Hyperliquid officially announces HIP-3*: opens the door for compliant institutional-grade participants, offering an optional whitelist mechanism.

Hyperliquid has issued an API announcement stating that it will introduce an optional deployer configuration feature for HIP-3 in an upcoming network upgrade, collectively named HIP-3*. The core functionality allows deployers or their sub-deployers to manage on-chain whitelists and set access permissions for specific markets, enabling the creation of "permissioned markets". This feature is strictly an incremental addition to HIP-3, fully optional, with deployers deciding independently whether to adopt it—no impact on existing markets. The initial version of HIP-3* is now live on testnet; the testnet is a preliminary build and will be adjusted based on community feedback. Hyperliquid emphasized that it remains a neutral infrastructure layer, with the goal of supporting large-scale deployment of financial systems. HIP-3* is designed to provide deployers with additional functionality to operate their deployments while complying with their respective applicable regulatory requirements. Consistent with HIP-3, HIP-3* deployers are independent operators that use Hyperliquid as the on-chain infrastructure layer for their own markets, retaining full control and responsibility over their deployments. This design allows Hyperliquid to maintain its permissionless core while opening access to institutional participants that require a compliance framework.

Hyperliquid: Permissionless deployment pushes HIP-4 prediction market trading volume nearly threefold, with market access remaining a key limitation.

Hyperliquid Research Collective (HRC) released a report noting that after Hyperliquid opened third-party permissionless deployment for its HIP-4 prediction market layer on August 29, the platform’s trading volume grew rapidly. The average daily trading volume of HIP-4 in the first 28 days of August was around $545,000; following the deployment opening, single-day volume hit $1.97 million on August 31, with a 24-hour trading volume reaching $2.75 million, and the number of active traders rose from 1,256 to 1,841. The report points out that prediction market project Outcome has been the main beneficiary, currently accounting for nearly 85% of HIP-4’s total trading volume, and its $1 million trading incentive program further boosted liquidity growth. HRC attributes Hyperliquid’s core advantage to its unified account system: prediction markets can share the same account environment as perpetual contracts and HIP-3 assets, allowing users to hedge perpetual positions via prediction market contracts—an experience not currently offered by platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. Sports prediction markets may become HIP-4’s largest growth area. During the recent World Cup, HIP-4-related markets recorded a cumulative trading volume of $189.5 million, accounting for around 3% of the global World Cup prediction market trading volume. However, HRC states that HIP-4’s current main limitation is not on-chain deployment, but regulatory access. The U.S. market involves regulatory frameworks from the CFTC, SEC, and other bodies, with sports prediction markets in particular likely triggering gambling-related regulatory scrutiny. HIP-4 has proven that permissionless deployment can rapidly expand trading scale, but whether it can further grow its market share will depend on the regulatory environment, recovery of the sports market, and future governance votes.

CZ: If Hyperliquid enters the U.S. market, it will open up market space for more decentralized products and become a major positive for the entire crypto industry.

At the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, CZ stated that Trump mentioned Hyperliquid, adding that Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Mike Selig will explore pathways for the platform to enter the U.S. market. CZ believes that if this development is successfully implemented, it will be a major boon for the entire crypto industry. CZ noted that due to his stake in Binance, he is often perceived as a supporter of centralized exchanges, but his core motivation for entering the crypto space is his belief in decentralization. He pointed out that some users choose Hyperliquid because the platform allows wallet-based access without traditional accounts or KYC processes; if Hyperliquid can operate in the U.S. in a compliant manner, it will open the door for perpetual contracts and more decentralized services to enter the U.S. market. He argued that this is not just about Hyperliquid itself. “Hyperliquid is just the cutting edge; once this leading project enters, other projects will follow suit.” The related progress will benefit more decentralized products and their portfolio companies, while also bringing more liquidity to international centralized exchanges, enabling U.S. users to secure more competitive prices when trading crypto assets. CZ said that the crypto market is far from saturated at this stage, so competition between platforms is not a major concern. Hyperliquid’s entry into the U.S. will not only benefit itself but also expand the overall market size of the entire industry. “What is good for them will also be good for us.”
