How it works

How the JPY perpetual works

The yen is the official currency of Japan. Hyperliquid lists JPY 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 currency markets trade almost around the clock, and an oracle feeds their price to JPY. From Friday evening to Sunday evening, New York time, they are shut. JPY keeps trading, so news that breaks at the weekend moves this price first, and the main currency 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 JPY 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.

How is funding calculated for JPY 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.
