Hyperliquid has added two macro prediction markets to its trading roster, weeks after it rolled out outcome-based markets.
The platform now lists markets for May CPI year-over-year and the June Fed rate change. As of the report’s writing, both macro markets show minimal open interest. The earlier Bitcoin “above or below” daily market has drawn more activity, with about $140,000 in volume over the past 24 hours, according to Hyperliquid.
Why it matters
This is a meaningful expansion in scope, but the liquidity profile says readers should watch the scoreboard, not the headline. Minimal open interest in the two macro contracts suggests they are not yet pulling serious order flow. Hyperliquid’s earlier Bitcoin daily market is already doing the heavy lifting on volume, with roughly $140,000 in the cited 24-hour window.
It also adds a familiar macro layer to a prediction venue that is still young. The cumulative outcome market volume has passed $52 million, based on data from hl.eco, the report notes. That figure still sits far from Polymarket or Kalshi volumes, but it reflects that Hyperliquid launched these avenues only weeks ago.
Market impact
HYPE’s rally appears to be accelerating in parallel with the product expansion. The token is trading above $64.3 and marked a new all-time high at the time of writing, after rising about 8% in the past couple of hours. The report frames HYPE as one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies over the past weeks, rising from below $40 to above $64 during the month.
The report also points to ETF flows as part of the picture. It says HYPE ETF flows were positive last week, contrasting with the broader industry, which reportedly saw over $1.5 billion in cumulative outflows.

What to watch next
The immediate test is whether the macro contracts attract real participation. The cited minimal open interest in May CPI and the June Fed change leaves room for either quick onboarding or slow drift.
Next, readers should track whether Hyperliquid’s earlier Bitcoin “above or below” daily format remains the volume anchor as more events get added. The report also flags cumulative outcome market growth from hl.eco at $52 million, so watching the pace of that figure as new contracts launch could show whether this is landing as more than a novelty.
Finally, the report ties HYPE’s momentum to institutional demand and ETF flows. Even if product expansion drives headlines, the sustainability question is liquidity and volume, not token celebrations.
