Hyperliquid Labs has formally submitted two detailed comment letters to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), advocating for greater clarity and structure in decentralized finance (DeFi) regulations.
The letters were in direct response to the CFTC’s recent public calls for commentary on issues surrounding perpetual derivatives and the concept of 24/7 trading, a fundamental aspect of DeFi markets.
Hyperliquid Labs emphasized that deeper understanding and clearer regulation of these areas are essential for the evolution of global markets and for ensuring that the DeFi ecosystem can grow responsibly and sustainably within the U.S. financial framework.
Commitment to Transparency and Market Integrity Through Regulation
In its public statement, Hyperliquid Labs reaffirmed its commitment to the advancement of DeFi as a transformative financial paradigm.
The company noted that DeFi holds the potential to deliver a more open, transparent, and efficient financial system that serves a broader range of users.
By proactively engaging with the CFTC, Hyperliquid Labs is not only voicing its support for regulatory oversight but also showcasing DeFi protocols.
Mostly those built on the Hyperliquid blockchain, can uphold high standards of market integrity, efficiency, and user protection.
The submission aims to serve as a model for how decentralized projects can constructively participate in policy development.
