📣 Calling all teams, builders & traders on Hyperliquid
We’re opening up early access to select teams, with unlimited usage available for those who qualify.
Building something interesting? Reach out to @uttam_singhk or apply for early access below 👇
Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and trade[XYZ] have announced their plan to use Hyperliquid as the infrastructure layer to deploy perpetual futures markets for US traders across crypto, equities, commodities, foreign exchange, and other real-world assets, subject to regulatory approvals. ICE operates NYSE and some of the largest exchanges and clearing houses globally.
In this structure:
+ Hyperliquid serves as the underlying technology infrastructure via HIP-3*
+ trade[XYZ] designs and implements the markets
+ ICE operates the regulated market and clearing structure
Existing trade[XYZ] HIP-3 markets will remain unchanged.
Hyperliquid is a neutral infrastructure layer with the goal of supporting large parts of the financial system. As with HIP-3, HIP-3* deployers are independent operators who use Hyperliquid as the onchain infrastructure layer for their own markets, while retaining control and responsibility over their deployment.

Money is becoming software. HIFI is the infrastructure it runs on.
We've raised a $37 million Series A led by @leftlanecap.
Thank you to the customers who run on HIFI, the team that builds it, and the investors who back it.
Demand is accelerating. We now process more than $7 billion a year, and existing customers have grown their usage more than 400% in the past six months. Together, they've onboarded more than 10,000 businesses and 200,000 individuals through HIFI.
Our technology runs from Wall Street to everyday payments. In July, HIFI's platform was part of DTCC's pilot for tokenized repo. And through our partnership with Visa, developers can pair HIFI's stablecoin settlement with Visa Direct to move money globally.
With this round, we're building toward the full stack of tokenized money, from payments and stablecoin cards to tokenized capital markets. We're growing our teams in New York and key international markets, acquiring strategic regulatory licenses, and reimagining new products for the partners building on HIFI.
We're just getting started.

A few thoughts on this:
1. Starting next month it will be possible to hold many shares in tokenized form on Canton. Not via an SPV but via DTCC. AMC won’t be in the initial wave but will come soon.
2. For issuers, this will open up opportunities to interact more directly with their shareholders. Free popcorn if you hold more than 100 shares on AMC when you go to the movie? Allocate dividends to shareholders who have held for more than 12 months? This is a clear benefit to issuers!
3. There are similarities to an SPV holding shares and an ETF holding shares - in both cases the voting rights are generally not passed through.
4. If both the stock as well as the RWA token can both be lent out, it may lead to the ability for more shares being shorted than exist. Definitely a legitimate concern for issuers. By the way, this same issue can exist in single name ETFs.
5. If single name equity perps and single name equity SPV tokens trade in a permissionless environment, it will be very hard for the SEC to police insider trading rules and selling restrictions for newly public companies.
6. The flip side is that permissionless environments facilitate much broader ownership, including shareholders in developing countries who can’t pass basic KYC requirements.
Net-net: I am a huge fan of tokenization. The DTCC’s tokenization project will open up many new possibilities. At the same time we should be thoughtful about the pros and cons that come with permissionless securities.
X-money onboarding was buttery smooth. Sets the standard for all neobanks that have yet to nail this.

Love this framing as stablecoins being the Whatsapp for money
When you think about it - whatsapp eliminates the complexity from local phone networks draws the bridge between apple & android.
It often works even better than iMessage & has better customizability (example: facetime whilst using carplay only works on whatsapp, not regular facetime)
That is what stablecoins will become for fiat.
