Your AI can now trade US stocks on Hypertrade
Hypertrade desks can now trade perpetual futures on US stocks like Apple and Nvidia through the same AI, the same 25-rule risk engine, and the same non-custodial setup. Owner-authorized withdrawal is available only where the current rollout enables it.
Starting today, a Hypertrade desk is no longer limited to crypto. Mainnet desks can trade perpetual futures on US stocks, Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, AMD and more, through exactly the same pipeline that trades BTC and ETH: the same AI, the same deterministic 25-rule risk engine, the same quality bar, and the same non-custodial custody model. Commodity live execution is disabled, and no standalone commodity strategy has authority.
To our knowledge, no other platform lets you point your own AI at US stock perps under a risk engine that can veto it. This is the feature we are most excited about this year.
What exactly is being traded
These are perpetual futures on stock prices, listed on Hyperliquid's builder-deployed markets (HIP-3). To be precise about what that means:
- You are trading the price of the stock, not the stock itself. There is no share ownership, no dividends, no voting rights.
- Positions are leveraged and carry funding, and a position that moves against you far enough can be liquidated, exactly like a crypto perp.
- HIP-3 stock perpetuals remain tradeable continuously. Hypertrade evaluates them continuously and relies on current venue data, liquidity, quality and risk checks rather than a cash-market clock.
Same brain, same discipline
Nothing about the safety model changed. A stock setup has to clear the exact bar a crypto setup does:
- The engine screens the whole venue, stocks included. Every managed entry needs at least $300,000 in current OI on mainnet or $100,000 on testnet, a setup score of 50/100, and no catastrophic quality defect before expectancy, ruin, net-growth, liquidity, and risk gates are considered. Stock-perp fees run about twice crypto's, so the cost gate filters even harder. Expect fewer, more selective entries. That is by design.
- Every order still passes the full R-01 through R-25 stack: mandatory stop, liquidation-aware leverage caps, projected portfolio stress, venue collateral headroom and live liquidity policy.
- Every losing stock trade gets the same automatic post-mortem as a crypto loss, and feeds the same learning loop that sharpens what the desk trades next.
Activation is one screen
On any mainnet desk you will see a new card: US Stocks. Activation takes a few clicks:
- Choose how much collateral to allocate (minimum $20, at most half your equity). Stocks use a separate collateral pocket on the venue, which is a Hyperliquid design, not ours.
- Read the three-line risk note and confirm.
- Done. The desk scans US stocks automatically whenever the market is open.
The collateral transfer moves value only between the main and HIP-3 ledgers of the same user-controlled Hyperliquid account; it is not an external withdrawal. Unused collateral can move back to the main ledger, while margin backing an open position may remain unavailable.
Why this matters
Crypto never sleeps, but it also never diversifies: most coins move together. Stocks give your desk setups that do not always rise and fall with BTC, and the risk engine explicitly rewards a balanced book with more capacity than a one-directional one. More independent opportunities, same discipline.
If you want the mechanics first, read why the risk engine matters more than the AI, or see the live markets.
Trading perpetual futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Stock perps are derivatives, not securities ownership. Automation does not remove risk. Nothing here is financial advice or a promise of returns. Access is subject to eligibility and local restrictions.
