The timing is poetic.
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
With the oil market volume and the CBRS pre-IPO perps, we've clearly passed the ignore and laugh phases. With the Bloomberg hit piece, we just entered the fight phase.
Coinbase/Circle USDH/USDC
"Our industry will face adversity as we continue to grow. It gives me hope seeing titans of the industry come together to build for users and bring all of finance onchain."
Then, ICE/CME Bloomberg hit piece.
@HyperliquidPC has been engaging the CFTC for months.
Path forward is crystal clear imo.
Hyperliquid US is coming.
Similar Polymarket/ICE playbook: acquire/partner into a CFTC-licensed DCM, bring in a tier-1 US ally.
An elegant path would be a CFTC-regulated gateway to the same L1 orderbook. Compliance at the access layer, permissionless infrastructure underneath, shared global liquidity.
US users get full global liquidity through a compliant entry point.
Non-US users keep their existing access. The L1 stays permissionless.
The framework supports this model as long as the gateway handles KYC, surveillance, customer protections, and clearing. which is exactly what a DCM FCM stack does.
Let them cook.
