War Time Validation: Hyperliquid is the go-to safe haven during crises, with 24/7 non-stop trading as its major advantage
BlockBeats News, March 2nd: As the US-Iran conflict escalated and the traditional financial markets closed for the weekend, the crypto derivatives platform Hyperliquid emerged as the primary venue for investors to hedge commodity risks.
According to Bloomberg, around the time of the conflict outbreak on February 28th, a large number of crypto traders flocked to Hyperliquid to trade perpetual contracts linked to crude oil, gold, and other assets to hedge against geopolitical shocks. Due to perpetual contracts having no expiration date and supporting 24/7 trading, it became the only available real-time hedging tool during the closure of traditional markets.
Prior to this, Avi Felman, a senior executive at an investment institution, had predicted that "Hyperliquid will become indispensable to fund managers due to its 24/7 non-stop trading." This prediction was validated during this Middle East crisis—when the global mainstream commodity and forex markets were closed, the crypto futures market took on the role of price discovery and risk hedging.
Analysts believe that such "wartime liquidity stress tests" are strengthening the positioning of the crypto derivatives market in the global macro risk system.
