RKLB is a cash-settled perpetual futures contract on Hyperliquid, deployed via trade.xyz as a HIP-3 builder market.

HIP-3 markets extend Hyperliquid beyond crypto, bringing equities, commodities, and indices on-chain with 24/7 trading, no KYC, and the same on-chain order book infrastructure that powers Hyperliquid's native perpetuals.
Why Trade RKLB on Hyperliquid?
Rocket Lab is one of the highest-beta names in the publicly traded space sector, with the underlying often moving 5–10% on a single launch result, defense contract award, or satellite-systems business update. As the closest peer trader proxy for SpaceX, RKLB attracts directional flow from space-and-defense narrative traders that would otherwise have no publicly listed expression. Trade.xyz lists RKLB-PERP as a cash-settled USDC contract referencing the spot Rocket Lab share price oracle. The 24/7 perp is concretely useful here because the catalysts that move the stock — Neutron rocket test campaigns, Electron launch successes/anomalies, Department of Defense contract announcements, NASA mission selections — frequently break outside US session hours and over weekends. For traders building a "space and defense" basket alongside PLTR (defense software) and INTC (semiconductors) perps, RKLB-PERP delivers the launch-cadence and constellation-buildout angle in the same wallet, with the same USDC margin balance. KYC-free access at the deployer-set maximum leverage shown in the contract specs on this page gives international traders direct exposure they would otherwise need a US broker to access.
RKLB Contract Notes & Catalysts to Watch
RKLB-PERP tracks the spot Rocket Lab Class A share price via the trade.xyz oracle with hourly funding. Catalysts: quarterly earnings (typically February, May, August, November), Electron launch attempts (~one per month, watch Rocket Lab's announced launch windows), Neutron rocket development milestones, and large defense or NASA contract awards. RKLB has historically traded with elevated short interest, so funding rates can dislocate sharply during squeezes — perp funding often spikes positive on rally days, creating yield opportunities for delta-neutral traders willing to short the perp while holding spot exposure elsewhere.
