Arkis integrates Hyperliquid into prime brokerage platform

Arkis integrates Hyperliquid into prime brokerage platform

Hyperliquid positions are now eligible for institutional credit and portfolio margin on Arkis

Author: Oleksandr Proskurin, CPO and Сo-founder

Arkis now supports Hyperliquid within our prime brokerage framework. We are the first prime broker offering Direct Market Access (DMA) and portfolio margin for Hyperliquid positions.

Hyperliquid has rapidly emerged as a core venue for derivatives trading, with liquidity and open interest comparable to Tier-1 centralized exchanges. Over the past year, many Arkis borrowers have actively traded on Hyperliquid, but without access to institutional-grade financing.

The constraint was not access. It was capital efficiency.

With this integration, Hyperliquid positions can now be financed under Arkis’s unified margin and credit model. Arkis underwrites the portfolio, not the venue, allowing capital previously trapped in siloed margin accounts to be deployed more efficiently.

In practice, Hyperliquid now behaves like a Tier-1 venue inside a prime brokerage setup. Trading desks operate with familiar sub-account structures, institutional fee tiers, and standard API-based execution — without changing how they trade. Each institutional client receives a dedicated sub-account within Arkis's Hyperliquid DMA account and manages positions using dedicated API keys, replicating the CEX DMA setup you're already using.

The real unlock is in the margin engine. For the first time, traders can borrow against a single portfolio margin that spans integrated CEX venues and Hyperliquid. A spot position hedged on Hyperliquid is treated as a net-risk exposure, not two siloed trades.

This integration removes capital friction where real trading activity already exists. Whether you're capturing funding spreads on Hyperliquid or hedging carry across venues, the objective is maximizing return on equity by minimizing capital drag. Arkis provides the infrastructure to do that across venues.
