Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan said he might study options if he launched another company and could no longer develop infrastructure.

Speaking at DAS 2026 Asia, Yan described HIP-4 as a clear way to build an options protocol. He said it could retain spot markets, an order book and portfolio margin.

Yan also said perpetual contracts could be used to hedge options’ delta exposure. The report was published Oct. 8 at 5:39 a.m. ET (09:39 UTC).
