Perps vs spot

Perps let you take directional exposure using margin; spot means you actually own the token. Hyperliquid's spot market runs on the HIP-1/HIP-2 standard and is most often used for direct native-asset purchases like HYPE.

Buying HYPE

Three simple steps

1. Open the Spot tab

Switch to Spot in the top navigation.

2. Select the HYPE pair

Search HYPE and open the market.

3. Market or limit buy

Enter size and submit.

Purchased HYPE can be held or staked to unlock the trading-fee discount tier. See the HYPE token page for details.

Fees

Spot fees — 2× tier counting

Spot base fees are taker 0.070%, maker 0.040%. Spot volume counts toward the fee tier, so spot-focused traders can climb tiers faster.

Stablecoin-to-stablecoin pairs have an 80% reduction on the taker side. See the fees page for the full tier table.
