Hyperliquid to make Payward the first CFTC-regulated HIP-3 deployer

#Hyperliquid plans to make #Payward , the parent company of Kraken, the first CFTC-regulated deployer on its #HIP3 markets. The move comes as the decentralized trading protocol develops permissioned markets to support regulated perpetual futures trading in the U.S. The HIP-3 upgrade would allow deployers to limit market access through onchain allowlists, potentially enabling regulated operators to use Hyperliquid’s infrastructure while complying with relevant requirements. However, it remains unclear how these access controls would work in practice, including whether markets deployed by Payward would feature built-in KYC checks.

Payward postpones its IPO to Q2 2027

#Payward , the parent company of crypto exchange #Kraken, has postponed its highly anticipated IPO until next year. Payward initially paused its IPO plans in March as falling crypto prices, trading volumes, and valuations weakened market conditions. The company had confidentially filed a draft S-1 with the SEC in November 2025, shortly after raising $800M at a $20B valuation.

Co-CEO Arjun Sethi had confirmed the IPO remained on track just weeks before the delay, highlighting continued uncertainty in the crypto listing market even for one of the industry’s largest exchanges.

Hyperliquid rises 3.5%, driven by expansion talks in the United States and increased institutional demand: Hyperliquid’s (HYPE) coin rose 3.5% to reach $83, amid reports of advanced talks with Payward (the parent company of the Kraken platform) to launch regulated perpetual futures contracts in the United States via the Bitnomial platform, pending approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Institutional inflows— including a weekly order of $56.8 million through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and large token buyback operations—helped boost this price rally.

#Hyperliquid designates #payward , Kraken’s parent company, as the first prospective provider of CFTC-regulated perpetual contracts.

Hyperliquid has formally designated Payward, the parent company of cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, as its first prospective provider of CFTC-regulated perpetual contracts (HIP-3), a move that would enable regulated perpetual contract trading on the Hyperliquid network under U.S. oversight.

HIP-3 is Hyperliquid’s framework for deploying perpetual contracts on its platform. If approved, Payward would become the first entity to operate under this structure with CFTC regulatory status. However, several conditions remain outstanding: CFTC approval has not yet been granted, no launch date has been announced, and the HIP-3 mainnet is not yet operational.

This development signals a broader effort to bring U.S.-regulated derivatives infrastructure to decentralized trading platforms, with Hyperliquid positioning itself as a venue for regulation-compliant perpetual contracts.

For the first time, a crypto company is directly buying an EU bank. Kraken parent Payward has agreed to acquire Lithuania’s Saldo Bank, making it the first crypto company to acquire an EU banking license—the path is straightforward: rather than building a bank from scratch, buy an existing EU-licensed entity.

What will it do with it? Expand its European business into interest-bearing deposits, lending, card issuance, and euro payments. The deal is expected to close in 2027, subject to regulatory approval.

The move is especially notable in the current climate: Qivalis, a euro stablecoin joint venture backed by 37 banks including BNP Paribas, ING, and BBVA, has just obtained a Dutch electronic money institution license, but still needs to meet the remaining MiCA requirements before it can issue a euro stablecoin. Meanwhile, JPMorgan has deployed its tokenized dollar deposit, JPM Coin, on Ethereum mainnet (it was previously on Base). The boundary between traditional finance and crypto is being bridged in both directions—and this time, crypto is the one taking the initiative to cross over.
