BREAKING: NVDA-Perp Launches on Hyperliquid – Trade the AI Giant’s Futures Now
Hyperliquid just flipped the switch on NVDA-Perps—giving crypto degens direct exposure to Nvidia's wild volatility without the baggage of traditional markets.
Why it matters: This isn't just another altcoin. Nvidia's been the poster child of the AI boom, and now you can long or short its future price action with crypto-native leverage. No stock brokers, no PDT rules—just pure, uncut speculation.
The setup: Hyperliquid's known for razor-thin spreads in crypto perps. Adding NVDA taps into the growing demand for 'real world' assets in DeFi—even if the product's about as real as a Wall Street analyst's price target.
Bottom line: When the SEC's busy suing everyone from Coinbase to your grandma's crypto wallet, derivatives like this keep the party going. Just remember—the house always wins, especially when trading the casino's chips against the casino itself.
Hyperliquid expands permissionless market creation
The NVDA-PERP listing follows Trade.XYZ’s recent acquisition of Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) tickers through HIP-3 auctions. In these auctions, Trade.XYZ secured Apple for 500 $HYPE ($20,600) on November 9 and Microsoft for 527.83 $HYPE ($21,006) on November 12.
HIP-3, introduced on October 13, gives users full control over launching new markets. Anyone can now participate in Dutch Auctions and win the right to create a new perpetual market every 31 hours. Each creator must lock 500,000 HYPE as collateral, ensuring fairness and preventing manipulation. Consequently, market deployers manage oracles, leverage limits, and settlement systems while earning half the trading fees.
This framework democratizes listings and decentralizes governance, aligning incentives for transparency and responsibility. Ronin added, “$NVDA is now live on tradexyz trade it 24/7 with up to 10x leverage. Tokenized stocks are bridging TradFi and crypto.”
Hyperliquid’s temporary bridge pause amid Popcat incident
Despite the updates, Hyperliquid briefly faced technical disruptions this week. The Arbitrum-based bridge temporarily paused deposits and withdrawals after a wave of suspicious POPCAT trades. Users initially feared a security breach, but operations resumed within hours.
An admin known as ‘iliensinc’ confirmed, “The blockchain is not under maintenance. The Arbitrum bridge is temporarily paused. Other deposits and withdrawals should be unaffected.” A community vault reportedly lost $4.9 million following the liquidation of an overleveraged Popcat position. Trader MLM admitted to managing the position, noting it was “clearly a deliberate attempt to mess with Hyperliquid and the community-owned vault.”
The situation reignited debates about Hyperliquid’s decentralization, especially after the platform delisted JELLYJELLY, a Solana-based meme coin, following similar volatility. However, trading has since stabilized, and market participation remains strong.
Hyperliquid’s launch of NVDA-PERP introduces 24/7 trading of Nvidia with leverage, managed by the community rather than a central exchange. With HIP-3 and Trade.XYZ’s framework, this setup changes how financial assets are created, traded, and monitored on-chain.
