Hyperliquid Strategies Subsidiary Seeks CFTC FCM Registration as Quarterly Revenue Reaches $13.3 Million

According to ChainCatcher, Hyperliquid Strategies disclosed in results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, that a subsidiary had applied to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to register as a futures commission merchant (FCM). If approved, the FCM would serve U.S. customer accounts in permissioned markets deployed under the HIP-3* framework. The company said it could not guarantee the application’s approval timeline or outcome. Revenue was $13.3 million, including $12.3 million from staking HYPE holdings and validator commissions and $1 million in interest income. Net income was $620.6 million, largely reflecting $803 million in unrealized HYPE gains; the company recorded $172.3 million in income tax. As of September 30, it held 38.52 million HYPE, had $3.7643 billion in total assets, $340.3 million in shareholders’ equity, and no debt. The company raised $911 million through committed equity financing and deployed $802 million, including $785 million to buy 9.1 million HYPE and $17 million to repurchase 2.7 million PURR shares. Its HYPE holdings rose from 29.3 million on June 30. Its validator node operated with Unit became the network’s largest non-foundation validator. Hyperliquid has also announced HIP-3* deployer functionality, allowing independent operators to run permissioned markets.
