Trade.xyz (HyperUnit)
Trade.xyz, developed by HyperUnit, made history as the first protocol to acquire a HIP-3 ticker on Hyperliquid, securing the XYZ100 listing. The platform enables 24/7 trading of tokenized US stocks and ETFs — assets that traditional markets restrict to weekday trading hours. By bringing equities like Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, and major ETFs on-chain, Trade.xyz solves a fundamental problem: global investors, particularly those outside the US, face geographic restrictions and time-zone barriers when accessing US stock markets. On Hyperliquid's high-throughput order book, tokenized equities benefit from near-instant settlement, deep liquidity, and the same seamless trading experience as crypto perpetuals. The XYZ100 ticker functions as an index exposure product, giving users diversified equity exposure in a single position. Tokenization is handled in a trust-minimized manner, ensuring price fidelity with underlying assets. Trade.xyz represents the convergence of TradFi and DeFi — crypto-native infrastructure meeting traditional asset classes — and is a flagship demonstration of what Hyperliquid's HIP-3 standard enables for real-world asset trading at any hour of the day, seven days a week.
Insilico Terminal
Insilico Terminal is a free, professional-grade trading terminal and the first purpose-built execution interface to support Hyperliquid natively. Created by veteran trader Flood, the platform delivers institutional-quality order, position, and execution management tools to retail traders at zero cost — democratizing access to tooling previously reserved for professional trading desks. The terminal provides a comprehensive suite of advanced features: multi-order management, real-time position tracking across all open markets, granular execution controls, and a clean interface optimized for speed and clarity under fast market conditions. Unlike generic exchange UIs, Insilico Terminal is designed by a trader for traders — with a workflow that mirrors professional trading environments and prioritizes execution precision above all.

The platform also supports multi-chain trading, extending its utility for traders who operate across ecosystems.
