Forecast Trend Report by Period
Hyperliquid is entering the prediction-markets business with a zero-fee strategy, opening a new competitive front in a market dominated by established operators.
CoinDesk reported on April 29 that Hyperliquid unveiled "outcome tokens," a service that lets users trade on the results of real-world events.
The service does not charge users a fee when they place bets.
The feature will be available after the HIP-4 upgrade. Users will be able to trade Bitcoin futures alongside contracts tied to outcomes in politics, sports and other events from a single wallet.
The market is watching whether fee competition will spur a fight for market share among prediction-market platforms. User inflows and changes in the regulatory environment are the key variables ahead.
