Key Takeaways:
Trust Wallet, a self-custody crypto wallet with over 220 million downloads, integrated the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange on April 29, unlocking over 200 perpetual futures markets for its user base.
"Perp traders have been telling us what they need; deeper liquidity, tighter spreads, more markets," Felix Fan, CEO of Trust Wallet, said. "This integration with Hyperliquid is about becoming the wallet serious traders want to stay in."
The integration provides access to markets for cryptocurrencies and real-world assets (RWAs), including oil, gold, and the S&P 500, directly within the Trust Wallet app. Hyperliquid, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain, has processed over $4 trillion in trading volume, and RWA open interest on the platform recently surpassed $2 billion, according to a company announcement.
The move aims to capture a growing segment of professional traders who demand sophisticated products like perpetuals within a self-custodial environment. It directly challenges desktop-first platforms and centralized exchanges by bundling spot trading, derivatives, and broad asset support in a single mobile application, all while users retain full control of their funds.
The collaboration is part of a broader trend of crypto platforms expanding their product suites to attract and retain users. Hyperliquid has also signaled its intent to compete with prediction market leaders like Kalshi and Polymarket by developing its own outcome token trading, which is currently on testnet. This suggests a strategy of building a comprehensive trading ecosystem.
For Trust Wallet users, the experience is designed for simplicity, with no need for complex bridging or connecting to external dApps. Users can deposit assets from supported networks and begin trading in under two seconds, according to the announcement.
Trust Wallet Perps with Hyperliquid is not available to users in several jurisdictions, including the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Australia, and Canada.
