Key takeaways
- 1Hyperliquid’s Nvidia perp recorded more than $2 billion in 24‑hour volume on 12 Nov 2026
- 2Hip‑3 market from Tradexyz ranks 2nd to Bitcoin, ahead of Ethereum
Hyperliquid said its Nvidia perpetual contract traded over $2 billion in 24‑hour volume on 12 November 2026, the same day Jensen Huang announced his resignation as CEO of Nvidia.
The platform noted the contract sits in the Hip‑3 market from Tradexyz, which now ranks second only to Bitcoin and ahead of Ethereum in activity. Hyperliquid offers leveraged exposure to Nvidia’s equity price without owning the underlying shares.
Nvidia is a leading designer of graphics processing units and AI chips, and its stock is a barometer for the broader technology sector. Jensen Huang, who founded the company in 1993, has been its public face for three decades; his sudden exit has drawn heightened attention from traders seeking to hedge or speculate on the firm’s future performance.
The surge in volume suggests sustained trader interest in Nvidia‑linked derivatives despite leadership uncertainty. Market participants will watch whether the activity translates into longer‑term liquidity on the platform and whether any regulatory scrutiny follows the abrupt leadership change.
