Perpetual contracts linked to traditional assets like stocks, indexes, gold, and oil on the Hyperliquid platform have grown to represent more than 80% of the trading volume of its Bitcoin perpetual contracts. This trend began in April when traditional-asset markets first surpassed Bitcoin contracts in volume. The rise in traditional asset perpetual trading coincides with a decline in overall crypto trading volumes and volatility, as well as an increase in stablecoin settlements and tokenized equity holders. Despite Bitcoin's fall from its peak in October 2025, traditional markets continue to show strong trading activity compared to crypto, with U.S. equities trading volumes vastly outpacing crypto exchanges in July 2026.
