Nvidia perpetual futures stay weak ahead of U.S. trading as rules take shape
Hyperliquid traders saw Nvidia-linked perpetual futures fall over the weekend as attention turned to the first official U.S. session following reports about Jensen Huang.
Hyperliquid traders saw Nvidia-linked perpetual futures fall over the weekend as attention turned to the first official U.S. session following reports about Jensen Huang. Hyperliquid (HYPE) is trading at ₹6,928 ($73.67), up 1.0% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 2 outlets (Cryptopolitan, NewsBTC), plus live market data, as of Mon, 09 Nov 2026 12:45:01 UTC.
The move highlights how traders are using on-chain perpetual contracts to position around a listed equity, while the CFTC’s November 3 statement signals that individual-stock derivatives could gain a regulated U.S. trading venue.
- Nvidia-linked perpetual futures declined sharply over the weekend on Hyperliquid.
- The trading followed reports of an affair involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
- CFTC Chair Michael Selig said equity perpetuals may trade on properly registered U.S. exchanges.
- Hyperliquid TVL stands at $1.73B, down 8.4% over seven days.
Both Cryptopolitan and NewsBTC frame the episode as part of the expansion and scrutiny surrounding individual-equity perpetual futures. Cryptopolitan reports the specific weekend decline in Nvidia contracts on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 market and links its significance to the coming official Nvidia session after reports about Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, while NewsBTC adds the regulatory context that CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said on November 3 that such contracts can begin trading on appropriately registered U.S. exchanges. The outlets do not provide conflicting figures, but they emphasize different aspects: Cryptopolitan concentrates on the immediate market reaction, whereas NewsBTC focuses on the route to regulated U.S. trading.

Nvidia-linked perpetual futures fell sharply over the weekend on 
Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 market, according to Cryptopolitan. The on-chain contracts are being watched closely because the move comes ahead of the first official Nvidia trading session following news of an affair involving Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang and Alice Huang. The available coverage does not quantify the Nvidia contract decline or establish a broader series of figures for the position.
NewsBTC supplied a broader regulatory dimension, reporting that CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said on November 3 that individual-equity perpetual futures can begin trading on appropriately registered U.S. exchanges. That development matters because it points toward a more conventional regulatory setting for products that already exist and trade on decentralized, on-chain venues such as Hyperliquid.
Although the outlets do not contradict one another, their emphasis differs. Cryptopolitan centers the weekend Nvidia move and its connection to the impending official session, while NewsBTC highlights the CFTC statement and the prospect of registered U.S. exchanges. Together, the coverage links short-term trading in a headline-sensitive equity derivative with a longer-term shift in where equity-linked perpetual contracts could be offered.
Hyperliquid’s position within that market is substantial but has weakened over the past week. DeFiLlama data show the platform’s total value locked at $1.73 billion, an 8.4% decline over seven days. The HYPE token is also under pressure, trading at $72.95 after falling 5.25% over 24 hours and 14.94% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $17.46 billion.
The wider crypto market is broadly lower. Total market capitalization stands at $2.54 trillion, 
Bitcoin is down 2.31% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index is at 29, placing sentiment in Fear. The combination of falling HYPE, declining Hyperliquid TVL, and cautious market sentiment provides context for the attention surrounding the Nvidia perpetual activity, while the next official session and any further regulatory implementation remain the key events to monitor.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Hyperliquid (HYPE) has moved from ₹6,860.76$72.95 to ₹6,928.48$73.67 — +0.99%.
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 ≈ ₹7,366.63 (about $73.67), down 4.5% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
