Hyperliquid Strategies’ treasury company has spent $785 million on tokens this quarter and is seeking US registration to launch perpetual futures.
Hyperliquid Strategies, the operator of the HYPE treasury, has announced plans to obtain a futures broker license in the United States. The firm aims to launch perpetual futures contracts built on the Hyperliquid protocol, expanding its suite of crypto derivatives for US investors.
During the most recent quarter, the HYPE treasury allocated $785 million toward the purchase of its own tokens. The capital outlay reflects the company’s commitment to supporting the liquidity and valuation of the HYPE token as it prepares for a broader product rollout.
Regulatory Pathway for Crypto Perpetuals
Securing a US futures registration is a significant regulatory step. It would require the firm to meet the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) standards for market oversight, risk management, and investor protection, positioning Hyperliquid to operate within the formal derivatives framework.
For market participants, the move could signal increased institutional interest in crypto‑based perpetuals. It may also provide a new venue for traders seeking exposure to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, while offering the regulatory safeguards that many investors require.
