Hyperliquid DEX Hits $1T Volume, Rolls Out Major Risk Management Upgrade

Hyperliquid DEX just surpassed $1T in volume! Now they’re reducing margin requirements to assist in maintaining smooth and secure trading.

Who said DEXs can’t maintain pace with centralized exchanges? Hyperliquid is making the skeptics eat their words, racking up $1 TRILLION in trading volume as of March 13, this year.

Yet big numbers mean big risks. A recent market volatility put Hyperliquid’s margin system through its paces, prompting them to take their defenses to the next level. Rather than sitting on their hands until catastrophe struck, the team took action:

“Risk management isn’t a buzzword for us—it’s our cornerstone.”

Now they’re unleashing a massive upgrade on March 15, this year (00:00 UTC). The biggest change? A 20% margin ratio requirement for any margin transfers. This means:
🔹 Withdrawals & transfers (perp-to-spot, isolated margin adjustments) need a minimum 20% margin.
🔹 Leverage stays untouched—still up to 40x, no worries there.
🔹 New cross margin positions? Chill. This rule only applies if post-trade leverage exceeds 5x.

Hyperliquid is playing it smart—stronger margin rules = healthier market stability. With $1T in volume, it’s clear they’re not just another DEX. They’re setting the new standard.
