Hyperliquid Launched S&P500 Perps

Last Wednesday, in a plot twist that even I couldn’t see coming, TradeXYZ decided to cozy up with S&P Dow Jones Indices. Yes, they’ve launched the first officially licensed S&P500 perpetual derivative on Hyperliquid! Finally, a way for us mere mortals to have 24/7 access to the S&P market without needing a Wall Street badge. Just what we needed, right? Because nothing screams ‘legitimacy’ like crypto and traditional finance holding hands.

S&P Dow Jones Indices and trade[XYZ] are playing matchmaker here by launching the first official S&P 500 perpetual contract, exclusively on Hyperliquid.

For 69 years, the S&P 500 has been global finance’s beloved benchmark. And now… we can finally join the party!

New HIP-3 ATH’s

Hold onto your hats, folks! NewsBTC reported that HIP-3 (oil, gold, and silver) open interest has soared past $1.5 billion! That’s right; it seems Hyperliquid is now trading more in tokenized commodities than in digital assets. Because if we’re going to invest, why not do it with shiny things? And guess what? We hit new all-time highs of $7B in open interest and $5.9B in 24-hour volume! Talk about a confidence boost; it’s like crypto therapy.

Trade.xyz also shared that 24-hour trading activity is now hitting $5.6 billion with over 45,300 unique users. WTI oil is leading the charge like the overachieving student in class with $1.27 billion in daily turnover. We’re basically living in a financial reality show now!

@tradexyz is flexing hard with new all-time highs everywhere:
– Cumulative trading volume: $110B
– Open Interest: $1.6B
– 24hr peak volume: $5.6B

And let’s not forget the community initiatives! Hype Global and Hyperliquid FR are throwing an ETHCC Cannes event on March 31. Because why not celebrate crypto while sipping rosé on the French Riviera? It’s practically a rite of passage now.

From the high-intensity shipping in Seoul to the glamorous shores of Cannes.

Hype Global is landing in Cannes for EthCC with Hyperliquid Builders Night. It’s basically a night for those who think outside the box-or at least outside their investment portfolios.
