Briefings
The FT reports that Hyperliquid operates a decentralized venue in Singapore, which is outside the jurisdiction of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). This distinction is critical because Singapore's rules differentiate between crypto derivatives on approved exchanges and those offered elsewhere, implying a regulatory gap for Hyperliquid's operations.
