Americans deserve onchain markets.
Videos

Hyperliquid entered the Congressional record for the first time today. Mike Selig testified before the House Agriculture Committee and received a question about "decentralized exchanges like Hyperliquid." He said: "[O]ur goal is always going to be to onshore those markets and to have the markets subject to our regulation here in the United States and accessible to our U.S. persons here in the U.S. ..." We appreciate Chairman Selig's commitment to ensuring Americans can benefit from decentralized markets. It will take some effort to adapt the commodities laws, but we're confident this CFTC and its capable staff are up to the task.

CFTC Mike Selig laid out an exciting roadmap for the Commission's top priorities at Milken Institute's Future of Finance 2026 today: "I view Project Crypto as a historic initiative between the agencies to upgrade and modernize our rules and regulations and future-proof them for technologies like crypto...." "Many of the firms want to move onchain. The prior administration drove a lot of these firms and the liquidity offshore. The perpetuals markets are a great example of this. We've had perpetual futures contracts in crypto assets for a very long time[,] but they've developed offshore[.] We've got to bring that back to the United States. We need to have that liquidity here in the U.S...." "We're working towards getting perpetual futures, true perpetual futures, not long-dated contracts, here in the U.S. within the next month or so.... We're also working towards onchain markets, so we're looking to have clear guidance as to what sort of digital wallets would implicate our regulations. The prior administration really went after firms that were just offering software products...." "We're also working towards regulations that accommodate onchain software systems, so decentralized finance protocols and other types of blockchain networks.... We're going to make sure it's very clear as to what implicates the CFTC's regulations and what doesn't, and to the extent that an onchain software system or front-end does implicate our rules or regulations, we're modernizing and future-proofing those rules so that there's a place for all of that." HPC applauds Chairman Selig's forward-thinking approach to regulation and stands ready to support his crucial work ensuring that decentralized markets for perpetual derivatives thrive in the United States. 🇺🇸
