Hyperliquid backs the SEC’s repeal of the trade-through rule, calling for the establishment of best execution guidelines for on-chain markets.

In June, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed repealing Rule 611 (the trade-through rule), a core provision of Regulation NMS (Reg NMS), as well as the ban on locked or crossed quotes, arguing that order processing should be governed by market competition and brokers’ best execution obligations. HPC (Hyperliquid Policy Center) and Douro Labs (a core contributor to the Pyth Network) jointly submitted a comment letter backing the proposal, urging the SEC to provide principle-based best execution guidance for on-chain markets. The letter noted that Rule 611 is premised on all venues pre-disclosing quotes and having a central information processing system aggregate them into the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO), a framework fundamentally incompatible with how on-chain transactions actually operate. Automated Market Maker (AMM)-type venues do not pre-disclose quotes, with prices determined in real time during trades based on liquidity pools; on-chain order books, meanwhile, operate entirely outside of centralized quote systems. It also called on the SEC to confirm that tokenized Reg NMS stocks remain subject to Reg NMS’s investor protection framework, adding that protections should not vary based on the settlement ledger used. Repealing Rule 611 would allow market structure to evolve through competition rather than regulatory design, and the letter recommended that when the NBBO is missing or does not reflect on-chain conditions, independent reference prices based on transparent, manipulation-resistant methodologies be recognized.

Hyperliquid’s USDC reserve fund revenue sharing mechanism will launch on August 26, with an expected annual contribution of $200 million for HYPE token buybacks.

Hyperliquid’s AQAv2 stablecoin model protocol has previously secured support from 19 out of 26 validators, with the mechanism’s revenue accrual set to officially launch on August 26. Meanwhile, Circle has transferred roughly $4.4 billion in USDC to Coinbase on HyperEVM via the AQAv2 mechanism, marking the largest single USDC transfer on HyperEVM to date. If all proceeds as planned, revenue generated by AQAv2 will start accruing on August 26, with the first payment expected to enter the Assistance Fund on October 3. AQAv2 (Aligned Quote Asset v2) is a stablecoin mechanism announced by Hyperliquid in May this year, allowing stablecoins not exclusively issued by Hyperliquid—including USDC—to obtain "Aligned" qualification. According to public information, AQAv2 returns most of the stablecoin revenue to the Hyperliquid ecosystem: 90% of the revenue is allocated to the relevant mechanism, and 100% of that sum is then used to repurchase and burn HYPE tokens. Coinbase is designated as the fund deployer, while Circle handles technical deployment; both parties will also stake HYPE to participate in the mechanism. Previously, the mechanism required stablecoins to be exclusive assets of Hyperliquid, but AQAv2 removes this restriction, focusing instead on HIP-4 standardized markets and perpetual contract markets operated by validators. Per public disclosures, AQAv2 is projected to generate up to approximately $200 million in revenue, further boosting token value capture through the HYPE repurchase and burn mechanism.

Hyperliquid has rolled out its HIP-4 feature update, allowing deployers to adjust the ratio of outcome fees to configuration fees, with the mainnet launch set to follow a conservative phased approach.

Hyperliquid announces HIP-4 has rolled out multiple new features: Deployers can now add named results after a question is created, with the new results’ initial balances matching the pending fallback balance; Template instantiation now requires setting a deployerFeeScale — a fee multiplier similar to HIP-3, which deployers can configure between 0 and 10 to charge result fees; A new shortString type hint has been added for template-side names, simplifying interface field parsing; Settlement details have been pruned from L1 state, so dependent node APIs or precompiled application readers can index required data independently; Multiple new template sets have been added to the testnet, with template IDs using sequential suffixes — all except the highest sequential ID in each set are marked as deprecated templates. After the next network upgrade, the fee mechanism will activate for validator-deployed result markets, with the average transaction fee for these markets set at half the rate of non-result spot trades. The HIP-4 mainnet launch will follow a conservative phased rollout: Each deployer will initially be capped at 100 concurrent results and a maximum of 500 result deployments per day; Once the technology stabilizes, these limits are expected to quickly rise to 1000 concurrent results and 5000 daily deployments, with further limit increase plans to be developed based on feedback.

Hyperliquid responds to Hynix contract pinning incident: The Trade.xyz team is investigating and will issue an announcement once a conclusion is reached.

Hyperliquid officially responded to the price pinning incident in its SK Hynix (SKHYNIX) perpetual contract market, explaining how the HIP-3 market operates. Hyperliquid is a permissionless blockchain, where different teams can deploy and run markets on it as an infrastructure layer. The SKHYNIX perpetual contract was deployed and operated by the Trade.xyz team, which is currently investigating the incident and will share updates once a conclusion is reached. Secondly, HIP-3 deployers push their market’s mark price, oracle price, and external perpetual price inputs. Based on today’s posts and support tickets, it may be necessary to walk through this mechanism. Deployers can choose to adopt a mark price method similar to that used for perpetual contracts operated by validators (such as BTC). In this case, the protocol contributes one of three median components: the median of on-chain data (latest trade price, best bid, best ask). The other two components are pushed by the deployer and influence the final mark price. For a simplified example: if the median of on-chain data (latest trade price, best bid, best ask) is 100, but the deployer pushes (150, 151), the mark price will be 150. Note: As of press time, Hyperliquid officials have not provided further clarification.
