Ventuals Winds Down, Halting OPENAI and ANTHROPIC Market Trading
Ventuals, the project behind OpenAI and Anthropic perpetual markets and one of the biggest players that provides trading of private-company stocks on Hyperliquid, is winding down and joining another team in the ecosystem, signaling that this hot new market is beginning to consolidate. The move has halted trading in the OPENAI and ANTHROPIC markets, with all positions settled automatically. Other markets will be shutting down in the coming days. The team said it generated more than $650M in trading volume and attracted over 500,000 HYPE in community support during its run.
