ICE plans to launch a derivatives exchange for perpetual futures using Hyperliquid’s infrastructure. The initiative, alongside a similar arrangement involving Kraken parent Payward, is intended to provide U.S. retail investors access to perpetual futures through U.S. operators. ICE also plans to take a minority stake in Trade.xyz, a Hyperliquid-based platform; the reported approach depends on regulatory approval.
