Overview

Hyperliquid is formalizing a Washington, DC-facing policy effort as US DeFi rulemaking remains in flux. Across reports, the new Hyperliquid Policy Center is positioned as a research-and-advocacy shop focused on decentralized markets, with particular attention to areas like perpetual derivatives and blockchain infrastructure, and is being capitalized via a large HYPE token donation from the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
