The Hyperliquid Policy Center has officially opened its doors in Washington, D.C., marking a new chapter for decentralized finance advocacy in the United States. The nonprofit aims to promote stronger DeFi infrastructure and push for clear, innovation-friendly crypto regulations.
Led by veteran crypto attorney Jake Chervinsky, the center plans to work directly with lawmakers and regulators. Chervinsky previously held leadership roles at the Blockchain Association and the venture firm Variant. Now, he steps in as founding CEO of the Hyperliquid Policy Center, often referred to as HPC.
A Bridge Between DeFi and U.S. Law
HPC wants to close the gap between blockchain-based markets and existing financial laws. Policymakers continue to debate how to regulate digital assets, especially as crypto trading platforms and on-chain systems grow more advanced.
The Hyper Foundation, which supports the Hyperliquid ecosystem, funded the launch with a donation of 1 million HYPE tokens. Those tokens currently carry an estimated value of $29 million. The funding will help the center deliver technical research and policy recommendations tailored to decentralized finance.
HPC plans to focus on areas such as:
- Perpetual futures and decentralized derivatives
- On-chain order books and trading systems
- Regulatory clarity for decentralized exchanges
- Education for lawmakers on blockchain market structure
Growing Demand for Crypto Regulatory Clarity
Lawmakers in the United States continue to debate crypto market structure bills. However, disagreements over stablecoin oversight and agency jurisdiction have slowed progress. As a result, many DeFi platforms operate in legal gray areas.
HPC believes direct engagement can help shape balanced crypto regulation. Supporters argue that clear rules will keep innovation in the U.S. instead of pushing it overseas. Other countries have already introduced more defined DeFi frameworks.
The center’s leadership team also includes policy director Salah Ghazzal and policy counsel Brad Bourque. Together, they bring additional legal and regulatory experience to the effort.
As decentralized finance matures, more crypto organizations now seek a seat at the policymaking table. The launch of the Hyperliquid Policy Center signals that DeFi advocates want to help design the rules, not just react to them.

Mega Bank's Director Rui-bin Zhuang tests stablecoin remittances, but the costs of blockchain are misunderstood.
Mega Financial Holding Co. held a media briefing on the 10th. Chairman Dong Rui-bin revealed that to objectively compare the efficiency of bank and blockchain remittances, Mega Bank mobilized 17 countries worldwide and 25 overseas branches last year for testing. Branch staff opened accounts at local legal exchanges and used the virtual asset trading platform BitoPro to trade USDT stablecoins, transferring 50 USDT each time back to Taiwan, and compared this with traditional bank cross-border wire transfers.
The results showed that stablecoins do have advantages for small-scale cross-border remittances. However, for remittance amounts exceeding the equivalent of NT$200,000 (about $7,000 USD), banks remain more cost-competitive.
