If approved, the FCM would carry US client accounts for permissioned markets deployed under HIP-3*, an upcoming expansion of Hyperliquid's infrastructure that allows independent operators to launch markets with restricted access. The company said the application remains subject to regulatory approval, with no assurance regarding its timing or outcome.
David Schamis, CEO of Hyperliquid Strategies, said the application is part of the company's broader strategy to capture value from the Hyperliquid ecosystem through HYPE ownership while expanding access to its trading infrastructure. The move follows Hyperliquid's recently unveiled plans to introduce HIP-3*, which allows market deployers to manage access through onchain allowlists while using Hyperliquid as the underlying infrastructure. The framework is designed to accommodate regulated market operators without changing existing permissionless markets.
