- Pump.fun Expands into Hyperliquid-Powered Perpetual Futures Trading — this brief
Pump.fun, known for its 
Solana-based meme coin ecosystem, has launched a new feature allowing users to trade perpetual futures through a partnership with 
Hyperliquid.
The platform charges builder fees of up to 0.10% per order and bridge fees of up to 0.25%, according to the terms outlined by 
Bitcoin.com. This fee structure is designed to support the platform's operations and maintain liquidity.
The integration with Hyperliquid, which currently holds a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $314.34M, provides the infrastructure for the new trading feature. However, the TVL has seen a 1.2% decline over the past week, indicating potential market volatility.
The expansion into derivatives trading represents a significant shift for Pump.fun, which has primarily focused on meme coins. This move could attract a more diverse user base interested in leveraged trading opportunities.
Despite the strategic shift, the platform faces regulatory challenges, as users in the United States and Ontario are barred from accessing the new feature. This restriction underscores the ongoing regulatory uncertainty in the crypto derivatives market.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Solana (SOL) has moved from $103.54 to $103.67 — +0.13%.
The chart plots SOL's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ ₦141,650.54 (about $103.67), down 0.5% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
