How it works

COIN Perpetual methodology

COIN perpetual on Hyperliquid tracks Coinbase Global common stock — the publicly-traded centralized crypto exchange. Dual-listed on HL: TradeXYZ (xyz:COIN, USDC settled) and Felix (flx:COIN, USDH settled). TradeXYZ runs the dominant book; Felix offers a stablecoin-alternative settlement with different fee economics. Both tracks Coinbase via oracle during US market hours and float on the HL order book otherwise. Hourly funding; max leverage 20x. COIN is unique among the equity-perp set in that its underlying business is crypto exposure itself — making the perp a higher-beta crypto play that also responds to traditional-equity-market sentiment. Traders use COIN perp for paired trades against BTC/ETH, as a crypto-equity beta hedge, or around earnings and regulatory news cycles.

FAQ

COIN questions

How does COIN perp differ from buying BTC/ETH?

COIN is operational leverage on crypto exposure — its revenue scales with trading volume + custody balances + staking, all crypto-correlated. In bull markets COIN typically outperforms BTC; in bears it can underperform meaningfully. The perp adds 24/7 trading and HL leverage on top of that natural beta.

Why are there two COIN perpetuals?

Dual-builder listing: TradeXYZ (xyz:COIN) settles in USDC, dominant book; Felix (flx:COIN) settles in USDH with different fee economics. Same underlying Coinbase stock, independent markets — different funding, different liquidity, different fees. Traders pick based on stablecoin preference and fee structure.

How is funding calculated for COIN on Hyperliquid?

Funding is computed hourly from the gap between perpetual price and an oracle reference. When the perp trades above the oracle, longs pay shorts; below, shorts pay longs. The rate is small per hour (typically ±0.01% range) but compounds over a 24-hour period. The exact mechanics match Hyperliquid’s standard perpetual funding model.

When can I trade — 24/7 or market hours only?

Hyperliquid perpetuals trade 24/7. Off-hours (overnight, weekends, holidays), the perp may diverge from the underlying spot price since traditional markets are closed and price discovery happens here. Funding pulls the perp back toward the oracle over time.

Is this self-custodial?

Yes. You connect a wallet (e.g. via Hyperliquid’s native UI or a builder app); keys never leave your control. Hyperliquid is a non-custodial exchange.
