AML check on Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid is a blockchain built around an on-chain trading exchange (HyperCore) plus an Ethereum-style chain (HyperEVM); both use the same 0x addresses.

Address format0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters — the same address on HyperCore and HyperEVM0x8fda4dac2c5e454e45557352bc7e284c171fea9dExample for illustration, not a real address.
Note

Funds can sit on HyperCore or HyperEVM under the same 0x address, and USDC usually comes in from Arbitrum or via Circle's CCTP. Ask your checker which side it screens and whether it traces funds back to the chain they came from.

How to check a Hyperliquid address

  1. Get the public addressAsk your counterparty for the address they will send from — or copy it from the incoming transaction.
  2. Pick a service that covers HyperliquidChoose one marked “Supported” in the list above. Check that your AML checker covers both HyperCore and HyperEVM, since the same 0x address can hold funds on both.
  3. Run the check and read itBefore sending HYPE from an exchange, confirm whether it supports HyperCore or HyperEVM, and send a small test amount first.
A real AML check needs only a public address. Never share a seed phrase or private key.

Hyperliquid specifics

  • When you move a token from HyperCore to HyperEVM, it arrives at the same 0x address that sent it. Transfers between the two sides go through special system addresses, such as 0x2222...2222 for HYPE.[1]
  • USDC is natively minted on Hyperliquid and can be brought in from Arbitrum and other chains with Circle's CCTP transfer system. The older Arbitrum bridge now holds less than 10% of the USDC on HyperCore.[2]
  • If you deposit from a connected wallet, Hyperliquid accepts only USDC sent from Arbitrum, and deposits under 5 USDC are lost.[3]
  • All Hyperliquid transactions are recorded on a public ledger that anyone can check, and the network is secured by a permissionless set of independent validators.[4]
  • Some exchanges support sending and receiving HYPE on HyperCore but not on HyperEVM, so Hyperliquid advises confirming support and sending a test transaction first.[5]
  • A US federal criminal complaint filed in Manhattan (SDNY) alleges that a defendant used non-public information about upcoming Robinhood crypto listings to buy perpetual futures on Hyperliquid before the announcements, on about ten occasions between 2025 and January 2026, making more than $50,000 in illicit profits. These are allegations, not proven findings.[6]

FAQ

Is my address the same on HyperCore and HyperEVM?

Yes. Both use the same 0x address format, and Hyperliquid's developer docs say a token moved from HyperCore to HyperEVM arrives at the address that sent it. Transfers between the two go through special system addresses, such as 0x2222...2222 for HYPE.

How does USDC get onto Hyperliquid?

Hyperliquid's docs say USDC is natively minted on Hyperliquid and can be moved in from other chains, including Arbitrum, with Circle's CCTP. If you deposit from a connected wallet, only Arbitrum USDC is supported, and deposits under 5 USDC are lost.

Is USDT native on Hyperliquid?

No. Hyperliquid is not on Tether's list of supported chains (checked October 2026), so any USDT-style token there is not issued directly by Tether. Circle does list HyperEVM as a native USDC chain.

How do I check a Hyperliquid address for AML risk?

Copy the public address, open one of the services listed above that supports Hyperliquid, and run the check. You never need a seed phrase or private key.

What does “Not verified” mean?

The service claims support somewhere — in marketing copy or a third-party page — but its own docs, pricing or FAQ do not list the network. Treat it as unknown.
