What the reporting agrees on

Multiple outlets, including Live Bitcoin News, The Cryptonomist, The Coin Republic, Blockonomi, Crypto.news, and U.Today, confirm that the Hyperliquid Policy Center has submitted a comment letter to the SEC with five key recommendations for refining the proposed Regulation Crypto Assets framework. These recommendations focus on token airdrops, secondary trading, developer protections, buybacks, and state securities requirements. However, U.Today emphasizes the 'critical flaws' in the SEC's framework, while Blockonomi highlights HPC's request for federal preemption to survive alongside state protections. The outlets agree on the core issues addressed but differ slightly in their emphasis on specific concerns.

The Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) has formally submitted recommendations to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding its proposed crypto asset regulations. The move comes as the SEC's public consultation on the framework approaches its deadline on October 20, 2026.

HPC's recommendations address several key areas, including token airdrops, secondary trading, developer protections, buybacks, and state securities requirements. The organization supports the overall framework but believes that certain provisions require clearer legal treatment to be workable for developers and token holders.

According to multiple outlets, HPC's proposals include a fundraising exemption for offerings up to $75 million per 12 months. This exemption would allow projects to raise funds without a tacit admission of a prior investment contract, which HPC argues is crucial for the growth of the crypto ecosystem.

The Hyperliquid Policy Center's submission is part of a broader effort to refine the SEC's crypto regulations. The organization believes that the current framework contains critical flaws that could trap Web3 developers and hinder innovation. HPC's recommendations aim to address these flaws and provide a more balanced approach to crypto regulation.

In the current market context, the total crypto market cap stands at $2.8 trillion, with Bitcoin down 0.98% in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index is at 55, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors. Hyperliquid (HYPE), the native token of the Hyperliquid platform, is currently priced at $78.88, with a 24-hour decrease of 0.42% and a 7-day decline of 1.66%. The platform's Total Value Locked (TVL) is $319.48 million, representing a 1.3% decrease over the past week, according to DeFiLlama.

The SEC's response to HPC's recommendations will be closely watched by the crypto community. The outcome could have significant implications for the development and regulation of the crypto ecosystem in the United States.
