Onchain finance isn’t a rebrand for DeFi. It’s a new product category built with one goal in mind: competition.
DeFi takes trust out of finance. Onchain finance adds some back in to make the best product. @RebeccaRettig1 and I explain in @FortuneMagazine:

Excited to share that I’ve joined @HyperliquidPC as Head of Government Relations.
After more than a decade working at the intersection of policy, agriculture, commodities, and advocacy, I’m looking forward to bringing that experience to a new set of challenges.
There’s a real opportunity to shape how onchain markets develop in the U.S., and to make sure the policy frameworks around them are clear, workable, and informed by the people and industries that rely on our markets every day.
Thrilled to be working with HPC’s rockstar team, @jchervinsky, @adam_minehardt, @salahghazzal, @BradBourque, @itsgolovina, and @siannabird!

Our joint comment letter with @HyperliquidPC asks the @CFTC to open a regulated U.S. path for energy perpetuals and 24/7 trading.
During this year’s oil shocks, our energy markets stayed open while benchmark markets were closed. They gave the world a live price as events unfolded. On many weekends, trade[XYZ] was the primary venue for price discovery.
The events that shape our global economy rarely wait for markets to open. 24/7 markets are a natural evolution for a global economy in constant flux.
The U.S. has an opportunity to lead by giving perpetuals a clear and credible regulatory home.

The skeptic's case against 24/7 markets usually centers on a single issue: a price formed at 3am on a Saturday couldn't possibly be trusted. Fair concern, but also a testable one.
New research from @blockworksres tracked weekend trading on Hyperliquid across equities, commodities, FX, and indices. Weekend spreads matched or ran tighter than weekday levels, and typical trades filled at close to weekday cost, even with every other venue closed.
Across 614 market-weekends, the weekend price landed closer to the eventual reopen than Friday's close 70.7% of the time. On moves over 1%, it called the direction right 94.9% of the time. About 83 cents of every dollar priced over the weekend showed up at the reopen.
The skeptic’s case was tested. The 3am price wasn’t just tradeable, it was right.

Some people build tools. Others use those tools to offer regulated financial services. Building tools shouldn't trigger registration, and using onchain tools to deliver regulated services shouldn't be off-limits to the firms already registered to provide them.
Today we joined @phantom to urge the @CFTC to modernize its rules and unlock innovation for fintech firms and existing registrants alike. Let’s move our markets forward, and onchain. Read our comment here:

I spent the past few days in Washington with @hyperliquidpc meeting with policymakers during the historic advancement of the Clarity Act. We discussed Hyperliquid, the benefits that it offers to American consumers, and the regulatory path to bring onchain derivatives markets into the United States.
Some conversations were technical with an impressive baseline understanding of Hyperliquid. Discussions included how onchain trading is a financial innovation that has clear global user demand. Other conversations focused more on a first principles introduction to defi and the promise of onchain markets. It was encouraging to see bipartisan support for thoughtful regulation of crypto. I look forward to continuing discussions in DC and working hard to make American access to Hyperliquid a reality.

Today, DEF (@fund_defi) asked the SEC to codify the recent staff guidance on front-end interfaces and wallets through rulemaking.
@HyperliquidPC strongly supports that effort.
Here's what the statement says and why it matters for Hyperliquid. 🧵
Non-custodial front-end interface providers are not brokers, as the SEC rightly clarified in its excellent Staff Statement on April 13.
Today, HPC joined DEF (@fund_defi) and dozens of others in requesting that the SEC formalize that Statement in notice-and-comment rulemaking.
