TLDR
- Blockchain.com added Hyperliquid perpetual futures to its DeFi wallet.
- Users can trade from self custody without moving funds to another exchange.
- The product supports Bitcoin-funded positions from the wallet.
- Traders can access more than 190 crypto markets with up to 40x leverage.
- Perpetual futures are live on mobile, while web support is coming soon.
Blockchain.com has added perpetual futures to its DeFi wallet through Hyperliquid. The launch lets users trade leveraged crypto contracts from self custody. They do not need to move funds to a separate exchange. The product is now live on the company’s mobile apps, while web access is expected later.
The move gives Blockchain.com a direct entry into the fast-growing onchain perpetual futures market. It also gives Hyperliquid another major distribution channel. Blockchain.com said the service uses Hyperliquid’s infrastructure and liquidity. The wallet acts as the user interface, not the execution venue or counterparty.
Blockchain.com adds perps trading inside its wallet
The new feature allows users to open perpetual futures positions from the DeFi wallet. They can fund trades directly with Bitcoin held in the wallet. This removes the step of sending assets to another platform.
Blockchain.com said users can trade more than 190 crypto markets. The product also offers leverage of up to 40x. That places the service in line with products already common on centralized exchanges.
The company framed the rollout around access and control. Users keep custody of their assets while using the trading feature. Blockchain.com said the wallet provides the interface, while Hyperliquid handles the market infrastructure.
Hyperliquid gains a new distribution channel
The launch adds another large wallet partner for Hyperliquid. The platform has become the leading venue for onchain perpetual futures. Recent DefiLlama data shows about $6 billion in perp volume over 24 hours.
The same data shows roughly $191 billion in volume over 30 days. Open interest stood near $7.35 billion. Cumulative perpetual futures volume was above $4.28 trillion.
Those figures help explain why apps are choosing to connect to Hyperliquid. Building similar liquidity from scratch is difficult and slow. By integrating Hyperliquid, Blockchain.com can offer deep markets without running its own matching engine.
Product expansion goes beyond crypto native markets
Hyperliquid is also expanding its market model through HIP 3. The framework allows outside teams to launch permissionless perpetual products on its order book. That opens the door to more asset types beyond crypto native pairs.
The report noted that this structure has already supported products linked to traditional assets. These include licensed S&P 500 perpetuals from Trade[XYZ]. It also includes 24-hour oil trading.
For Blockchain.com, the current launch centers on crypto markets inside the wallet. Still, the wider Hyperliquid roadmap may create room for broader offerings over time. For now, the company’s message is clear: users can trade perps from self custody, inside the app, and without moving funds elsewhere.
