SNDK is a cash-settled perpetual futures contract on Hyperliquid, deployed via trade.xyz as a HIP-3 builder market. Unlike traditional futures, there is no expiry date and no physical delivery — positions roll continuously with funding rates settling every hour. All margin is denominated in USDC, and you can trade with up to 10x leverage.

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.

Hyperliquid offers distinct advantages for equity traders: gasless execution means zero transaction costs beyond the maker/taker spread, no KYC or identity verification is required to open an account, and trading is available 24/7 including weekends and holidays when traditional equity markets are closed. Self-custody ensures you retain full control of your funds at all times.

SNDK-PERP tracks the spot SanDisk share price via the trade.xyz oracle with hourly funding. SanDisk is the standalone flash-memory business that was spun out of Western Digital, so this is a fairly young ticker and a nearly pure play on the NAND flash cycle — which makes it trade very differently from a diversified chip name. The dominant driver is NAND pricing. When flash contract and spot prices are rising, SanDisk's margins expand fast because it is a commodity-memory maker with high operating leverage to the cycle; when prices roll over, it works in reverse just as hard. So the catalysts I actually watch are cycle inputs more than company events: TrendForce and DRAMeXchange monthly NAND pricing reports, supplier discipline and capex/bit-supply commentary from Kioxia, Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron, and the demand pull from AI storage, where enterprise SSDs for datacenters have become a real second demand leg on top of consumer flash. Quarterly earnings are large catalysts, but the pricing tape between prints often moves the stock more. The natural way I trade it is relative-value inside the memory complex: SNDK against KIOXIA, MU, or the DRAM index perp, since NAND and DRAM cycles can diverge. All of it sits in one USDC wallet, cash-settled and 24/7, which helps because Asian memory-pricing data lands outside US hours.
