The role of Hyperliquid
Such high trading activity occurred amid the historic surge and subsequent pullback in oil prices, driven by the escalation of tensions in the Middle East and signals that several G7 countries may release part of their strategic oil reserves to stabilize the situation.
Before the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and the suspension of tanker transit through the Strait of Hormuz, the CL-$USDC trading volume stood at only $21 million.
Because traditional trading platforms were closed during the weekend, many traders were forced to switch to Hyperliquid.
Perpetual contracts on DEX platforms provide 24/7 access through the HIP-3 protocol, allowing market participants to take exposure to price movements in oil, metals, stocks, and currencies.

Earlier, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes highlighted the strong performance of TradeXYZ instruments tracking the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 indices, as well as gold and silver.
According to him, these instruments will drive further growth in Hyperliquid’s metrics.
