Hyperliquid seeks to establish rules in the United States that can protect blockchain and place regulation at the application layer

Oct 18, 2026 18:04:54

According to Bloomberg, Hyperliquid Labs co-founder Jeff Yan is seeking the United States to establish rules that can protect its blockchain. He believes that Hyperliquid's regulatory responsibilities should fall on the financial institutions operating markets based on that blockchain, namely the application layer, rather than the blockchain network itself. This regulatory division allows Hyperliquid to enter Wall Street without bearing the full compliance burden of traditional exchanges.

Jeff Yan also stated that Hyperliquid is currently not open to U.S. customers, and Hyperliquid prefers to be the underlying trading technology used by traditional financial institutions, rather than replacing existing market participants, positioning itself similarly to how Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides computing infrastructure for businesses.
