Hyperliquid shows how onchain perps could challenge Wall Street: Pantera
Perpetual futures and Hyperliquid’s blockchain infrastructure are expanding into traditional asset classes with around-the-clock trading, according to Pantera Capital.
Perpetual futures are on track to become one of the dominant trading instruments in global finance, with decentralized exchange Hyperliquid demonstrating how blockchain-based infrastructure could challenge traditional markets, according to Pantera Capital.
The blockchain-focused asset manager said in a Wednesday X post that perpetual futures offer structural advantages over traditional derivatives, including 24/7 trading, no contract expiries, simpler position management and continuous price discovery, making them increasingly attractive beyond crypto markets.
Pantera, an investor in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, said Hyperliquid has become the leading example of that shift by expanding perpetual futures beyond cryptocurrencies into equities, commodities and stock indices as part of founder Jeff Yan’s vision of “housing all of finance.”
