Decentralized derivatives exchange Hyperliquid (HYPE) has launched 'Outcome trading' on its testnet, spanning prediction markets and limited-risk options trading.

According to The Block, a cryptocurrency-focused media outlet, on the 2nd (local time), the feature is an extension to the ongoing HIP-4 update and provides a fully collateralized binary contract structure without leverage, margin calls, or forced liquidations. As a result, Outcome trading can be used in the form of prediction markets or digital options.

Hyperliquid said the structure allows users to predefine loss limits stemming from price fluctuations and enables trading on the outcome of specific events without complex derivatives risk-management procedures.

After assessing the stability and demand for Outcome trading during the testnet phase, it plans to review whether to deploy it on mainnet.
