Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual futures platform, is under scrutiny as CME Group and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) urge U.S. regulators to increase oversight. The firms reportedly raised concerns about market manipulation and sanctions risk—claims Hyperliquid dismisses as "unfounded."

The platform, which operates on 31 validators and uses a 3-of-4 multisig bridge for user deposits, argues its on-chain transparency mitigates such risks. Yet, Wall Street demands Hyperliquid register with the CFTC, requiring identity verification and trade surveillance systems.

Despite IP restrictions, American users continue trading on Hyperliquid, giving regulators jurisdictional leverage. The clash highlights tensions between decentralized finance and traditional market infrastructure.
