ICE CEO Jeffrey Sprecher Says Hyperliquid Is "Bigger Than Nasdaq" (May 27, 2026)
On May 27, 2026, Intercontinental Exchange CEO and founder Jeffrey Sprecher said at the Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference that Hyperliquid is "bigger than Nasdaq," pointing to its scale despite a core team of 11 people. The piece contrasts that claim with token and equity valuations, then shifts to activity metrics such as roughly $180B in monthly volume and more than 70% share of the decentralized perpetuals market. It also flags regulatory uncertainty for U.S. and U.K. users and highlights upcoming dates including June 11 and the June 30, 2026 MiCA deadline.
