Ventuals Shuts OpenAI, Anthropic Perpetual Markets After $650 Million Volume on Hyperliquid

Summary
Ventuals halted trading in its OPENAI and ANTHROPIC perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid and automatically settled all positions after deciding to wind down and join another ecosystem team.
The shutdown points to consolidation among Hyperliquid's HIP-3 market operators, where third-party teams launch niche perpetual futures tied to assets including private-company valuations.
Ventuals said it generated more than $650 million in trading volume and drew over 500,000 HYPE in community support; its remaining markets will close in the coming days.
TradeXYZ already dominates the segment with nearly 97% of HIP-3 trading volume, underscoring how quickly private-company and other real-world-asset perpetuals are concentrating on Hyperliquid.
The closure comes as blockchain venues push further into Wall Street-style markets: Hyperliquid processed about $234 billion in perpetual futures volume over the past month, while RWA perpetual volumes hit a record in May.
