How informed are Hyperliquid traders on weekends?

Matteo analyzed Hyperliquid's weekend trading across 35 HIP-3 instruments and found 100% directional accuracy predicting Monday's opening gaps, with a regression slope of 1.06 and R² of 0.973—median prediction error just 14 basis points. The cleanest signal arrives around 20:00 UTC, three hours before CME reopens, when liquidity providers still maintain 66-84% of book depth; in the final hours, metals overshoot (Gold slope jumps to 1.61) as books thin and convergence trades distort prices. Alpha exists in knowing when the signal is purest and fading opening dislocations between perp mids and oracles, which mean-revert within minutes.

Equity Perps Done Right

Matteo outlines core design challenges for onchain equity perpetuals: oracle pricing gaps during off-hours and weekends make traditional funding mechanisms economically meaningless. Instead of pretending basis exists, he proposes symmetric weekend fees feeding insurance, matching bands clamped around Friday's close (like regulated equity ATS), synthetic dividend settlement to avoid oracle jumps, and base funding rates around 4% rather than crypto's ~10% to compete with CFDs. The constraint: build honestly about fragility and cap maximum weekend PnL distortion the insurance fund must absorb.
