Rolling out 24/7 S&P 500 perpetuals exposes a massive market gap. Traditional equity markets shut down 128 hours weekly, leaving $50 trillion in positions essentially frozen until Monday. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid generated $140 million in fees throughout 2024 purely from crypto perpetuals trading. Here's the math: if a platform captures even 5% of equity index perpetual volume, that translates to roughly $20 million annually. The real play isn't just offering another futures contract—it's capturing the dormant capital that traditional finance locks away every weekend. Institutional traders stuck watching their positions sit idle are primed for this.

NGL, this is the flaw of traditional finance. The practice of freezing assets over the weekend should have been abolished long ago.

Freezing $50 trillion over the weekend is indeed a pain point. But that $140M fee for Hyperliquid... will institutions really come?

Wait, $50 trillion frozen for 128 hours? I need to verify this number again... Will institutions really be this obedient and wait until Monday? Or is there a whale already accumulating positions on the chain behind the scenes?

The 50 trillion frozen over the weekend is the real gold mine... The era of institutions sitting idly by should come to an end.
