ETFs Attract $100 Million, DAT Included in Russell 3000: Hyperliquid's "Wall Street Moment"
ICE CEO Jeff Sprecher publicly praised Hyperliquid, calling it "larger than Nasdaq" and expressing admiration for its team. This praise comes just 12 days after ICE and CME reportedly lobbied the CFTC to scrutinize the platform. Sprecher clarified the lobbying was aimed at securing a level regulatory playing field for traditional exchanges, not shutting Hyperliquid down.
He highlighted Hyperliquid's role as a potential "shadow pricing" venue for SpaceX's upcoming IPO, noting its pre-IPO derivatives trading. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid is experiencing significant mainstream adoption. Two U.S. spot HYPE ETFs launched in mid-May have attracted over $1 billion in inflows within 10 days. Furthermore, Hyperliquid Strategies (PURR), a major HYPE holder, is set to join the Russell 3000 index in June.
Facing regulatory pressure, Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan and the platform's policy arm are engaging directly with policymakers in Washington to advocate for a clear regulatory path for on-chain derivatives. HYPE token recently hit a new all-time high above $64.
