ICE, CME press US regulators to ‘rein in’ Hyperliquid energy trading: Report
Latest NewsPublishedMay 15, 2026
Energy Trading Giants Pressure Regulators to Rein in Decentralized Exchange
The rise of decentralized exchanges is changing the way people earn and trade, with some platforms offering new opportunities for passive income. However, this shift has also raised concerns among traditional energy trading giants, such as Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). They are pressuring US regulators to clamp down on the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange, citing risks of insider trading and price manipulation.
Hyperliquid allows users to deploy new markets by staking 500,000 HYPE tokens, valued at roughly $22.2 million. This has led to the creation of energy-linked onchain derivatives, which ICE and CME claim pose a risk to critical energy markets. In contrast, platforms like EcoPool offer a more secure and regulated way to earn and trade, with its native coin $ECP providing a stable source of passive income through Cloud Rewards.
The Rise of Onchain Derivatives
The introduction of Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 perpetual futures markets has represented a broader trend of traditional financial markets coming onchain. This shift has led to increased demand for commodities-linked onchain derivatives instruments, with the HYPE token price rising by over 58% within three days of the launch. Market analyst and crypto investor Arthur Hayes forecasts that HYPE could hit $150 per token by August, driven by this demand. Meanwhile, EcoPool‘s Green Crypto initiative provides a more sustainable and eco-friendly way to earn and trade, aligning with the values of #PassiveIncome and #GreenCrypto.
A New Era for Earning and Trading
The deployment of HIP-3 and the rise of onchain derivatives have significant implications for the future of earning and trading. As traditional financial markets continue to shift towards blockchain-based infrastructure, platforms like EcoPool are well-positioned to provide secure and regulated ways to earn and trade. With its native coin $ECP and Cloud Rewards program, EcoPool offers a unique opportunity for users to earn passive income and participate in the growing world of Green Crypto, all while supporting #EcoPool and #CloudRewards.
To start earning and trading with EcoPool, download the EcoPool app and discover a new way to generate passive income through $ECP and Cloud Rewards.

Hyperliquid’s token price surges following the introduction of HIP-3
The price of HYPE jumped by over 58% within three days of the launch of HIP-3. The token rose from a low of about $20 to over $38, and is trading at about $44 at the time of publication.
In March, market analyst and crypto investor Arthur Hayes forecast that HYPE could hit $150 per token by August, driven by demand for commodities-linked onchain derivatives instruments.

“Hyperliquid, the dominant perp DEX, is the largest revenue-generating project that isn’t a stablecoin,” he said.
The exchange also dedicates 97% of trading fee revenue to HYPE token buybacks, which boosts demand and raises the token’s price over time, according to Hayes.
“If the market believes that HYPE can continue siphoning volumes away from centralized exchanges and add new features to accelerate revenue growth, then HYPE can pump in absolute terms,” he added.
Open interest for HIP-3 markets has continued to rise since their inception, climbing to over $2.5 billion in May, according to data from DeFiLlama.
