Hyperliquid Advocates for 24/7 Perpetuals Trading in CFTC Submission

Hyperliquid Labs has formally engaged with U.S. regulators on the future of round-the-clock derivatives markets. The decentralized finance protocol submitted two comment letters to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on May 23, addressing perpetual swaps and continuous trading frameworks.

The submissions respond to CFTC initiatives launched in April, which sought public input on adapting regulations for non-stop trading environments and innovative derivative products. Market participants had until May 21 to provide feedback on these proposals.

Hyperliquid’s intervention highlights DeFi’s ability to meet evolving market demands. The protocol’s technical architecture demonstrates how decentralized systems can maintain liquidity and risk management across all trading hours - capabilities traditionally challenging for centralized venues.
