ICE plans US-regulated Hyperliquid perps with TradeXYZ stake

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is planning US-regulated perpetual futures tied to Hyperliquid through a partnership with TradeXYZ, taking a minority stake in the firm. Retail access would run through regulated futures brokers, including ICE's joint venture with OKX. A major exchange operator moving into on-chain perps under US regulation signals growing institutional acceptance, which traders would read as a positive for Hyperliquid's HYPE token and the broader perps sector.
