How it works

How the GOLD perpetual works

Hyperliquid lists GOLD through HIP-3, which lets independent builders add markets to its order book. This one is run by the xyz builder and settles in USDC.

On weekdays the main gold markets trade almost around the clock, and an oracle feeds their price to GOLD. From Friday evening to Sunday evening, New York time, they are shut. GOLD keeps trading, so news that breaks at the weekend moves this price first, and the main gold markets can reopen away from Friday's close. Once they reopen, funding pulls the perp back toward their price.

Funding is paid every hour between longs and shorts. When GOLD trades above its reference price, longs pay shorts; below it, shorts pay longs. The rate for the next payment is in the live numbers above, and it adds up over a hold of several days.

FAQ

GOLD questions

What is the gold price on the weekend?

The main gold markets close from Friday evening to Sunday evening, New York time. GOLD on Hyperliquid keeps trading, so the live price at the top of this page is where traders value gold while they are shut. It can differ from Friday's close.

What does GOLD on Hyperliquid track?

The US dollar spot price of one troy ounce of gold (XAU/USD). It is a perpetual contract, so there is no expiry and no delivery. Longs and shorts pay each other funding every hour, which keeps the price close to the gold price.

What leverage is available?

GOLD on the xyz dex offers up to 25x leverage, read from the venue’s market metadata. The market can be held cross or isolated. Margin requirements scale with position size; the live cap and margin tiers are on the Hyperliquid market page.

How is funding calculated for GOLD on Hyperliquid?

Funding is computed from the gap between the perpetual price and an oracle reference: when the perp trades above the oracle, longs pay shorts; below, shorts pay longs. Hyperliquid settles funding every hour, on HIP-3 markets as on its core perps, and the rate for the next payment is in the live numbers on this page. The hourly rate is small but adds up over multi-day holds.

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.
