Hyperliquid HIP-4: Open Prediction Markets to Everyone
Morning Minute: Hyperliquid Opens Prediction Markets to Anyone in HIP-4 Upgrade
Hyperliquid has rolled out an upgrade known as HIP-4, expanding access to prediction markets by allowing anyone to participate.
The change is positioned as an opening of Hyperliquid’s prediction market functionality beyond a limited set of users, making it broadly available under the new upgrade.
Prediction markets are venues where participants take positions on the outcome of future events. In crypto, they are often framed as a way to aggregate market views and let users express beliefs about outcomes through trading.
With HIP-4, the notable shift is the move from restricted access to a more open model, which can materially change who is able to create or trade in these markets and how widely they can be used across the platform.
The update arrives amid continued experimentation across the crypto sector with market formats beyond spot trading, including derivatives and event-based markets. Hyperliquid’s HIP-4 upgrade places prediction markets more directly within that broader trend of expanding onchain and exchange-native financial primitives.
