S. in Full Compliance

On August 19, U.S. President Donald Trump said at a White House event with technology leaders that CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig is working to bring Hyperliquid into the United States in a fully compliant and legal fashion.

Trump also noted that Selig authorized the first true Bitcoin perpetual futures contract on a CFTC-registered exchange in May. Selig later said that the U.S. had codified the GENIUS Act, established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, drawn a clear line between crypto securities and commodities, launched the first U.S. crypto perpetual, and protected the rights of software developers.
