Decrypt reports that 
Hyperliquid Strategies has applied to become a US futures commission merchant. The application remains pending, so regulatory approval has not yet been granted and the proposed trading access is not currently established.
If approved, the company could offer American traders access to perpetual futures on permissioned Hyperliquid markets. The move would connect the platform’s derivatives products with the US regulatory framework for futures commission merchants, according to the single supplied report from Decrypt.
Decrypt is the only outlet provided to cover the application, and no independent corroboration is available in the supplied coverage. The reported central facts are the filing, the US futures commission merchant application and the potential availability of perpetual futures on permissioned Hyperliquid markets; no approval, launch schedule or additional regulatory detail was supplied.
Market data show a mixed backdrop for Hyperliquid. HYPE is priced at $78.72, up 1.94% over 24 hours but down 12.46% over seven days, while its market capitalization is $18.83 billion. DeFiLlama reports Hyperliquid TVL of $1.84 billion, a 5.7% decline over seven days.
The broader crypto market is flat, with total capitalization at $2.62 trillion. 
Bitcoin is up 0.15% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed Index stands at 28, classified as Fear. The application is therefore moving forward amid subdued overall conditions and weaker seven-day performance in HYPE and Hyperliquid TVL.
Since this brief published about 3 hours ago, Hyperliquid (HYPE) has moved from ₹7,441.96$78.72 to ₹7,427.77$78.57 — -0.19%.
The chart plots HYPE's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 HYPE ≈ ₹7,586.33 (about $78.57), up 2.5% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 2.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
