The Hyperliquid Policy Center stated that Hyperliquid, as an on-chain perpetual contract trading platform, can provide a new model for market integrity and transparency. The agency claims that Hyperliquid will publicly disclose all on-chain transaction records in real-time, which helps regulatory agencies and law enforcement monitor, identify, and investigate, and also reduces the risks of insider trading and price manipulation.Previously, reports indicated that ICE and CME were communicating with U.S. regulators, requesting the CFTC to strengthen oversight of Hyperliquid, citing that its 24/7 commodity trading could pose manipulation risks to global oil prices and other markets. Hyperliquid has recently experienced rapid growth in the commodity trading sector, partly due to its support for non-traditional trading hours and weekend trading.21Shares and Bitwise also launched ETFs related to Hyperliquid this week, mentioning an increase in oil and metal trading activities on the platform. The Hyperliquid Policy Center believes that around-the-clock trading can actually enhance market efficiency, as price changes do not stop due to traditional exchange closures, and continuous trading helps reduce gaps in trading periods and improves price discovery.

In response to Bloomberg's report on CME and ICE pressuring the CFTC regarding Hyperliquid, the Hyperliquid Policy Center, a lobbying organization led by prominent crypto lawyer Jake Chervinsky and funded by the Hyper Foundation, tweeted that the concerns lack basis.The organization stated that Hyperliquid publishes complete on-chain transaction records in real-time, with transparency far exceeding that of traditional exchanges, which serves as a strong deterrent against insider trading and price manipulation, and is beneficial for regulatory agencies and law enforcement to conduct monitoring and investigations.Additionally, Hyperliquid offers 24/7 uninterrupted trading, effectively eliminating price gaps between the opening and closing of traditional markets. The organization acknowledged that current U.S. laws have not yet made specific provisions for on-chain derivatives markets and will continue to work with Washington policymakers to promote the implementation of relevant regulatory frameworks.Previously, the Hyperliquid Policy Center was established on February 18 of this year in Washington, with former Blockchain Association and Variant Chief Legal Officer Jake Chervinsky serving as CEO, receiving a donation of 1 million HYPE from the Hyper Foundation, focusing on promoting a compliant regulatory path for DeFi in the United States.

According to a16z crypto, on May 14, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee voted in a bipartisan manner to advance the "Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act" (CLARITY), marking a historic step in the legislative framework for the U.S. crypto market. The CLARITY Act aims to establish a clear regulatory framework for blockchain networks and digital assets, with core content including: clarifying the regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC regarding crypto assets, regulating the operations of crypto exchanges, protecting consumer rights, and providing a clear path for compliant operation of blockchain networks in the U.S.a16z pointed out that the U.S. has relied on "regulatory enforcement instead of legislation" over the past decade, which not only distorts the market and stifles innovation but also gives rise to a large number of regulatory arbitrage activities, leading many crypto projects to move overseas. The bill references the 2024 FIT21 Act and the 2025 House version of the CLARITY Act, and further improves upon them. Currently, the two drafts from the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee will be merged into a unified bill, which will be submitted for a full Senate vote, and after passing, will also require approval from the House of Representatives and the President's signature to officially take effect.a16z compares this legislative progress to the historical significance of the 1933 Securities Act and cites the precedent of explosive growth in the industry following the passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill, believing that once CLARITY is implemented, it will usher in a new wave of innovation for the U.S. crypto industry.
