JPMorgan Chase reports that the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid is attracting a growing number of non-crypto traders, particularly those seeking exposure to crude oil prices outside of trading hours. The report notes that during the recent weekend of escalating tensions in the Middle East, traditional markets (such as the CME) were closed, while trading volume on Hyperliquid's WTI crude oil perpetual contracts surged. Daily trading volume for this contract reached approximately $1.7 billion, with open interest around $300 million, making it the platform's third-largest trading instrument after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Priced in USDC and supporting up to 20x leverage, the product is attractive to traders seeking efficient exposure. JPMorgan Chase believes that the growth of platforms like Hyperliquid reflects a rising demand for 24/7 trading of traditional assets. Unlike DEXs that rely on Automated Market Makers (AMMs), Hyperliquid uses an on-chain order book model, offering more precise pricing, lower slippage, and a trading experience closer to that of traditional exchanges.

A Kentucky bill (HB380) aimed at regulating crypto ATMs has sparked controversy due to its new provisions concerning hardware wallets, with critics arguing that the regulation could "effectively ban self-custody." Originally targeting cryptocurrency self-service terminal operators, the bill covered licensing, compliance requirements, transaction limits, and user protection. However, the latest revisions require hardware wallet providers to "provide mechanisms to assist users in resetting access credentials," including passwords, PINs, and mnemonic phrases. Industry insiders point out that this requirement conflicts with the core design of non-custodial wallets. Since private keys and mnemonic phrases are only controlled by the user, wallet manufacturers cannot access or recover this information, making the provision technically difficult to implement. Organizations such as the Bitcoin Policy Institute state that such provisions are tantamount to creating a "backdoor" for wallets, weakening the security of crypto assets and potentially forcing users to switch to centralized custody services. The bill still needs to pass the state Senate review, and the relevant provisions may still be modified or deleted.
