Protocols/assets in scope: HYPE. Named institutions or platforms: Hyperliquid, Hyperliquid Policy Center, Jeff Yan, Jake Chervinsky. Teams should monitor the original source, map the change to licensing, custody, disclosure, and market-access obligations, and update their jurisdiction playbooks before the next compliance review.
