Notional trading volumes in the sector grew from $15.8 billion in 2024 to $63.4 billion in 2025, a more than 300% increase, as per Coingecko\u2019s 2025 industry report. An analysis from gaming analytics firm, Blask, also reveals a 2X spike in the prediction markets-related search interest during 2025-2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><b><i>The prediction market is not plateauing but accelerating.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Polymarket and Kalshi generated around 85-90% of the total notional prediction markets trading volume in 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monthly trading volumes by the end of 2025 remained <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/prediction-market-volume-quadrupled-past-190400921.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">above $13 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, setting a firm foundation for higher growth in 2026.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In February 2026, Kalshi processed a record of $9.8 billion in monthly volumes while Polymarket hit its own $7 billion record, a 7.5 YoY increase.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The week of April 6-11, 2026, was the strongest ever for prediction markets when $3.54 billion was traded over Kalshi and $2.48 billion on Polymarket, in a single week.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Besides the growth patterns projected above, Bernstein\u2019s projected $1 trillion prediction market opportunity by 2030, and a wave of firms are planning their Polymarkets or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/how-to-build-a-prediction-market-platform-like-kalshi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kalshi-style platforms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Against this backdrop, Hyperliquid released HIP-4, its outcome contract upgrade that formally pivots the protocol into prediction-style, event-based trading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is HIP-4, How Does It Work &amp; What It Changes<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Definition<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hyperliquid Improvement Proposal-4, abbreviated as HIP-4, is a technical framework that brings outcome contracts on the hyperliquid layer 1. It allows developers to launch fully collateralized prediction markets and non-linear derivatives like options, directly on its native Central Limit Order Book (CLOB).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The progression is clear that Hyperliquid is building a general-purpose financial platform layer by layer, in which crypto, commodity, spot, perpetuals, and outcome contracts run on the same execution engine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>HIP-1 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">established the native unit of account for the Hypercore chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>HIP-2<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> introduced the Hyperliquid Liquidity Pool (HLP) vault that enhanced liquidity<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>HIP-3<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> opened up perpetual futures market creation to participants willing to stake HYPE, enabling broader market expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>HIP-4 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">extends the same permissionless model to binary event markets, with higher stake requirements. It brought prediction markets on Hypercore, allowing participants to leverage hyperliquid\u2019s token, matching, liquidity, and execution infrastructure by staking 1M HYPE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The introduction of prediction markets to Hyperliquid L1 introduces new optionality and functionality to the Hyperliquid protocol. It expands HyperCore\u2019s capabilities while allowing builders on HyperEVM to build new primitives and protocols that interact with both outcome markets and the recently introduced portfolio margin mechanism. As of April 2026, no mainnet launch date for HIP-4 has been confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Does HIP-4 Work<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A builder stakes 1M HYPE to initialize a market with specific oracle parameters.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The builder defines event details, and the market is deployed into slots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The price discovery phase establishes initial liquidity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Real-time buying\/selling of &#8220;Outcome Tokens&#8221; takes place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The oracle resolves the event, and the contract pays out exactly $1$ USDH per winning share.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter blogimageCenter image_border wp-image-58093\" title=\"HIP 4 flow\" src=\"https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HIP-4-flow-901x1024.png\" alt=\"HIP 4 flow\" width=\"729\" height=\"828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HIP-4-flow-901x1024.png 901w, https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HIP-4-flow-264x300.png 264w, https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HIP-4-flow-768x873.png 768w, https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HIP-4-flow-66x75.png 66w, https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HIP-4-flow-960x1092.png 960w, https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HIP-4-flow-528x600.png 528w, https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HIP-4-flow-480x546.png 480w, https:\/\/www.antiersolutions.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HIP-4-flow.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:767px) 480px, 729px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each HIP-4 outcome contract trades between $0.001 and $0.999, where the price directly reflects the market&#8217;s implied probability that the specified event occurs. A contract priced at $0.72, for example, means the market collectively believes there is a 72% chance the event resolves as true.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key Technical Advantages of HIP-4<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>No Liquidations: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fully collateralized positions eliminate liquidation risk, even during high volatility.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>CLOB-Based Engine: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">High-performance matching (up to 200K orders\/sec), unlike AMM-based systems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Composable Design: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Supports options-like payoffs and event markets, integrated with portfolio margin.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Naturally, every operator, builder, and exchange-curious founder immediately asked the same question after HIP-4 release on testnet, \u201cHow do I get in on this\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But that\u2019s actually the wrong question because once one understands what HIP-4 actually gives you, and what it doesn\u2019t, a smarter question emerges:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why stake $45M to rent a slot in someone\u2019s ecosystem, when you can build your own at 20X lower cost?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Staking 1M HYPE Actually Gets You (And What It Doesn&#8217;t)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Builders stake their 1M HYPE tokens to launch their outcome contract market on Hyperliquid.

You\u2019re bringing liquidity yourself for your prediction markets but are actually strengthening Hyperliquid\u2019s ecosystem.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Their stake in Hyperliquid\u2019s ecosystem is slashable in case someone attempts to manipulate the oracle or trigger any invalid state transitions. And any partial or fully slashed HYPE will be burned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So let&#8217;s be precise and clear about the trade-off:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>When you stake 1M HYPE, you are buying a slot, which is a license to deploy outcome contract markets inside Hyperliquid&#8217;s ecosystem.

This full ownership decentralized crypto prediction market development approach gets you the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Your Own CLOB<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The CLOB is the heart of any serious trading platform. Hyperliquid\u2019s chain currently supports 200,000 orders per second, and every order, cancellation, trade, and liquidation happens transparently on-chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you build your own CLOB-based decentralized exchange software with Antier, you get that same architecture facilitating high-performance order matching, price-time priority, deep order book, etc., operating under your brand and control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Your Own DEX (Spot, Perpetuals, and Prediction Markets Under One Roof)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If outcome trading gains traction on Hyperliquid, it would become the only platform in crypto offering spot trading, perpetual futures, and prediction markets natively on a single execution layer.\u00a0 No centralized or decentralized competitor currently matches this offering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can actually build exactly this combination yourself with Antier. They deliver a full-stack CLOB-based decentralized exchange software that can feature spot trading, perpetual futures, and prediction markets, all in one ecosystem, that you actually own. You don\u2019t need Hyperliquid\u2019s permission or their timeline, nor do they have any control over your prediction platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Your Own Oracle Design<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most technically demanding parts of HIP-4 is oracle management. The builder defines the event schema, which contains the specific conditions that determine whether the contract settles at 0 or 1. This includes title, resolution time, resolution source, Oracle details, authorized updates, and an optional challenge window.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you build with Antier, your Oracle architecture is designed for your specific use case and is not constrained by third-party protocol requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Your Own Revenue Model<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Hyperliquid, you earn up to 50% of your market&#8217;s fees. The other 50% flows back to the protocol on which your crypto prediction platform operates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On your own platform, every basis point of fee revenue is yours. You design the fee structure. You capture the revenue, and only you decide how it compounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>No Slashing. No Waiting. No Governance Risk.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">500k to 1M HYPE is a meaningful stake that helps you deploy your prediction platforms on Hyperliquid among well-capitalized teams. Even after putting such huge capital at stake, risk remains throughout operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you build sovereign CLOB DEX infrastructure for crypto, RWA, spot, perpetuals, etc., there is nothing to slash. No governance vote can change your rules. There is no mainnet launch date you are waiting on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Hyperliquid Tenant vs. Sovereign Owner: A Direct Comparison<\/b><\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-wrap-new\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<table class=\"responsive-table\" role=\"table\" aria-label=\"Team members and status\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Feature<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>HIP-4 Tenant<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Sovereign Owner<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Launch Prediction Markets<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, inside Hyperliquid<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, on your own platform<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Own Exchange Infrastructure<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Run Spot &amp; Perpetuals<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not via HIP-4<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, full DEX<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Keep 100% Fee Revenue<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Max 50%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Launch Your Own Token<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not applicable<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, full tokenomics<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Control Market Listings<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Within HIP-4 rules<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fully<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Choose Branding\/UX<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Must build separately<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fully branded<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Capital at Risk<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">$45M locked, slashable<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No capital at risk<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Time to Market<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wait for the mainnet launch<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ship on your timeline<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Independence<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exposed to governance risk<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fully sovereign<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2><b>The Market Opportunity You&#8217;d Be Capturing With Custom Decentralized Crypto Prediction Market Development<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As of 2026, the trading volume on Polymarkets and Kalshi has been increasing consistently.
