Hyperliquid API snapshot, 2026-11-04 10:16 UTC. Positive funding means longs pay shorts; it is charged every hour, and the annualized figure is the current hourly rate × 8,760 (it changes every hour). Open interest is in USD at the mark price.

What xyz:CRCL tracks

xyz:CRCL is a HIP-3 perpetual deployed by trade.xyz that references 1 share of Circle Internet Group, Inc. Class A common stock (NYSE: CRCL), quoted in US dollars. It is a linear contract margined and settled in USDC: you gain or lose the dollar move times your size, paid in USDC. You don’t own Circle shares, can’t vote them and don’t receive dividends.

Hyperliquid’s matching engine (HyperCore) runs the order book, margin and liquidations; trade.xyz supplies the price feed and parameters. Per trade.xyz’s spec the market uses cross margin and has a weekend discovery bound of ±10% per band with 1 re-anchor per direction. Maximum leverage is set by the deployer and shown live above.

Hours: 24/5 external price, 24/7 trading

xyz:CRCL trades every hour of the week, but the price it follows doesn’t. trade.xyz’s relayer takes an external price 24/5, from Sunday 8:05 PM to Friday 8:00 PM ET, stitching together pre-market (4:00–9:30 AM), the regular session, after-hours (to 8:00 PM) and the overnight session on Blue Ocean ATS (8:05 PM–4:00 AM). From Friday 8:00 PM to Sunday 8:05 PM ET, and on US equity holidays, the oracle switches to internal pricing: a 30-minute moving average that follows Hyperliquid’s own order book, held inside discovery bounds. When the external feed returns, the price snaps back to it, so weekend positions can gap at the open. Earnings and other big news that lands on a weekend gets priced here first.

The company behind the margin

Circle issues USDC, the stablecoin that every one of these perps is margined and settled in. That makes xyz:CRCL an odd but popular trade on Hyperliquid: a bet on the issuer, collateralised by the issuer’s own token. The contract tracks Circle’s NYSE-listed Class A shares and nothing else; it says nothing about USDC’s peg. (trade.xyz’s risk disclosures note separately that USDC is not the same as a US dollar and can trade away from $1.)

Entropy lists a second Circle market, io:CRCL, with strict isolated margin (you can’t withdraw margin from an open position).

How to trade it

  1. Check you're allowed to. Hyperliquid's terms restrict the United States, Ontario and other places, and trade.xyz's terms bar US persons; Entropy publishes its own restricted list, which also includes Canada, the UK, Australia, Singapore and most of the EU. If you're in a restricted place, stop here.
  2. Set up a Hyperliquid account with a fee discount. Connect a wallet at app.hyperliquid.xyz and set a referral code before your first trade: our code gives 4% off fees on your first $25M of volume. Full walkthrough: how to start trading on Hyperliquid.
  3. Deposit USDC. Every market here is margined and settled in USDC. See how to deposit USDC to Hyperliquid.
  4. Open the market. Use trade.xyz (its link applies the same Hyperliquid referral) or the official Hyperliquid app, which lists HIP-3 markets alongside core perps. Search for xyz:CRCL or io:CRCL. Each HIP-3 dex keeps its own margin, separate from core perps, so the app may ask you to move USDC into that dex first.
  5. Choose margin mode and leverage. Some HIP-3 markets are isolated-only (the margin mode row above says which). Leverage is a ceiling, not a target: at 10x, a 10% move against you wipes out your margin, and liquidation comes earlier than that.
  6. Place a small first order and set a stop. Limit orders pay the lower maker fee. Watch the funding rate: you pay or receive it every hour you hold the position.

Risks

  • It's a perp, not the asset. You get cash-settled price exposure in USDC. No share ownership, votes or dividends, and the price you trade can drift from the underlying, especially when its home market is closed.
  • The deployer runs the oracle. trade.xyz and Entropy (EntropyIO) publish the price that drives funding and liquidations, sets leverage limits and can halt and settle a market. Each HIP-3 deployer stakes 500,000 HYPE that validators can vote to slash if the deployer's actions harm the protocol, which is an incentive, not insurance for your position.
  • Outside market hours the price is set by traders here. When the underlying market is shut, the oracle follows this order book within discovery bounds. When the real market reopens, the price can jump to wherever it opens, and stops can fill far from where you set them.
  • Liquidation. If your equity falls below maintenance margin (half the initial margin at max leverage), the position is closed at market. With cross margin, a loss here can take collateral from your other cross positions.
  • Funding cuts both ways. Rates change every hour. A positive rate costs longs money every hour the position is open; over weeks that adds up.
  • Thin books. Smaller markets can have wide spreads; big orders and liquidations move the price.

Nothing here is investment advice or a price forecast. Leveraged perps can lose more than you expect, fast.
