Hyperliquid Pushes U.S. Perpetual Futures Trading Path

Payward, Kraken's parent company, announced it is advancing a perpetual futures trading path based on Hyperliquid for U.S. customers, operating through CFTC-regulated infrastructure. Payward stated in a release on the 16th that it plans to build an on-chain perpetual futures market starting with Hyperliquid's HIP-3 market, managed by Bitnomial Exchange and Bitnomial Clearinghouse for market operations and settlement. NinjaTrader Clearing, a CFTC-registered futures broker, will manage customer accounts. Payward noted U.S. customers must open futures accounts through registered brokers to trade new perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid, with trading limited to accounts listed on Bitnomial and NinjaTrader's approved lists, and product listings subject to regulatory approval.
