Hyperliquid and TradeXYZ just petitioned the CFTC to create rules for energy perpetual contracts.
Why this matters: if regulators write frameworks for 24/7 commodity exposure, it opens the door for every other tokenized asset to argue for similar treatment.
This isn't just about energy futures—it's about setting precedent. Once you have a regulated structure for one always-on market, the logic extends naturally to anything else trading continuously.
Watch this space. Regulatory clarity in one vertical often cascades into others, especially when the underlying infrastructure (blockchain rails, perpetual mechanics) is identical.
