Bloomberg Terminal Adds Hyperliquid Perpetual Prices

Bloomberg Terminal has integrated 24-hour streaming prices for select Hyperliquid perpetual contracts, according to a report by Crypto.news on October 5, 2026. The move allows professional traders to monitor Hyperliquid markets alongside traditional asset references directly within the Terminal, without requiring a separate data platform.

What the integration covers

Bloomberg users can now monitor prices from Hyperliquid’s perpetual markets across a range of asset classes. This includes contracts linked to cryptocurrencies, equities, commodities, foreign exchange, and indexes, according to Michael McDonough of Bloomberg, as cited by Crypto.news. The functionality is designed for monitoring and comparison, not execution.

Hyperliquid’s expansion beyond crypto perpetuals has been driven by its HIP 3 framework, which allows independent deployers to create perpetual markets tied to different asset classes. Contracts linked to stocks, commodities, indexes, and private companies have developed alongside the platform’s main crypto markets. Trading activity reached a new high in September 2026, with open interest hitting $18 billion on September 23, surpassing the previous record of $16.36 billion set four days earlier. Bitcoin, Ether, and HYPE accounted for approximately $9.33 billion of that total, with HIP 3 markets contributing additional activity.

PANews reported that the addition broadens Hyperliquid’s visibility and credibility, making its prices a recognizable source beyond traditional markets. The report also emphasized that trading teams can now compare Hyperliquid prices with Bloomberg reference prices without leaving their existing workflows, reinforcing the narrative of a round-the-clock on-chain market for global assets.

Other paths to professional access

Bloomberg’s integration is part of a broader trend of making Hyperliquid data accessible to professional trading firms. In September 2026, DoubleZero introduced five Hyperliquid data feeds through its Edge service, targeting trading firms, market makers, and quantitative desks. Four feeds provide information from Hyperliquid’s native perpetual markets and trade[XYZ] markets, including contracts linked to commodities. A fifth carries order intents derived from Hyperliquid mempool transactions. DoubleZero said its service provides sequenced market information without requiring users to rebuild the Hyperliquid order book from public API updates. Hyperliquid joined Solana and Kalshi as the third venue available through Edge when the service went live.

Separately, Payward, the parent company of Kraken, announced plans in September 2026 to offer regulated Hyperliquid perpetuals to eligible U.S. clients through HIP 3 infrastructure. Under the proposed setup, CFTC-regulated Bitnomial would deploy, administer, clear, and settle the contracts, while NinjaTrader Clearing would carry eligible customer accounts. The planned service remains subject to regulatory approval. Hyperliquid recorded nearly $237 billion in perpetual trading volume during the 30 days surrounding that announcement, according to DefiLlama figures cited at the time.

Regulatory attention has also grown. In August 2026, the Hyperliquid Policy Center asked the SEC and CFTC to create a path for qualifying equity perpetuals to operate in the United States as security futures. The group said HIP 3 markets had processed more than $480 billion in cumulative notional volume during their first 10 months. However, regulatory treatment remains unresolved in several markets; Singapore’s Monetary Authority added Hyperliquid to its Investor Alert List in June 2026, while Hyperliquid said it had never claimed to hold a license or authorization from the regulator.

Why it matters

For professional traders and financial institutions, Bloomberg Terminal’s addition of Hyperliquid prices means they can now evaluate the decentralized derivatives platform’s markets using the same interface they rely on for traditional assets. This could increase Hyperliquid’s visibility and perceived legitimacy among institutional players, potentially drawing more trading volume and liquidity to the platform. However, the absence of direct execution means firms must still use separate systems for trading, custody, and settlement, which may limit immediate adoption. The integration also highlights the growing convergence of decentralized and traditional finance, as infrastructure providers seek to bridge data gaps and regulatory frameworks continue to evolve.

What to watch

Market participants should monitor whether Bloomberg expands the integration to include trade execution or additional Hyperliquid markets. Additionally, regulatory decisions from the SEC and CFTC regarding equity perpetuals, as well as the approval status of Payward’s proposed regulated product, will shape institutional access to Hyperliquid in the United States.
