Options activity suggests traders positioned for possible regulatory developments, with call buying following Trump’s comments about Hyperliquid.

CNBC Markets reports that President Donald Trump’s remarks hinting that regulation may be coming for the crypto platform Hyperliquid were followed by a noticeable increase in call buying.

According to CNBC World, the surge in call purchases included some unusual trades, indicating traders were responding quickly to the possibility of regulatory action.
