The token HYPE of Hyperliquid rose 15% on Thursday, outperforming the cryptocurrency market, because its team submitted a formal response to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regarding the proposals for permanent contracts and 24/7 cryptocurrency trading. Hyperliquid Labs expressed support for the CFTC's positive stance and called on regulators to embrace decentralized finance (DeFi) frameworks to establish safer and more efficient financial products. This is a rare case of a DeFi-native protocol directly interacting with U.S. regulators, reflecting the maturity of the field and the urgency surrounding the shaping of favorable policy frameworks.
