forbes.comCME Group and NYSE are pressing U.S. regulators to bring Hyperliquid under greater oversight. The two organizations cited concerns about market manipulation and sanctions evasion on the cryptocurrency trading platform, according to a Bloomberg report published on May 15, 2026.
The request reflects ongoing tensions between traditional financial market operators and newer decentralized cryptocurrency venues. Hyperliquid has grown rapidly in recent years as a platform for trading digital assets, operating in a regulatory environment that has drawn scrutiny from established exchanges.
U.S. regulators have not yet announced any formal response to the request from CME Group and NYSE. The development comes as authorities continue to examine how best to supervise cryptocurrency markets while addressing risks such as manipulation and potential violations of international sanctions.
Hyperliquid functions as a decentralized exchange focused on perpetual futures contracts in cryptocurrencies. It has attracted significant trading volume but has also faced questions about its compliance infrastructure and user oversight. The platform's operators have previously emphasized its commitment to fair markets.
No public statement from Hyperliquid addressing the latest request from CME Group and NYSE was available as of Friday.
