With this expansion, users will have the option to open long or short positions using their USDC or SOL balance directly from their native wallets, eliminating the need for external cross-chain bridges.
According to Pump.fun’s statement, the technical architecture connects to Hyperliquid’s on-chain execution engine, granting access to a catalog of over 300 financial markets. The trading setup is structured under an isolated margin model, incorporating risk management tools that allow users to place take-profit and stop-loss orders both during order configuration and throughout the position’s lifespan.
Regarding leverage, the platform’s published parameters establish a maximum of 40x for Bitcoin and 25x for Ethereum. For single stocks like Tesla and Nvidia, the ratio reaches up to 20x, while the S&P 500 index supports a maximum leverage of up to 50x. The fee schedule set by Pump.fun includes a baseline rate of 0.05% per transaction—which can be reduced to 0.04% via referral codes—applied on top of Hyperliquid’s standard protocol fees.
Operating conditions, restrictions, and market behavior
The Pump.fun team explained that the perpetual futures service excludes users located in jurisdictions where access to derivative instruments constitutes a regulatory breach or faces legal restrictions. Furthermore, the risk disclosure highlights that these leveraged contracts carry the potential for partial or total liquidation of deposited capital during adverse market price swings.
This rollout coincides chronologically with the sector-wide expansion of perpetual contracts, following similar launches by Crypto.com and OG.com for eligible US traders just a day prior.
Despite the expanded utility across both platforms, tokens linked to the protocols trended lower on the day of the announcement.
CoinGecko data shows that as of 16:30 UTC on Wednesday, October 28, the native token PUMP traded at $0.004192, marking a 3.0% decline over the past 24 hours.
