Hyperliquid Policy Center has filed a legal brief in federal court in Washington, D.C., asking the court to throw out a lawsuit brought by CME against the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, according to Hyperliquid News. The dispute stems from the CFTC’s earlier approval allowing Kalshi to offer regulated cryptocurrency perpetual contracts in the United States. CME had previously challenged that regulatory decision in court. In its filing, Hyperliquid’s policy arm sided with the CFTC and argued that CME’s case should be dismissed. The move places Hyperliquid Policy Center directly behind the regulator in a case tied to the legal treatment of crypto perpetual products in the U.S. market.
