A recent spike in commodities trading is pushing activity on Hyperliquid\u2019s newer, builder-run markets to record levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Open interest across these markets has climbed past US$790 million (AU$1.21 billion), up sharply from about US$260 million (AU$376 million) just a month ago. That growth suggests traders are using the platform more aggressively, especially for markets tied to metals and other real-world assets (RWAs) that have been moving strongly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HIP-3 open interest reached an all-time high of $790M, driven recently by a surge in commodities trading. <\/p>\n<p>HIP-3 OI has been hitting new ATHs each week.

These teams stake HYPE tokens, run their own markets, and compete on liquidity and pricing. As a result, trading is spreading across many parallel markets instead of sitting in a single, centrally run book.<\/p>\n<p>According to CEO Jeff Yan, this competition is tightening spreads and deepening liquidity. He claims Hyperliquid now offers better price discovery than major centralised venues like Binance, pointing to narrower BTC perpetual spreads and more size available on the order book. In simple terms, traders can move in and out of positions with less slippage.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blockquote-block_eb63e58e0e032ea518d6a61025df00b4\" class=\"blockquote-container variant-personal\">\n<div class=\"blockquote-text\">\n<p>Hyperliquid has quietly achieved an important milestone of becoming the most liquid venue for crypto price discovery in the world.
