HyperLiquid is laying the groundwork for entering the prediction markets, introducing a new product called Outcome Trading, which it says can open the door to contracts based on events without relying on the add-on and discount systems that govern crypto derivatives.
In a blog post on X Monday, HyperLiquid said that its main engine HyperCore will support the next trading according to the concept known as HIP-4, where the results are shown as mutual contracts that are stable and can support prediction markets and similar trading with limited options.
The definition of Hyperliquid Results Contracts is aimed at adding non-linearity and the contracts have a period while providing a certain type of trading without relying on leverage or discounting.

This feature was also seen as a building block that could work together with Wallet Margin and HyperEVM, indicating a push to expand what developers can do on top of its architecture.
Meanwhile, the company said that the feature is still in the beta network phase, and plans to create referral markets when the service is completed.
Hyperliquid added that these initial markets will depend on the location they are set up in, will be owned by USDH, and may later be expanded to unlicensed distribution based on user feedback.
The CFTC is introducing a new system for futures markets
The time comes at a time when the prediction markets are moving from the edge to the corrections. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said last week The organization plans to create new rules for prediction markets, where platforms like PolyMarket and Kalendala attract billions of dollars in business by allowing users to trade yes-or-no on politics, pop culture and more.
This regulatory change is already reshaping the competitive landscape. Polymarket has returned to the US market after receiving CFTC approval through a name change process, a move that could make event contracts a new tool to attract users to major digital platforms such as Coinbase, according to a ClearStreet report by analyst Owen Lau.
PoleMarket, which has been banned from offering its services to US customers since 2022, has launched a US program that will start with a few categories of sports-related competitions, with categories such as politics and crypto expected to be added over time.
The request of Hyperliquid seems to be an attempt to benefit from these developments – the first time, with the aim of providing a simple and intuitive way for traders and producers to express their views on the results when regulators and platforms argue about the place of the prediction markets within the existing rules.
If HIP-4 moves from the pilot network to production, it will place Hyperliquid in a much larger competition to provide prediction markets as a popular digital product, as regulatory oversight and consumer demand begin to push the same segment.
