TREE NEWS update: trade.xyz launched Events, an offering it says aims to turn Hyperliquid into a unified trading system for financial assets and real-world outcomes. The first Up/Down markets cover stocks, commodities and pre-IPO assets, with liquidity provided by trade.xyz perpetuals on HIP-3 and continuous price discovery used as the settlement source. Users can trade a SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual, hedge an upcoming SK Hynix earnings event and pick a US Open champion from one account.
trade.xyz Launches Events Markets for Stocks, Commodities, Pre-IPO Assets
The notable part is not the event contracts themselves but the settlement design: using HIP-3 perpetuals as the liquidity and price-discovery source ties outcome markets to the same venue's derivatives rather than an external oracle. That matters most for pre-IPO and event exposure, where reliable reference pricing is scarce, and it puts trade.xyz in competition with venues that settle such markets off external data. Whether the perpetual-based model holds up when event outcomes diverge from continuous pricing is the open question.
