COINOTAG reported on August 28 that trading conditions on Hyperliquid show notably elevated annualized funding rates: WLFI at 105% and XPL at 242%. Price data indicate XPL trading at $0.74 on Hyperliquid—about a 33% premium versus Binance at $0.555—while WLFI is quoted at $0.30 on Hyperliquid, roughly a 14.9% premium to Binance’s $0.261.
Such cross-exchange price differentials and elevated funding rates reflect short-term market dislocations; market participants should assess execution risk, liquidity and funding cost dynamics before pursuing any arbitrage strategies.
Earlier today Hyperliquid updated its mark price calculation for pre-market perpetual contracts, combining the platform’s standard mark price formula with prices of external pre-market perpetual contracts where available—an adjustment with direct implications for margining and risk management.
