Trump Backs Regulators in Bringing Hyperliquid Onshore

US regulators are working to bring Hyperliquid, a fast-growing crypto platform, into the country. President Donald Trump said this in a White House event on August 19, 2026 at 8:20 PM UTC. According to Trump, Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Michael Selig is also involved in bringing Hyperliquid into the US 'in a fully compliant and legal fashion.' The move indicates that the White House wants to pull a major piece of the industry's offshore market infrastructure onshore.

Trump's statement suggests that regulators are making progress in their efforts to bring Hyperliquid, which has grown rapidly, onto American soil. However, no further details were provided by Trump or Selig about the timeline or specifics of this initiative.
