This is so bullish ethereum:0x0f2d719407fdbeff09d87557abb7232601fd9f29 and Hypercall, Druck taking a stance on Hyperliquid 24/7 hour markets specifically on equities and @tradexyz products. Hypercall offers options on these perps 24/7, ethereum:0x0f2d719407fdbeff09d87557abb7232601fd9f29 is the options layer for hyperliquid:native and great exposure to this trend. Hypercall did 13% of tradeXYZ's weekly volume the last week of September, as liquidity expands they will probably be the largest source of volume for tradeXYZ perp products via hedging flows... Read the article below to understand this in depth.
I am excited to be an investor in trade(xyz) as they partner with ICE to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States. As a market participant, I am looking forward to to using their innovative product to enhance my investment process.

Stanley Druckenmiller is investing in trade[xyz] as it partners with ICE, owner of the NYSE, to bring 24/7 Hyperliquid perps to the U.S. Perps came first. Options come next. Hypercall is built on Hyperliquid, now in Mainnet Alpha. $SYN $HYPE $SONI.CN $SONIF

Hypercall is bringing vaults to Hyperliquid. First up: SLP, a market-making vault, and single-stock covered call vaults. Anyone can back a strategy and see every trade. Derivatives are moving on-chain. Options are next. $SYN $SONI.CN $SONIF
Managed vaults are coming to Hypercall. A vault lets you put money behind someone who sells options on Hyperliquid for a living, and see every trade they make. We're building them because the easy yield on Hyperliquid has dried up.

Wow SLP and this vault ecosystem should really help Hypercall build out more liquidity and organic vol selling to accommodate incoming traders (typically vol buyers purchasing calls / puts) Excited to see progress here for ethereum:0x0f2d719407fdbeff09d87557abb7232601fd9f29 , we’ve seen this mechanic work very well to bootstrap liquidity for platforms like dydx-chain:native gmx:native and hyperliquid:native with HLP.

Covered call vaults are coming to Hypercall. Stocks came to Hyperliquid as perps first. Open interest on trade[xyz] went from $372M in January to $3.89B. Options are next, and vaults make them simple to use. Hypercall is in Mainnet Alpha. $SYN $SONI.CN $SONIF
Everything is coming to Hyperliquid. Stocks showed up as perps first. Open interest on trade[xyz] went from $372M in January to $3.89B today.

Over $40B has traded on one on-chain options exchange so far, per Celestia. Proof the demand is real. Hypercall brings options to Hyperliquid, where option sellers can hedge with perps in the same place. Options are next. $SYN $SONI.CN $SONIF
Derive, the leading onchain options exchange with over $40B in cumulative trading volume, has used Celestia for nearly 3 years. With V3 now live, we spoke to the Derive team about what changed in the upgrade and why they continue to build on Celestia. Here's what we learned👇

On-chain options did $4.9B in 30 days. On-chain perps did $627B. Under 1%. In traditional markets, options trade about 3x futures. Option sellers hedge with perps. That's why @SynapseProtocol built Hypercall on Hyperliquid. Options are next. $SYN $SONI.CN $SONIF

Big options trades need a fair way to get priced. Hypercall's RFQ V2 is live: market makers compete to quote, up to 10 legs fill as one trade, all or nothing. That's how desks trade options today. Now it's on-chain. $SYN $SONI.CN $SONIF
RFQ V2 is live on Hypercall: better fills on size. Makers compete to price your package. Up to 10 legs fill as one trade, so no legging risk. Stay anonymous, so makers price the trade, not the wallet. Sweep the best quotes across makers in one go: all fill or none. xitter.gq/SynapseProtocol/status…

Promised, then done. 5.9M unclaimed airdrop $S burned onchain Oct 15, and the transactions are public for anyone to check. Proud to run validators on Sonic. $SONI.CN $SONIF
5.9M S burned! 🔥 As previously communicated, unclaimed tokens from the Sonic airdrop were scheduled to be burned. On October 15, the burn was triggered permissionlessly onchain, permanently removing 5.9M S from circulation. Transaction hashes: sonicscan.org/tx/0xf2c8634f7… sonicscan.org/tx/0x4b335d2f4…

Hypercall portfolio margin is live on Hyperliquid (API first). Options and hedges in one account, margined together. That's how pros trade. $SYN $SONI.CN $SONIF
Replying to @0xJaehaerys
good article - but Hypercall spot PM is live Api only for now. Loans are also possible today via box spreads Two other PM categories I'd add: predictions/binaries/outcomes: We'll support this via HIP-4 insights.hypercall.xyz/hip4-… but am sure others will add as well. These are essentially just spreads so they improve cap efficiency Vega hedges - so this is a class no one supports yet (outside of deribit) but @volmexfinance has BVIV live on HL today. You can use these in SPAN to reduce risk under certain scenarios docs.hypercall.xyz/docs/refe… This is a thing on Deribit w/ DVOL although not used too much - but you can imagine it being useful for portfolio shocks (e.g. for sp500 and vix as well)

ethereum:0x0f2d719407fdbeff09d87557abb7232601fd9f29 is the hyperliquid:native aligned options protocol. All hedging flow from options sold on Hypercall take place on Hyperliquid
GM Yesterday Hypercall did more perp volume on Hyperliquid than Metamask, Insilico, Liquid and Axiom. gg

CoinDesk on Hypercall: $640M in options traded since June. Over 80% of it was S&P 500 options. Market makers hedge those trades on Hyperliquid perps. Options flow becomes perp volume. That's why we hold $SYN. @SynapseProtocol $SONI.CN $SONIF coindesk.com/markets/2026/10…

On-chain options were 0.2% of on-chain perp volume in 2025 (@OAK_Res). In September they were approaching 1% (@PinkBrains_io). Small base. Fast climb. That's the shift we're positioned for with $SYN. $SONI.CN $SONIF

It's Sunday. Wall Street is closed. More than half of tokenized U.S. stock trading happens right now, outside market hours. People want markets that never close. Stocks went first. Options are next. That's why we hold $SYN. $SONI.CN $SONIF
🚨HUGE: The IMF says more than HALF of tokenized stock trading happens outside US market hours. The IMF’s latest Global Financial Stability Report studied the five most liquid tokenized US equities, including Tesla, Nvidia and Google. About 80% of trades were for less than one share. But tokenized stocks showed about 1.5 times the volatility of their traditional versions, and were considerably less liquid. Tokenized stocks remain small at about $2.3 BILLION, while the wider tokenized real-world asset market is about $65 BILLION.

this is the confirmation i was waiting for hyperliquid:native wants native options. @SynapseProtocol has already built it when hyperliquid becomes the dominant venue for onchain derivatives, ethereum:0x0f2d719407fdbeff09d87557abb7232601fd9f29 has the top seat at the table
🇸🇬 DAS: Hyperliquid founder @chameleon_jeff says at @blockworksDAS that options are the obvious next piece for the platform, so traders can hedge them against spot and perps on the same order books.
