Hyperliquid has established a policy center focused on DeFi, led by renowned crypto lawyer Jake Chervinsky

According to Fortune magazine, the decentralized derivatives trading platform Hyperliquid has officially established the Hyperliquid Policy Center in Washington, D.C., with veteran crypto lawyer Jake Chervinsky serving as the first CEO.

The center aims to create legal pathways for the widespread adoption of DeFi in the United States, helping Congress and federal agencies understand the underlying technology of DeFi and providing professional support for regulatory rule-making. Chervinsky stated that the current regulatory framework was formed in the analog era and cannot cover new trading forms such as decentralized protocols. One of the center's primary tasks is to develop a legal framework for perpetual contracts.

The Hyperliquid affiliated foundation has donated 1 million platform native tokens HYPE (currently valued at approximately $28 million) to support the center's operations. The founding team also includes policy advisor Brad Bourque (former lawyer at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP) and policy director Salah Ghazzal (former policy head at Variant). The center is currently hiring for positions such as Chief of Staff, Director of Communications, and Director of Government Relations.
