Activate US stocks on HIP-3

Allocate collateral once so eligible US-stock perpetuals can compete with crypto setups under the same risk engine; the same balance also unlocks manual trading on the venue's commodity perps (gold, silver, oil, and more).

Updated 2026-07-22

Hyperliquid's HIP-3 builder markets list perpetuals on US equities and commodities next to crypto. Hypertrade routes certified US-stock setups through the same 25-rule engine. Commodity listings are collected in a separate execution-isolated shadow lane and cannot place real-money orders until their own evidence and promotion gates pass. Hyperliquid currently lists the xyz HIP-3 dex on both mainnet and testnet; Hypertrade keeps their data, collateral, positions and orders strictly separate.

  1. 1

    Open the desk on the network you want

    On a mainnet or testnet desk page you'll find the US Stocks & Commodities collateral card when that network's live venue directory reports xyz. It shows the network and current HIP-3 collateral. Testnet uses practice funds only.

  2. 2

    Allocate collateral

    Stocks trade on an independent margin ledger inside the same user-controlled Hyperliquid account: main collateral cannot finance a stock order, so the card moves a slice of USDC into the HIP-3 sleeve. Pick the amount; the transfer is signed by the trade-only agent and remains within the account. Unused collateral can move back with Withdraw.

  3. 3

    That's it: the scanner takes over

    From the next scan, eligible stocks receive their own HIP-3 scan lane beside crypto. The same promoted strategy, positive-growth gate and risk contract apply on both networks; market data and execution remain network-local.

  4. 4

    Continuous evaluation

    The engine evaluates HIP-3 stock perpetuals continuously, like crypto. Availability alone never creates a trade: current venue data, liquidity, the promoted signal and every risk check must still pass.

Things worth knowing

  • Same protections. Stops, liquidation-distance checks, portfolio heat and daily-loss locks apply to stocks exactly as to crypto.
  • Networks never mix. Testnet bars, marks, collateral, positions and orders remain testnet-only; mainnet remains mainnet-only. An address reused on both networks still has two independent ledgers.
  • Cross-asset diversification is understood. The engine knows a stock position and a crypto position are not the same bet, and budgets portfolio risk accordingly.
  • Collateral is per-market. If a stock order gets sized down with a “DEX margin capacity” note, the stocks sleeve needs more collateral; one click on the card fixes it.
  • Withdrawal is margin-aware. Only collateral that the venue reports as available can move back to the main sleeve; margin backing open positions remains unavailable.
  • Commodities are research-only today. Their detached shadow observations cannot create proposals, orders, or live execution.
US persons and other restricted jurisdictions cannot use the product; the same geographic restrictions apply to stock perpetuals as to everything else.
