Business·23.04.2026KI-Zusammenfassung Crypto Super Apps Merge Perps, Prediction Markets and Memecoins as Regulators Fight Back
Four major crypto platforms—Hyperliquid, Kalshi, Polymarket, and Pump.fun—are rapidly converging by adding perpetual futures, prediction markets, and memecoin trading into unified super apps designed to keep users in continuous speculative loops. Hyperliquid handles $191 billion in 30-day perp volume while Kalshi and Polymarket target $96B and $84B respectively in 2026 event market volumes. The convergence is drawing fierce regulatory scrutiny as the CFTC asserts federal jurisdiction while state attorneys general in New York and New Jersey argue these products constitute illegal gambling.
