How it works

META Perpetual methodology

META perpetual on Hyperliquid (xyz:META) tracks Meta Platforms common stock via oracle during US market hours and floats on the HL order book the rest of the time. Deployed by TradeXYZ as a HIP-3 market; settled in USDC; max leverage 20x; hourly funding. META has a $50M OI cap on TradeXYZ. The perp gives 24/7 directional exposure to the Facebook / Instagram / Reality Labs complex — useful for trading around ad-spend cycles, AI-capex narratives, or regulatory headlines. META's historical volatility runs higher than mega-cap peers (AAPL/MSFT/GOOGL), making it a popular single-name for directional rotational trades.

FAQ

META questions

How is META perp pricing different overnight vs intraday?

During US market hours the oracle anchors the perp to the cash NYSE/Nasdaq price; off-hours, the perp price floats independently on the HL order book. META's headline-driven moves (earnings, regulatory news, AI announcements) often happen after the cash market closes, leading to noticeable overnight drift between the perp and the prior cash close.

How is funding calculated for META 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.

What leverage is available?

Up to 20x leverage on META via TradeXYZ. Margin scales with position size per HL's standard tiering.

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.
