Hyperliquid Surges to $95 as Kraken Talks Boost US Expansion Hopes

Hyperliquid's price has surged to near $95 as investors anticipate a possible expansion into the US market. The platform is reportedly in advanced talks with Kraken parent company Payward about offering selected perpetual markets to registered US users through regulated infrastructure.

This development has strengthened the case for Hyperliquid's price reaching $150, according to analysts who have identified an inverse head-and-shoulders structure and a breakout area at mid-$90s. The proposed arrangement with Kraken would expand distribution by offering access to the US market, although regulatory approval, implementation, and final terms are still pending.

Remittix, another player in the space, is also gaining traction with its combination of perpetual markets and payment network capabilities. With over $50 million in cumulative volume, Remittix has already attracted significant attention, and its planned Earn product, offering up to 22% APY on supported cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, could further boost user engagement.

While Hyperliquid's focus on derivatives trading exposes it to leverage cycles and speculative volume fluctuations, Remittix's broader approach may provide a more diversified growth story. The platform's payment network and mobile wallet capabilities could attract users beyond the derivatives space, making it an attractive option for investors looking for long-term potential.
