VALR, Hyperliquid launch 200+ cross-asset perpetuals
VALR launched ‘Perps’ via an integration with Hyperliquid, offering more than 200 cross-asset perpetual futures that execute on Hyperliquid’s on-chain infrastructure.
VALR announced ‘Perps,’ a cross-asset perpetual futures product that offers more than 200 markets through an integration with the on-chain protocol Hyperliquid. Users can open leveraged long or short positions on equities, commodities, metals, indices, forex pairs and cryptocurrencies inside the VALR app while execution and liquidity are handled on Hyperliquid’s permissionless infrastructure.
The product expands VALR’s derivatives range after an initial perpetuals launch in 2023. The exchange, regulated in South Africa, stated Perps provide 24/7 access to global assets, including tokenized and pre-IPO shares and traditional instruments that normally trade during set hours.
Orders are opened and managed in VALR’s interface and routed to Hyperliquid on-chain for execution and liquidity. The exchange described the connection as a native integration between a regulated venue and an on-chain protocol to source cross-asset perpetual liquidity.
Perpetual futures now account for a large share of global derivatives activity. Industry data indicate perpetuals regularly reach into the hundreds of billions of dollars in daily volume. Decentralized perpetual venues have increased market share as on-chain liquidity has deepened and tokenized versions of equities, commodities and forex have expanded from niche uses into larger markets.
VALR’s Perps cover single-stock and index contracts such as SpaceX, NVIDIA, Tesla, Apple, SK Hynix, Samsung, Palantir Technologies and the S&P 500. Commodity contracts include Brent and WTI crude, natural gas and base and precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum and copper. Major forex pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY are available alongside a range of digital-currency perpetuals.
Gianluca Sacco, VALR’s chief operating officer, said ‘Perps are how crypto traders take a view on price — a market now exceeding hundreds of billions of dollars in daily volume.’ He added the Hyperliquid integration will route liquidity on-chain for those positions.
The company stated the expanded offering lets traders take leveraged long or short positions to express views across sectors and react to events such as energy-price moves, earnings or crypto-native catalysts. VALR framed the launch as part of broader growth in multi-asset perpetual contracts and the tokenization of traditional instruments.
