Decentralized, Not Unregulated: Perps Trading on Hyperliquid in Canada
About the event
This week, we're excited to welcome Stephen Pederson of Pederson Law for a discussion on the rapidly evolving legal landscape of perpetual futures trading in Canada. Perps are one of the hottest narratives in crypto right now. Spearheaded by Hyperliquid and rapidly adopted by Lighter (Ethereum), Aster (Binance), Fomo (Solana), and many more, perpetual futures are reshaping how people trade onchain. But decentralized doesn't mean unregulated. As decentralized derivatives markets grow, so do the legal and regulatory questions surrounding them. What does Canadian law say about trading perps? How does regulation apply to decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid?
And what should Canadian traders, builders, and protocol operators know? Join us for a practical, Canada-focused conversation with a lawyer working at the intersection of blockchain and financial regulation.
