Direct answer

Canadian users should check the current Hyperliquid interface terms and their local regulator before using the app. HypeBasis manually verified the live terms on August 26, 2026: the June 15, 2026 terms identify persons and entities in Ontario, Canada as Restricted Persons and prohibit their use of the interface. The same terms do not provide a blanket eligibility answer for the rest of Canada. Ontario content does not promote access or show referral CTAs.

Current status

Verified on August 26, 2026 against the live June 15, 2026 interface terms: Ontario is explicitly included in the Restricted Person definition. General Canadian location is not proof of eligibility because provincial rules, personal status, and the interface terms must still be checked. HypeBasis keeps this page non-promotional.

What to do next

  1. 01Confirm you are using the official Hyperliquid app and docs links.
  2. 02Check the current interface terms before using any trading interface.
  3. 03Confirm whether your province or personal status is restricted.
  4. 04If you are in Ontario, read the Ontario restriction page instead of using a referral page.
  5. 05Consider local legal and tax obligations before trading.
Risk notice
Crypto perpetuals and leveraged trading are high risk. You can lose money through liquidation, funding, slippage, oracle issues, protocol failures, and market volatility.

Risks and limits

  • This site does not provide legal advice.
  • Do not rely on affiliate pages for legal status or access eligibility.
  • Derivatives rules vary by province and may be updated by regulators, venues, or interface providers.
  • A Canadian reader should not assume that a general country page overrides province-specific restrictions.

Questions

Is Ontario treated differently?

Yes. The live June 15, 2026 interface terms manually verified on August 26 expressly include persons and entities in Ontario, Canada in the Restricted Person definition.

Can this page tell me if I am legally allowed to trade?

No. It can point to current source material, but you should get local professional advice for legal questions.

Why does HypeBasis separate Ontario from Canada?

The current app terms list Ontario as restricted, so Ontario needs a clearer no-CTA page instead of being folded into a general Canada overview.

Should Canadian readers use referral pages first?

No. Eligibility and restriction checks come before referral economics. Read jurisdiction and risk pages before any monetized action.
