Hyperliquid is preparing to take on Polymarket with a new way to trade real-world events
Summary
Hyperliquid is expanding its platform to include prediction markets, positioning itself to challenge incumbents like Polymarket and Kalshi. The protocol has released a fee structure for its new "outcome tokens," featuring a zero-fee entry model where costs are only incurred upon closing or settling trades. This development, part of the proposed HIP-4 upgrade, allows users to trade real-world event contracts alongside perpetual and spot positions in one account. As the prediction market sector reached $63.5 billion in volume in 2025, Hyperliquid aims to leverage its infrastructure to capture significant market share, building on the success of its previous permissionless perpetuals upgrade.
