Market Overview

The Mega Cap Index is a thematic perpetual futures contract on Hyperliquid tracking the largest US companies by market capitalization, representing the highest tier of the equity market above the typical large-cap threshold. Mega cap stocks offer the deepest liquidity and most institutional positioning in global equity markets, with index performance closely tied to passive investment flows, buyback programs, and Federal Reserve policy that disproportionately affects the most rate-sensitive large growth companies.

Use MEGA as a higher-conviction expression of broad US equity direction compared to equal-weighted indices. Passive fund rebalancing flows at quarter-end can create predictable MEGA perp price patterns.
