Question
Trump signals CFTC clearance path for Hyperliquid token in US markets
Direct answer
President Trump stated that CFTC Chairman Mike Selig is actively working to establish a compliant domestic regulatory path for Hyperliquid's HYPE token. Hyperliquid operates a high-speed Layer-1 blockchain and decentralized trading exchange capable of handling 200,000 transactions per second.
A formal compliance framework for DEX tokens under the CFTC would mark a structural shift in US digital asset regulation, offering potential legal clarity for regulated domestic brokers and exchanges.
