1/ I'm excited to see Hypercall announced. This is a product the team has been working incredibly hard on for many months.
Options, using Hyperliquid perps as margin.
How I've seen things lead to Hypercall.. 👇
2/ Back in 2018, I started using Deribit, watching first-hand how Deribit evolved from its earliest days: launching with only options, ahead of enabling portfolio margin on top of perps.
That changed everything. Bitmex started losing market share and Deribit started gaining.
3/ I've always been a fan of options due to:
- options being the cleanest way to define risk
- great tool for expressing very specific market views
- yet, they only really shine once you have futures/perps alongside them + portfolio margin
That view hasn’t really changed.
4/ Lots of years have gone by, and many iterations of decentralized options have been tried. It's ben clear what's missing:
options markets have needed incredibly liquid perps venues with real margining that actually is CEX-quality.
5/ Hyperliquid changed that now.
You get a real matching + risk engine, portfolio margin, and an actually good trading UX.
There's finally room for a decentralized options venue, using composability of HL.
6/ Excited for the team to share more about product details and margin/risk design soon.
For now: if you trade options, run a vault, or care about this part of market structure, reach out!
