Trump Backs CFTC Plan to Bring Hyperliquid to US Shores

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that CFTC Chair Michael Selig is actively working to bring the Hyperliquid platform into the United States. The goal is to establish a fully compliant and legal pathway for the popular perpetual futures venue, which currently blocks American traders from accessing its services.

This move puts clear White House support behind domestic options for decentralized finance and derivatives trading. Hyperliquid has grown into a major player in the crypto trading space, drawing significant volume and attention from traders around the globe despite the current United States geoblock.

Market participants will be watching closely to see how the CFTC handles the regulatory framework for this onboarding process. If successful, this could open the door for other decentralized derivatives platforms to seek official approval and operate openly within American borders.
