Perp DEXs Gain Traction: MetaMask and Infinex Adopt Hyperliquid
Perpetual futures trading has gained momentum in the decentralized segment with the movement of MetaMask and Infinex, which are now part of Hyperliquid, one of the most liquid decentralized perp exchanges on the market.
Hyperliquid's integration with MetaMask went live this week, allowing users to trade perpetual contracts directly from their wallets, without leaving the self-custodial environment. The initiative aims to attract traders seeking a simplified experience similar to that offered by centralized exchanges.
"We're [offering] a frictionless path for passive holders to become active traders," said Gal Eldar, global product lead at MetaMask. He said the new feature is optimized for mobile devices and represents a significant step forward in accessibility to the on-chain market.
Infinex, for its part, had been testing the integration with Hyperliquid for weeks and confirmed that, in the beta period alone, over $100 million was moved by approximately 200 participants. Founder Kain Warwick highlighted that the tests involved early backers and a few select traders, reinforcing confidence in the protocol's scalability.

Data from DefiLlama shows that trading volumes in decentralized perpetuals reached $772 billion in September, with a daily peak of $59,5 billion on September 25. These figures reflect the appetite for leveraged products that operate 24 hours a day and allow for profits in both rising and falling markets.
Warwick noted that previous solutions like Synthetix, dYdX, and GMX failed to break the mass adoption barrier. In his view, Hyperliquid was the first to achieve an efficient model for scaling the use of decentralized platforms.
MetaMask aims to further facilitate this access by eliminating steps such as bridge discovery, manual swaps, and the lack of gas tokens. The proposal is to allow any user to trade on a decentralized platform with one click, without technical obstacles.

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.
