HYPE token rises after Trump says CFTC is working to bring Hyperliquid to the U.S.

HYPE token jumps as President Donald Trump says the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is working to bring Hyperliquid into the country in a compliant manner. Multiple outlets report Trump made the remarks during a White House meeting, linking the potential move to CFTC chair Mike Selig’s efforts.

The coverage frames the statement as a catalyst for the crypto market, with HYPE rising shortly after the comments. Both sources tie the price reaction to Trump’s claim that regulators are working on how Hyperliquid could operate in the U.S. under federal rules. The reporting focuses on the existence of regulatory engagement rather than providing details of any approved product structure, licensing, or timelines.

While both outlets agree on the central point—that Trump points to CFTC involvement—The Block and CoinDesk differ mainly in wording, describing the objective as bringing Hyperliquid in a “fully compliant and legal fashion” versus under “federal rules.” Neither source provides additional confirmation beyond Trump’s statements and the immediate market response.
