The legal situation in Israel
Israel is not on Hyperliquid's restricted list. Crypto service providers are licensed by CMISA as financial-asset service providers, and on 19 July 2026 CMISA published capital requirements for them. The ISA licenses leveraged trading platforms, and Israeli courts have upheld its power to stop unlicensed derivatives platforms. We found no ISA or CMISA statement on crypto perps or Hyperliquid.
Key facts
- 19 Jul 2026: CMISA set minimum equity of NIS 2–2.5 million for licensed virtual-currency service providers, effective six months after publication.

- An Israeli court (2017) held that the ISA can order unlicensed binary-options and derivatives platforms to stop until licensed.
- Tax: crypto gains are subject to capital gains tax at 25% for individuals and 23% for companies.
- No regulator statement naming Hyperliquid or DEX perps was found.
