Crypto platform Hyperliquid (HYPE) has launched a new advocacy group aimed at influencing decentralized finance regulation in the U.S. The initiative seeks to ensure that decentralized finance, blockchain infrastructure, and derivatives markets are included in future regulatory frameworks. The newly established Hyperliquid Policy Center, based in Washington, DC, will engage directly with policymakers as blockchain platforms expand in financial markets.
Hyperliquid Policy Center to Drive Regulatory Discussions
The Hyperliquid Policy Center officially launched on Wednesday with Jake Chervinsky, a well-known crypto lawyer, at the helm. Chervinsky, who has served in senior roles at both the Blockchain Association and crypto venture firm Variant, has been named the center’s founder and CEO. The center’s primary focus will be advocating for regulatory clarity in decentralized finance, particularly in the areas of blockchain financial infrastructure and perpetual derivatives.
Hyperliquid’s efforts come as decentralized finance continues to grow, yet remains shrouded in regulatory uncertainty. Blockchain platforms, including decentralized exchanges, face challenges in operating across different jurisdictions. The center aims to help create a clear and structured regulatory framework for these financial systems to operate within the U.S., providing greater clarity for businesses and consumers.
Hyperliquid’s Policy Push Powered by Blockchain Ecosystem
Hyperliquid operates as a layer 1 blockchain and perpetual futures exchange, gaining attention as more traders shift toward commodity-linked markets. The platform has also ventured into blockchain-based prediction markets, reflecting the rising demand for decentralized trading tools. The organization’s new policy center will be funded by the Hyper Foundation, which will contribute 1 million HYPE tokens to back regulatory engagement.
HYPE tokens, currently valued at $9, offer financial support for the policy center’s advocacy efforts. Hyperliquid aims to ensure blockchain innovation remains a key part of the evolving financial policy discussions in Washington. As Congress works on crypto market structure legislation, Hyperliquid’s policy center is positioning itself to influence the direction of the legislative process.
The Hyperliquid team includes experienced policy experts, such as Salah Ghazzal, former policy lead at Variant, and Brad Bourque, policy counsel who previously worked at Sullivan and Cromwell. Their legal and regulatory experience will support the center’s advocacy for decentralized finance in U.S. markets. The center’s launch marks an important step in pushing for regulatory recognition and inclusion of blockchain-based financial markets.
