Hyperliquid launches prediction markets for real-world events
Latest NewsPublishedMay 26, 2026
Breaking Down Barriers: Prediction Markets for Real-World Events
Everyday people can now tap into the potential of prediction markets, thanks to the launch of canonical prediction markets for offchain events by Hyperliquid. This move marks a significant expansion beyond perpetual futures, and analysts are framing it as an onchain superapp. The launch is expected to bring more opportunities for earning and passive income through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto.
Hyperliquid’s prediction markets are built on the HIP-4 platform and use Circle’s USDC as the quote asset. The first markets will open based on the May Consumer Price Index year-over-year change and the June federal funds rate decision. This development allows users to trade event outcomes alongside spot and perpetual futures, all within the existing trading stack. With EcoPool, users can also explore earning opportunities through $ECP, making it an attractive solution for those interested in passive income.
Expanding Functionalities and Growing Potential
The rollout of prediction markets adds weight to the thesis that Hyperliquid is evolving into a broader onchain financial venue. According to experts, the stack is finally mature enough for true crypto superapps to exist without being limited to the wallet form factor. The HYPE token’s price has seen significant growth, and with EcoPool‘s Cloud Rewards, users can earn more through $ECP. The potential for earning and passive income is vast, and EcoPool is at the forefront of this movement.
Hyperliquid’s expanding functionalities are making it the crypto industry’s next “super-app.” The HYPE token is considered one of the most mispriced assets in crypto today, despite outperforming the wider crypto market since the start of 2026. With EcoPool, users can tap into the potential of $ECP and explore new opportunities for earning and passive income. The growth of Hyperliquid and EcoPool is closely tied to the concept of #PassiveIncome and #GreenCrypto.
A New Era for Earning and Passive Income
The launch of prediction markets and the growth of Hyperliquid are expected to bring more attention to the concept of earning and passive income through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto. With EcoPool, users can explore new opportunities for earning through $ECP and be part of a larger movement towards #Bitcoin and #PassiveIncome. The potential for growth is vast, and EcoPool is poised to play a significant role in shaping the future of earning and passive income.
To start earning and exploring the potential of $ECP, download the EcoPool app and discover a new way to tap into the world of Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto. By joining the EcoPool network, you can be part of a community that is shaping the future of earning and passive income, and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in #EcoPool and #GreenCrypto.
“What’s different now is that the stack is finally mature enough for true crypto superapps (aggregated giants) to exist without being limited to the wallet form factor,” Delphi said in a December research report.
The HYPE token’s price soared by 20% when Hyperliquid first announced plans to launch prediction market functionalities, Cointelegraph reported in February.

Is Hyperliquid crypto’s next “super-app”?
Hyperliquid’s expanding functionalities are making it the crypto industry’s next “super-app,” according to Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at crypto asset manager Bitwise. He wrote in a May 19 report:
“Hyperliquid has become the ‘super-app’ Atkins envisioned—a ‘non-SEC regulated platform’ offering investors exposure to “a variety of asset classes.”
Hougan added that the Hyperliquid (HYPE) token is “one of the most mispriced assets in crypto today,” despite outperforming the wider crypto market since the start of 2026. He argued that investors are mispricing it, valuing it only as a perp DEX rather than a financial “super-app.”

Since the beginning of the year, the HYPE rose more than 134% while the total crypto market capitalization fell by around 14%, TradingView data shows.

Hyperliquid is currently the fifth-largest protocol by weekly fees and generated over $11 million in fees during the past week, according to DefiLlama data.
In the month leading up to May 10, Hyperliquid generated $50.95 million in revenue, all of which went directly to token holders with zero spent on incentives.
