cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Hyperliquid’s HYPE token traded near $88.45 on October 1, down 2.74% for the day and about 9.6% below its recent peak of $97.88. The pullback occurred as the Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) submitted a request to European regulators regarding the classification of perpetual futures. HPC argued that these instruments should retain their usual legal treatment under existing derivatives rules even when traded on a public blockchain. This submission was part of the European Commission’s review of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation.
