How it works

How the US500 perpetual works

Hyperliquid lists US500 through HIP-3, which lets independent builders add markets to its order book. This one is run by the mkts builder and settles in USDC.

While the US stock market is open, an oracle feeds the US 500 price to US500, and funding pulls the perp toward it. After the close, at weekends and on holidays, trading on Hyperliquid sets the price. News that lands overnight can move US500 hours before the US stock market reopens, so the price can open away from the last close. When it reopens, the oracle picks up the new price and funding pulls the perp back toward it.

Funding is paid every hour between longs and shorts. When US500 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

US500 questions

What is the US 500 price on Hyperliquid right now?

The live price of US500 is at the top of this page, with the minute it was recorded. It trades 24/7, so when the US stock market is closed it shows where traders price the US 500.

How is US500 different from an index fund?

An index fund owns the shares and trades during exchange hours. US500 is a perpetual contract on Hyperliquid: it owns nothing, never expires and trades 24/7. You can use leverage, and you pay or receive funding while you hold it.

Can I build a strategy on US500 with Keel?

Not yet. Keel is a strategy builder for Hyperliquid. Support for HIP-3 markets is coming soon. Sign up, and we'll email you when HIP-3 strategies are supported. Today you can build and test strategies on Hyperliquid's crypto perps.

What leverage is available?

US500 on the mkts 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 US500 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.
