Hyperliquid reaches new highs in market share of perpetual futures trading volume

Source Cryptopolitan

Hyperliquid re-established its top position in perpetual futures trading as the exchange reached a new record with a 6.9% of centralized exchange trading activity.

Hyperliquid grabbed more of the crypto trading volume, which rose to 6.9% of perpetual futures open interest on centralized markets. Despite the slowdown in futures open interest and volumes, Hyperliquid survived as HIP-3 pivoted to silver and gold, and later to energy markets.

While centralized exchanges have the advantage of legacy pairs and a longer history, Hyperliquid showed it could adopt the latest trends and carry significant volumes and liquidations.

The latest trading expansion was due to growing interest in the recently introduced official S&P 500 futures. The contract moved ahead of the Brent oil perpetual futures, as on-chain traders immediately reacted to the stock market recovery.

Stock indexes and selected stocks like NVDA, TSLA, and CRCL are also featured prominently on Hyperliquid pairs. The market also reacted to the S&P 500 climbing to new price records after a period of relative stagnation.

Hyperliquid activity boosted by whale trades

The exchange also became a venue for whales, who used their crypto experience to attempt trading commodities. The exchange growth chart shows Hyperliquid started a strong directional recovery in March, at the time HIP-3 activity accelerated for energy futures. Whale activity also showed general trends and signaled the potential for risk-on trading and market recovery.

Hyperliquid reflects the switch to risk-on assets, hosting a mix of crypto and traditional markets with immediate access. The main competitors for Hyperliquid are still Binance, OKX, and Bybit, which are used by traders with a similar risk profile, seeking international access.

Whales often indicate the latest trends, as all activity on Hyperliquid is transparent and traceable. As of April 14, Hyperliquid carries $1.86B, while TradeXYZ carries $2.25B in daily volumes. The perp deployer broke above the $1B in open interest in March, and retains the biggest market share on HIP-3.

Hyperliquid regains leading position

Hyperliquid’s position in perpetual futures trading remains unchallenged. The main competitor, Aster, aimed to displace both the exchange as a trading venue and the HYPE native token.

ASTER traded at a one-week high of $0.68, but is still far from its early trading around $4.

HYPE, at the same time, climbed to a three-month peak, finally reflecting Hyperliquid’s success. HYPE traded at $44.93, adding over 8% in the past day.

In the past few days, HYPE has also set new records against other altcoins. The token is up over 73% in the past quarter, and is in the top 10 growth assets. The token is also actively traded on Hyperliquid, just behind BTC and ETH.

Hyperliquid’s growing influence placed it ahead of promising competitors like Aster, Lighter, Backpack, and other exchanges that aimed for the spotlight in the past year.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
