All markets

Each guide covers why the market is hard to reach through a normal broker, the routes that exist, and what each route costs. Contract data is pulled from the public Hyperliquid API.

We receive a share of the fees you pay. You still pay less than you would signing up directly.

How these markets are chosen

We write a guide when an asset has a real structural barrier in front of it — not merely because it is popular. In practice that means one of three things:

• It is not listed anywhere. SpaceX is private; theDRAM index has no ETF and no futures contract on any exchange.
• The contract is too large for a retail account. Agold future is around $443,000 of notional,silver around $330,000, theE-mini S&P around $400,000.
• Your broker cannot reach the venue, or the venue is shut.SK Hynix and Samsung are listed in Seoul, which most brokers outside Asia never connected to; NVIDIA stops trading at 16:00 New York while the news that moves it does not.

If an asset is straightforwardly buyable in an ordinary brokerage account, we do not publish a guide telling you to trade a derivative of it instead. That rule costs us pages, and it is the point — see our editorial policy.

Every market listed below clears $1 million of daily volume. Below that, slippage exceeds every fee and discount on this site combined, which makes a guide actively misleading.

What is not here

Hyperliquid lists over 300 markets. We only write a guide when the market clears a liquidity threshold — currently $1M of daily volume — because a guide to an illiquid contract sends people into a market where they cannot get filled at a fair price. Our editorial policy explains the rest of how we choose.
