Hyperliquid prediction markets expanded with the launch of HIP-4, opening a new market category for outcome-based trading on the platform.
The rollout begins with curated providers, while a future update is expected to support permissionless prediction pair creation by third-party deployers.
The platform introduced seven initial prediction pairs as it moves into a sector led by Polymarket, Kalshi, and Robinhood’s prediction offering. Hyperliquid previously expanded third-party market creation through HIP-3, which supports tokenized securities and other externally deployed markets.
Prediction activity on Hyperliquid has already generated more than $300 million in total outcome volume. The new HIP-4 liquidity hub is expected to attract deployers that stake HYPE tokens before launching additional markets.
TradeXYZ Prepares New Hyperliquid Prediction Markets
TradeXYZ, a major HIP-3 deployer, is preparing to launch prediction markets under HIP-4. On-chain data shows a wallet linked to TradeXYZ recently staked and delegated HYPE after months without a new delegation.
Launching third-party prediction pairs requires a 500,000 HYPE bond. The delegated amount is sufficient to maintain the existing HIP-3 bond while supporting a future outcome market launch.
Based on delegation waiting periods, TradeXYZ may begin deploying markets from September 5. Outcome XYZ had already become the first party to unlock HIP-4 staking and prepare its initial markets.
Outcome XYZ prediction pairs moved to the top of Hyperliquid’s prediction market activity during the past day. Skew is also preparing deployments with support from HyperionDeFi, which will help stake the required 500,000 HYPE.
HIP-4 Builds on Hyperliquid’s Market Expansion
The HIP-4 rollout follows Hyperliquid’s broader effort to expand beyond crypto trading. HIP-3 previously allowed third parties to introduce tokenized securities and other markets while using Hyperliquid’s existing liquidity infrastructure.
Early prediction market deployments are increasing as providers compete for initial positioning. Hyperliquid currently supports more than 300 outcome-related pairs across its platform, while the next upgrade is expected to widen third-party issuance.
The development could increase the amount of HYPE committed to market deployment requirements. It also adds another liquidity category to an ecosystem already supporting multiple trading products and externally built applications.
HYPE Holds Near Peak Levels as Fees Rise
HYPE traded above $81, close to its all-time high, as activity across Hyperliquid remained elevated. Daily platform fees also rose above $3 million during August.

Hyperliquid’s token burn mechanism remains tied to platform fees, making higher activity relevant to HYPE’s supply dynamics. The network continues burning tokens as fee generation increases across active markets.
Liquidity has recently shifted toward crypto trading, while stock-related activity has slowed. That structure connects new applications directly with existing liquidity. Hyperliquid has also distributed more than $105 million to over 1,500 builder teams that deployed applications across its ecosystem and accessed platform liquidity with additional fees.
