This time, however, there was a real alternative: crypto asset platforms that trade 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, accessible worldwide and with almost immediate settlement.

According to on-chain data, the trading volume on the platform skyrocketed, reaching peaks close to 200 million dollars (172 million euros) in a single 24-hour period on Saturday.
The perpetual contracts linked to oil on Hyperliquid, such as OIL/USDH and USOIL/USDH, rose more than 5% almost immediately after the announcement of the American and Israeli attacks, providing one of the first real-time price signals before the reopening of traditional markets.
