Hyperliquid has entered the prediction market space by launching macro-focused outcome contracts tied to real-world events like US inflation data and Federal Reserve interest rate decisions.
This expansion builds on Hyperliquid’s earlier work with crypto price prediction contracts and now puts the platform in more direct competition with established prediction markets like Polymarket.
Unlike many prediction market platforms that use external oracle systems for settlement, Hyperliquid plans to handle dispute resolution internally with its validator network. Validators will use external news feeds and voting to decide outcomes for markets tied to off-chain events.
The company said the new contracts are fully collateralized, not leveraged, so users’ losses are limited to what they pay for the contract. Traders can buy “Yes” or “No” positions on specific outcomes, with contracts settling at either 1 USDC or zero depending on the result.
This launch comes as Hyperliquid’s HYPE token keeps rallying. The token recently reached a new all-time high as institutional interest and demand grew, helped by new exchange-traded products.
Analysts say moving into macro prediction markets could help Hyperliquid grow beyond just a crypto derivatives platform. It could become a broader trading platform where users can trade crypto, hedge macro risks, and bet on real-world events all in one place.
