Swiss FINMA-regulated bank expands digital asset offering to include Hyperliquid's native token as more regulated entry points into HYPE emerge
ZUG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMINA Bank AG ("AMINA"), a Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)-regulated crypto bank with global reach, today announced it has added trading and custody support for HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid blockchain, for its clients. As Hyperliquid has hyperscaled and more regulated entry points to HYPE emerge, institutional and professional investors holding the token increasingly require the custody standards of a licensed bank to manage it.
Hyperliquid is a fully on-chain exchange for perpetual futures and spot trading, matching buyers and sellers directly on-chain at speeds comparable to centralised exchanges. Hyperliquid currently processes roughly 70% of all on-chain perpetual futures volume across decentralised platforms.
Hyperliquid's growing institutional profile reflects a wider embedding of crypto into traditional finance. In March 2026, S&P Dow Jones Indices licensed the S&P 500 index to TradeXYZ for a perpetual futures contract trading on Hyperliquid, the first licensed perpetual derivative contract based on the index. Regulated investment products built around HYPE have followed a similar trajectory: Bitwise launched a spot HYPE exchange-traded fund (BHYP) in the U.S. in May 2026, and has since added a Hyperliquid staking exchange-traded product on Deutsche Börse Xetra in Europe.
"Hyperliquid's ability to match trades atomically on-chain, at speeds comparable to centralized exchanges, closes the gap between the transparency of decentralised markets and the execution quality they're used to from traditional venues,” said Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer, AMINA. “As the separation between traditional and digital finance continues to shrink, projects like Hyperliquid are pushing the boundaries in a meaningful way. Adding HYPE gives AMINA’s clients regulated access to one of the most active and in-demand venues in decentralised finance, with the custody standards they expect from a bank."
AMINA clients can now trade and custody HYPE with no volume caps or trading limits, alongside the security and governance clients expect from a traditional banking partner. Support covers HYPE on Hyperliquid's EVM-compatible environment (HyperEVM); staking and native HyperCore functionality are not included in this offering.
