Urge CFTC to Include Energy Perpetual Contracts in U.S. Regulatory Market]HPC, along with Hyperliquid, the largest third-party perpetual contract provider in its ecosystem, has recently submitted a joint letter to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), urging the inclusion of energy perpetual contracts such as crude oil and natural gas into the U.S. regulated market. This would allow market participants to manage energy price risks 24/7. The letter cites the conflict in the Middle East in February of this year as an example: during the closure of the U.S. futures market, overseas participants managed their exposure through Hyperliquid's oil perpetual contracts, with about two-thirds of price fluctuations during the first weekend of the conflict being priced on-chain in advance, while U.S. companies had to wait for the futures market to reopen on Sunday night. It is reported that the CFTC approved the first batch of digital asset perpetual contracts for trading in the U.S. in May and publicly sought opinions on energy perpetual contracts in June. Since its launch in October 2025, the WTI, Brent crude oil, and Henry Hub natural gas markets deployed by Trade [XYZ] have accumulated a trading volume of over $50 billion. The letter proposes five recommendations: technology-neutral regulation, recognition of around-the-clock trading, clarification of continuous market time limit rules, allowing stablecoins as eligible margin, and permitting the use of on-chain infrastructure, emphasizing that the implementation of this product does not require new legislation.
