How it works

MSFT Perpetual methodology

The MSFT perpetual on Hyperliquid (xyz:MSFT) tracks Microsoft common stock via oracle during US market hours and floats on-book the rest of the time. It is a HIP-3 builder-deployed market. Microsoft’s liquidity profile in traditional equity markets gives the perp tight oracle spreads during regular hours; off-hours, the HL order book takes over price discovery with funding pulling toward the reference as needed. MSFT is a staple of mega-cap tech exposure — traders use the perp for around-the-clock direction, paired trades against other software/cloud names, or hedging spot positions.

FAQ

MSFT questions

How is the leverage cap for MSFT set?

The HIP-3 builder sets the cap per market from liquidity and realized volatility, and can change it. The current cap is read from the venue and shown above; it is not the same for every single-stock perp.

Can I run delta-neutral strategies with MSFT perp?

Yes — pair a long MSFT perp with a short underlying (or vice versa) to capture funding-rate carry. Funding direction varies; persistent positive funding favors short-perp + long-spot setups.

What leverage is available?

MSFT on the xyz dex offers up to 20x 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 MSFT 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. Core Hyperliquid perps settle funding hourly; a HIP-3 builder sets the schedule for its own markets, so confirm the cadence on the market page. The per-period rate is small but compounds 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.
