Payward, the parent company of Kraken exchange, is partnering with Hyperliquid to offer on-chain perpetual futures to US traders through the HIP-3* protocol. The collaboration leverages Bitnomial’s CFTC-regulated infrastructure, as Bitnomial holds exchange and clearinghouse licenses acquired in May 2026. This marks the first time a registered US entity will deploy on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 infrastructure. As of September 16, 2026, HIP-3 hosts 142 active builder-deployed markets generating 2.29 billion dollars in 24-hour trading volume with 3.98 billion dollars in open interest. The formal proposal submitted to the CFTC remains pending approval.
