TradingView, the charting platform used by millions of traders worldwide, has added native support for Hyperliquid trading pairs. Symbols like HYPEUSD now appear directly in TradingView’s interface, ready for technical analysis alongside data from Coinbase, Binance, and every other major venue.

Here’s the thing: TradingView categorized Hyperliquid as a centralized exchange. The platform that built its entire identity on being decentralized and non-custodial is now sitting in the same bucket as Binance and Kraken in TradingView’s taxonomy.

A DEX wearing a CEX label

Hyperliquid operates as a Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for trading. It runs a fully on-chain central limit order book with gasless orders and sub-second transaction finality. Users never surrender custody of their assets.

Alongside Hyperliquid’s own data, TradingView also sources pricing from oracles like Pyth, giving traders multiple reference points for the same assets.

Hyperliquid’s numbers tell the story

Open interest on the platform hit $8.9 billion in May 2025. That figure represents roughly 8.3% of aggregate perpetual open interest across the entire crypto derivatives market.

The platform now offers over 300 markets spanning cryptocurrencies, equities, commodities, and indices with leverage options reaching 40-50x.

The HYPE token, which powers governance and fee distribution within the ecosystem, carries a market capitalization of approximately $16.6 billion with prices around $65.

What this means for traders and the broader market

Third-party automation tools already exist that connect TradingView alerts directly to Hyperliquid order execution. With native charting now available, the pipeline from analysis to trade becomes even more seamless. A trader can spot a setup on a TradingView chart and route the order to Hyperliquid without the friction of switching between platforms or manually replicating chart data.

The risk calculus isn’t gone. Hyperliquid’s on-chain architecture introduces smart contract risk and potential vulnerabilities that don’t exist on traditional centralized platforms. Its rapid growth also means the system hasn’t been stress-tested across every conceivable market condition. And the CEX label from TradingView, while flattering in terms of perceived quality, might create confusion among traders who assume centralized custodial protections apply when they don’t.
