Jump’s Hyperliquid Footprint Explodes as Trading Volume Nears $150 Billion

Jump Trading’s cumulative trading volume on Hyperliquid has nearly reached $150 billion since the firm made its first deposit on December 12, 2025, according to Hyperdash co-founder Hanson Birringer, who mapped the firm’s entire activity on the exchange.

Jump operates one master account alongside 16 subaccounts, and its trading now represents almost 8% of all perpetual futures volume on Hyperliquid and 19% of volume in xyz markets.

Jump’s Hyperliquid Activity

In July alone, its share rose to almost 18% of total exchange volume and 29% of xyz volume. Jump initially spent about a week testing the platform in December, during which it traded $153 million across BTC, SOL, and HYPE, before funding its master account and starting the sub-process creation.

Each wallet has a specific role, including separate accounts for crude oil, Brent, natural gas, and each new stock listing, while a larger book handles the S&P 500, XYZ100, SK Hynix, silver, gold, and memory-related names. The firm’s strategy is primarily driven by taker volume, as maker volume accounts for only 11% to 35% of fills across its activity. According to Birringer, this appears to be a hedging or arbitrage book paired with other venues to capture differences in spreads and funding rates.

Jump’s current book is long $32 million of Brent and $16 million of CL, while holding shorts in gold, silver, MU, NVDA, DRAM, SK Hynix, XYZ100, and megacap names. The positions total $145 million in notional against $63.6 million in account value. By individual market, the trading firm accounts for 38% of DRAM volume, 36% of NATGAS, 33% of Brent, 32% of SP500, 26% of XYZ100, and 16% of CL, compared with 2.6% of BTC volume.

Between April and August, the master account also increased its use of Hyperliquid’s gossip priority feature and paid 966 HYPE, mostly in May, before stopping. Jump has paid about $7 million in fees to the exchange so far, while generating only a few hundred thousand dollars of PNL, further supporting the view that its Hyperliquid activity is one part of a multi-venue market-making operation.

Its roughly $65 million of USDC margin on the exchange is also generating an additional $1.8 million in annual revenue for Hyperliquid through the recent AQAV2 fee accrual.

Institutional Exposure

HYPE hit an all-time high of $89.60 on September 6 and has remained close to that level three days later. The latest price rise came as new data revealed institutional holdings across three HYPE funds: the Bitwise Hyperliquid ETF, 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF, and Grayscale Hyperliquid Staking ETF. Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart recently said second-quarter 13F filings showed 30 investment managers holding a total of around $75 million in the funds.

Wealth High Governance Asset Management had the largest position at nearly $24 million, followed by OLP Capital Management at $10.5 million. UBS held $7.5 million, Bank of Montreal had about $6.7 million, and Jane Street Group held roughly $4.4 million. Other reported holders included Discovery Capital, Brevan Howard, Flow Traders, Virtu Financial, and HighTower Advisors.

Last month, Trump said Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Michael Selig was working to bring the perpetuals-focused trading platform into the US in a “fully compliant and legal fashion,” which added to expectations around its expansion into the country.
