Jake Chervinsky said major exchanges may need to use public-blockchain infrastructure over the next decade to stay competitive, while framing Hyperliquid as infrastructure rather than a rival exchange. He also said onchain markets should move inside the U.S. regulatory perimeter, and he expects that to happen soon.

What it means

Users and trading firms that interact with major exchanges would notice a different backend if public-blockchain infrastructure becomes part of exchange operations. The immediate effect described is not on prices or access, but on where exchange products sit in the stack: Hyperliquid is described as infrastructure that other regulated firms can build on top of.

In practice, the line between a conventional exchange and blockchain-based market plumbing looks less fixed than before. What is said to change is the architecture under exchange products, while regulated firms remain able to offer customer-facing services on top of that infrastructure. (per cryptobriefing.com)
