Hyperliquid just launched options trading on its PURR common stock on the Nasdaq Options Market. Related Reading: 3 Big Hyperliquid News You Might Have Missed This Week Yet Another Milestone For Hyperliquid Across the bloc, one question resonates amongst traders, users and onlookers of the crypto space alike: how far can Hyperliquid actually go? The once-underdog now-leading perp DEX reaches for the stars as NewsBTC’s most recent piece recapping Hyperliquid latest achievements already needs updating. Hyperliquid’s treasury firm Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. (HSI) announced on Tuesday that it has rolled out options trading on its PURR common shares on the Nasdaq Options Market. PURR live on Nasdaq today. The main goals of the launch, as stated by the company’s press release, are to enhance liquidity and price discovery for PURR, give both institutional and retail investors new tools to hedge, express directional views, and run more sophisticated equity‑options strategies around this proxy for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. David Schamis, CEO of Hyperliquid Strategies Inc, frames this new venture as a “major milestone for the Company”. He believes there wasn’t a better timeline to launch options trading on PURR: from its record-breaking oil perps to fiat on-ramp adoption, HIP-3 markets hitting new all-time highs and even surpassing some major CEX’s derivatives volume, Hyperliquid sits in the spotlight of the crypto market recently. “As Hyperliquid continues to dominate headlines with record-breaking oil perpetuals and surging Real-World Asset (RWA) adoption, we believe this is a great time to launch options trading on PURR. PURR options allow our investors to better manage risk and participate in the rapid growth of Hyperliquid’s high-performance ecosystem” HSI’s business model centers on a digital asset treasury platform that builds exposure to HYPE, Hyperliquid’s native token, through staking, yield strategies, and active participation in the ecosystem, all with the goal of maximizing shareholder value. Hyperliquid is straight-up DOMINATING the perpetuals game Its 24-hour open interest just smashed nearly $7B, that’s almost 4x Aster’s. Hyperliquid isn’t just leading… it’s leaving everyone else in the dust https://t.co/wkej3l47Yt pic.twitter.com/SZbqDhkdvo — Hyperliquid Daily (@HYPERDailyTK) March 25, 2026 What PURR Option Traders Should Look For PURR effectively gives traditional market participants listed‑equity exposure to HYPE and the Hyperliquid ecosystem without touching on‑chain infrastructure directly, which is why options on PURR are being pitched as “capital‑efficient exposure” to HYPE. Moreso, equity options can amplify flows around a crypto‑linked treasury stock through more hedging demand from HSI shareholders, potential volatility sellers and buyers that care more about HYPE fundamentals than about PURR as a standalone name, and the possibility of options‑driven feedback loops in the underlying.
