While Wall Street slept through a Saturday night of airstrikes, onchain traders were already repricing the world in real time.
Hyperliquid Shows Global Repricing Happens Before Wall Street Wakes Up“Bloomberg just used onchain oil prices as the reference for their Iran risk coverage,” another X account wrote on Sunday. The post adds:
“Not CME. Not NYMEX. But Hyperliquid. Price discovery doesn’t wait for Monday open anymore.”
