Even when traditional stock markets were closed, tokenized stock trading on Hyperliquid exploded to an all-time high.

According to cryptocurrency media outlet U.Today on August 5 (local time), Hyperliquid (HYPE) set a new milestone as its open interest in the traditional asset market HIP-3 surpassed $4.13 billion for the first time. This was confirmed by Hyperscreener ASXN data. Simultaneously, daily trading volume surged 229% to $4.87 billion, completely exceeding the platform's capital base.

Even when traditional stock exchanges are closed, cryptocurrency traders are largely moving away from memecoin speculation towards 24-hour trading of tokenized stocks, commodities, and indices on the blockchain. Contracts linked to shares of memory semiconductor manufacturers SK Hynix and Micron Technology (MU) were among the top traded items, allowing traders to react instantly to overnight news.

Over the past 24 hours, the stock that caused the biggest disruption in the stock sector was Palantir (PLTR). Palantir surged 25.86%, ranking first for the highest gain of the day, and this surge triggered massive liquidations of leveraged positions, causing the overall daily liquidation volume across the market, as distributed by xyz, to surge 544% to over $19.25 million.

However, Hyperliquid's new record also has a dark side. Due to the principles of a free market, weaker participants are quickly filtered out, leading to a near-monopoly structure. Infrastructure project xyz accumulated $4.12 billion out of the total $4.13 billion, almost completely dominating liquidity within Hyperliquid. In this situation, smaller distributors are holding onto only $15 million to $20 million in liquidity, and Felix Protocol, one of the early pioneers of the ecosystem, has already officially announced the closure of its market.

These harsh conditions stem from the platform's token economic structure. Major participants wishing to launch a trading interface must deposit 500 million HYPE as collateral, and half of the fees generated are used for HYPE buybacks. The explosive growth in the Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization sector demonstrates that 24-hour stock trading on the blockchain is no longer a hypothetical experiment but a mature market with billions of dollars in trading volume. However, as this market continues to expand, the decentralized industry will likely face the classic challenge of how to address a structure where virtually all real liquidity is concentrated in a single monopolistic operator.
