Open interest in Hyperliquid’s CL USDC oil perpetual contract climbed above $50M in late February 2026 as escalating tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran drove traders toward commodity exposure. Oil on the platform rose 5% to 70.60 dollars per barrel, while gold gained 1.3% to $5323 and silver advanced 2% to $94.90. Following the HIP 3 upgrade, Hyperliquid expanded permissionless markets, pushing total trading volume beyond 4 trillion dollars and daily fees above 2 million dollars.
