Ten RWA perpetual markets launched with weekly 200K dollar incentives for traders.
Tether confirmed a strategic investment in Dreamcash’s operating entity, Supreme Liquid Labs, to expand USDT-quoted trading access. The announcement coincided with new USDT0-collateralized perpetual markets going live on Hyperliquid in January 2026. The move involves Tether, Dreamcash, Selini Capital, and traders seeking non-custodial access.
Strategic Investment and Market Launch
According to Tether, the investment supports Dreamcash’s effort to connect retail traders to onchain perpetual markets. Dreamcash operates through Supreme Liquid Labs, which received the funding.
At the same time, the first HIP-3 perpetual markets collateralized with USDT0 launched on Hyperliquid. The launch followed collaboration between Dreamcash, Selini Capital, and Tether.
Initially, ten markets became available. These include USA500/USDT, TSLA/USDT, and NVDA/USDT. Traders can access these products on Hyperliquid and through the Dreamcash application.
USDT0 Infrastructure and Access Shift
The markets rely on USDT0, Tether’s unified liquidity network. USDT0 operates using LayerZero and its OFT standard. Since January 2025, USDT0 has processed more than $50 billion in transfers across 15 networks.
Notably, USDT0 maintains a 1:1 peg with USDT through a lock-and-mint mechanism. This structure allows traders to move funds from centralized exchanges to non-custodial wallets without currency conversion.
Previously, traders holding USDT could not directly access Hyperliquid markets. The collaboration removed that limitation. As a result, USDT-margin traders can now use familiar collateral onchain.
Incentives and Trading Availability
To support early activity, Dreamcash announced a weekly incentive program. The program allocates $200,000 per week to traders based on USDT trading volume. Details on eligibility and duration remain pending.
The markets are accessible through Dreamcash’s mobile-first interface. Selini Capital provides liquidity for these products. According to Marco van den Heuvel, the setup targets traders already using USDT as their primary trading unit.The products became available during the third week of January 2026.
