Hyperliquid Strategies files for U.S. futures commission merchant status and reports $620.6 M Q3 profit
Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. filed a CFTC application for a futures commission merchant (FCM) to handle U.S. client accounts for its upcoming HIP‑3 permissioned markets. In the quarter ended September 30, 2026 the company posted net income of $620.6 million, driven largely by an $803 million unrealized gain on its HYPE token holdings. It deployed $802 million of capital, raised $911 million in equity, and increased its treasury to about 38.5 million HYPE tokens valued at $3.505 billion. CEO David Schamis said the FCM filing and token accumulation are part of a strategy to bring on‑chain perpetual futures to regulated U.S. investors.
Why it matters
The pending FCM approval could allow Hyperliquid to offer regulated U.S. futures products, expanding its addressable market (the company notes this in its filing). The quarter’s profit is heavily dependent on HYPE token price movements, so future earnings may be volatile if token values change.
