Hyperliquid has established the Hyperliquid Policy Center in Washington, D.C., to advocate for clearer U.S. regulations on decentralized finance (DeFi) and perpetual derivatives. The nonprofit aims to engage directly with Congress and federal regulators, addressing policy gaps and publishing research. Hyper Foundation has pledged 1 million HYPE tokens, valued at approximately $28 million, to support the center's operations. The center, described as an independent research and advocacy group, will focus on helping DeFi operate within the U.S. regulatory framework. CEO Jake Chervinsky emphasized the need for new rules to accommodate decentralized systems, as existing financial regulations are not designed for such platforms. The center plans to work closely with lawmakers and federal agencies to address complex issues in decentralized markets. The initiative is backed by a team including Policy Counsel Brad Bourque and Policy Director Salah Ghazzal. Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan highlighted the need for a unified policy voice in the DeFi space, with education and advocacy as key components of the effort. The launch coincides with broader policy discussions, including potential White House meetings on stablecoin yields.
