Hyperliquid posted recently that real-world-asset open interest on the platform hit $2.6B, double what it was two months ago. That number is abstract until you actually look at who is using these markets.

A few real positions sitting on the book right now:

1. Wallet 0x8def...2dae (a $43M Hyperliquid whale with +184% all-time ROI and 50+ days active) opened a 10x short on Intel stock for $1.77M notional at $106.41 a few hours ago. Same wallet also short HYPE, TON, SAGA. Using crypto perps to short a US equity at 10x leverage on a Tuesday morning. That used to require an offshore CFD broker or a margin account at IBKR.
2. Wallet 0x7c93...c8fd is long $30M of SP500 at 50x leverage (entry 7,404, current 7,369, down $141K), and long another $30M of an index called XYZ100 at 30x leverage (entry 28,624, current 28,781, up $162K). One wallet, $60M of US equity exposure, on a venue that 18 months ago only listed BTC and ETH perps.
3. Wallet 0x1e48...e773 is long $37.9M of Brent Oil at 20x leverage from $101.34, currently up $1.83M as oil sits at $106.21. Account value $9.6M. Position is 3.9x the wallet's net liq.

The SEC reversed course on tokenized stocks last week. The Clarity Act is moving through Congress. And in parallel, the rails for "I want to short Intel earnings without leaving my crypto wallet" already exist and are clearing $2.6B in OI.

Hyperliquid is becoming a 24/7 multi-asset venue. Crypto natives get equity/commodity exposure without a US brokerage, KYC at a CFD shop, or overnight gaps
