Hyperliquid HIP-3 Cumulative Trading Volume Surpasses $200 Billion, S&P 500 On-Chain Ignites Chain-Linked Total Asset Race

June 14 – Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 framework, launched in October 2025, has hit major milestones: total trading volume has surged past $200 billion since its debut, while open interest (OI) reached a historical high of $3.2 billion this June—signaling a new era for on-chain traditional asset derivatives. A pivotal development came when S&P Dow Jones Indices officially licensed Trade[XYZ] to roll out the world’s first S&P 500 perpetual contract on Hyperliquid. The product provides 24/7 leverage access to eligible non-U.S. investors, settles in USDC, and has no expiration dates or rollover costs. It topped $1 billion in daily trading volume in its first week, quickly climbing into the platform’s top 10 most active trading pairs. This momentum got an extra boost from SpaceX’s recent initial public offering (IPO) on Nasdaq. After the launch, retail investors widely voiced frustration over custody limits and lock-up barriers on centralized exchanges. Simon Dedic, co-founder of Moon Rock Capital, emphasized that Hyperliquid’s on-chain perpetual contracts offer a “superior option” for trading exposure to high-profile assets like SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI. He also noted that the upcoming CLARITY Act will be the industry’s largest catalyst ahead.
