Hyperliquid launches Longxin storage, summarizing several questions that everyone cares about 💁♀️
▶︎ What exactly is being traded for Longxin storage on HL?
▶︎ The A‑share IPO price is 8.66 RMB per share; who set the initial $5 price?
▶︎ Is the price of $CXMT provided by an oracle, and why were many buy orders stacked at $6 when it first launched?
If you just want a simple conclusion, here’s a 1‑minute concise version
🔹 On Hyperliquid, CXMT trades the ‘market’s expectation of Longxin’s future per‑share price’, i.e., the potential secondary‑market price
🔹 The $5 initial price is wholly determined by the TradeXYZ platform
🔹 CXMT’s current quote is derived and calculated from the order book
Now we expand on each question; interested readers can continue
1️⃣ What exactly is being traded for Longxin storage on HL?
This question sparked wide discussion in the community before the SpaceX IPO, and later resurfaced due to changes in total share count. TradeXYZ ultimately did not choose a Rebase and insisted that ‘the price does not depend on market cap or total share data’.
In short, the current $CXMT price on Hyperliquid reflects the market’s expectation of Longxin’s future per‑share price, not directly linked to IPO price, P/E, cash flow, etc., but aims to let the market discover the price.
2️⃣ The A‑share IPO price is 8.66 RMB per share; who set the HL $5 initial price?
Hyperliquid’s HIP‑3 protocol allows any third party to stake 500,000 HYPE to deploy a perpetual contract market on‑chain and become a ‘Deployer’, with TradeXYZ being one of the earliest and largest.
When the market lacks an external price (e.g., during the Pre‑IPO phase), the initial quote of the perpetual contract is set by the Deployer (i.e., the TradeXYZ platform); the exact rulemaking is a black box.
But the $5 price isn’t arbitrarily chosen— it corresponds to the boundary range [$1.05, $17.92]; the theoretical lower bound is $1.05 (≈ 7.12 RMB), which is 82% of the A‑share IPO price of 8.66 RMB, slightly below the issue price, thus relatively reasonable.
Why this range is used is explained in the answer to the third question.
3️⃣ Is the price of $CXMT provided by an oracle?
It is divided into two phases
▶︎ Pre‑IPO phase: the quote is extracted and calculated by an oracle from the order book
▶︎ After official trading: the price is determined by actual transaction prices (external prices), and the contract price will reconverge
In the current phase, due to lack of external prices, TradeXYZ lets the oracle pull information from the order book and compute a ‘impact’
