Hyperliquid Lists MON-USD Perpetuals Ahead of Hotly Anticipated Monad Airdrop
Hyperliquid, the decentralized perpetuals exchange, announced Wednesday that it has listed MON-USD hyperps, allowing traders to go long or short the token in a pre-market phase.
MON is the native token of Monad, a Layer 1 blockchain designed to be fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) — a feature that makes it easier for developers to migrate their applications from Ethereum.
Both Hyperliquid’s announcement and Monad’s recent posts suggest that an airdrop may be imminent, with the project’s official teasing their “airdrop claim loading” feature reaching 98% on Oct. 8, according to Monad’s latest update on X.
Based on trading in the MON-USD hyperp, priced near $0.13, Monad’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) stands at approximately $13 billion, with 100 billion MON tokens expected to be distributed through the airdrop.
The new MON market has already seen strong activity, recording $28 million in trading volume over the past 24 hours on the decentralized exchange.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
