Bond market sees higher odds of Fed rate hike by year-end amid inflation concerns

Hyperliquid (HYPE), one of the fastest-growing decentralized exchanges in 
crypto, is moving into prediction markets with a proposal aimed at competing 
with Polymarket and Kalshi. Bloomberg reported Wednesday that Hyperliquid is 
testing a new system upgrade called HIP-4, designed to let traders bet on 
real-world outcomes on a platform that has gained attention for how quickly 
and aggressively it has expanded. Hyperliquid Tests HIP-4 Prediction Markets 
HIP-4 is currently in public testing, and its focus would be prediction-style 
contracts rather than Hyperliquid’s traditional core product: perpetual 
futures. Perpetuals are derivative contracts with no expiry that typically 
involve significant leverage, meaning they carry a higher risk profile, 
especially during volatile price moves that can trigger forced liquidations. 
Prediction markets, by contrast, would be built on simpler contract mechanics. 
For example, if a market were created around whether US inflation in July 
would exceed 3.5%, the structure would generate two tokens—one representing 
each possible outcome. Traders could buy or sell either side, and whichever 
token corresponds to the correct outcome would settle at a fixed value once 
the result is known. Related Reading: Galaxy Digital Posts $200M Quarterly 
Loss—Did Hyperliquid Help Avoid New Crisis? A major difference highlighted in 
the reporting is that these proposed prediction contracts would not rely on 
leverage. That could reduce the likelihood of liquidation events that 
frequently disrupt leveraged positions in crypto trading. Sunny Shi, an 
investor at Syncracy Capital, suggested the design could change how 
sophisticated traders approach these bets. He said that HIP-4 would enable 
traders to take advantage of portfolio margin and find ways to generate 
“alpha” from the relationship between different market types. In his view, the 
approach would be different from platforms where most activity can look like 
straightforward, single-sided wagering. He pointed out that what is possible 
elsewhere may be hard to replicate on Polymarket or Kalshi, where much of the 
activity today is “just like single-sided betting.” What’s Clear, What’s Not 
What Hyperliquid is proposing is distinct from that of Polymarket and Kalshi 
in at least two ways. First, the prediction product would be native to a 
trading venue where users are already active, including across crypto and 
commodities—meaning it may gain distribution without needing to build a brand- 
new audience. Second, the prediction contracts would sit inside Hyperliquid’s 
existing trading system. The implication is that a single trader could 
potentially manage event bets and other exposures within one account. Still, 
Bloomberg notes that important details are still unclear, including how 
Hyperliquid would decide which real-world events qualify for new contracts, 
what governance process would be used to approve markets, and when HIP-4 might 
move from testing to a full public launch. HYPE Technicals In Focus 
Hyperliquid’s broader momentum may be part of why its prediction-market bid is 
getting attention. Its native token, HYPE, has been among the top-performing 
assets, though it has retraced about 11% below the $40 level over the past 
fourteen days, according to CoinGecko data. Related Reading: XRP Price Target 
At $18,000: Expert Says—Only One Condition Must Be Met While the broader 
crypto market—led by Bitcoin—has experienced a drawdown since October, with a 
near a 50% crash, HYPE has retained gains. The token is up roughly 110% year- 
to-date, even as it remains about 33% below all-time highs of $59. However, 
market analyst Ali Martinez has argued that Hyperliquid is breaking out of a 
rising wedge on its daily chart. This suggests a potential move towards $31, 
which could lead to the token retracking by around 20% from its current 
trading price of $39. Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com
