What happened
Bloomberg Terminal, the data and trading system Bloomberg LP sells to banks, hedge funds, and asset managers, began streaming 24-hour prices for a selection of Hyperliquid perpetual contracts on Monday. The feed went live inside the Terminal's standard quote and chart functions, meaning a trader can type a Hyperliquid perp ticker the same way they would pull up a CME Bitcoin future or an FX pair.
Michael McDonough, Bloomberg's chief economist for financial products, announced the addition and showed Terminal users the lookup path. Crypto. News first reported the rollout.
Hyperliquid runs its own layer-1 chain and matches orders on an on-chain order book, and it has been the dominant decentralized perps venue by trading volume for most of the past year. Until Monday, pulling its prices into an institutional workflow meant scraping the Hyperliquid API or routing through a third-party aggregator. Now a credit desk in London or a macro fund in Connecticut can watch the same perp mark as a DeFi-native trader on a laptop in Seoul, without leaving the Terminal.
Why it matters
Bloomberg Terminal is the default price source for serious institutional capital. Getting a venue's data onto it is less a marketing win and more a plumbing upgrade: it means risk systems, pricing models, and compliance workflows can reference Hyperliquid quotes as a first-class data source rather than an exotic alt feed. That changes who is allowed to look at the market.
