Deep Dive
CFTC Chairman Mike Selig announced that the agency is working towards approving perpetual futures in the U.S. within the next month, with guidance and a formal rulemaking process expected soon. Perpetual futures, which have no expiration date and allow for leveraged crypto exposure, constitute over 90% of global crypto derivatives volume but have been functionally banned for U.S. users. Selig stated the intention is to bring liquidity back to the U.S. that was previously driven offshore.
The potential regulatory approval of perpetual futures could significantly impact onchain derivatives platforms like Hyperliquid. Proponents argue that regulatory legitimacy will attract institutional capital, benefiting platforms that offer self-custodial, non-KYC access. Hyperliquid, as the leading onchain perpetual futures venue, could see increased demand. However, a counterargument suggests that the absence of legitimate U.S. alternatives was a key driver of Hyperliquid's value. The introduction of regulated U.S. alternatives from exchanges like Coinbase or Kraken, potentially with conservative leverage caps, KYC/AML requirements, and surveillance, could shift the narrative and reduce Hyperliquid's competitive advantage. While regulated U.S. perps might tighten spreads and compress fee revenue on high-volume pairs, overall perpetual futures volume is expected to increase, with both onchain and centralized venues likely capturing a share of this growth.
