On February 5, Hyperliquid's decentralized derivatives protocol HIP-3 reached a record single-day trading volume of $5.2 billion on February 5, marking the highest level since its launch in October 2025. According to The Block, this surge was primarily driven by TradeXYZ, a major market provider on HIP-3, which accounted for nearly 90% of the trading volume through perpetual contracts in precious metals, stock indices, and individual stocks.
On February 5, TradeXYZ's silver contracts alone reached a daily trading volume of $40.9 billion, representing 68% of HIP-3's total trading volume for the day. This indicates that the volatility in precious metal prices is attracting traders to seek alternative assets beyond cryptocurrencies.
