S&P Dow Jones Indices has licensed its flagship S&P 500 index for cryptocurrency trading on Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual futures exchange. The partnership allows traders to access S&P 500 exposure through perpetual futures contracts that trade continuously, unlike traditional stock markets with fixed hours.

Hyperliquid operates as a decentralized exchange specializing in perpetual futures contracts, offering traders the ability to take leveraged positions on various assets. The integration of the S&P 500 index represents a significant expansion of traditional financial products into the decentralized finance ecosystem.
