Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by the official Blockchain.com post, "Blockchain.com launches global self-custodied perpetual futures trading," which explicitly says the feature is powered by Hyperliquid, available within Blockchain.com’s non-custodial DeFi wallet, lets users trade without moving funds to third-party exchanges, and covers 190+ crypto markets with up to 40x leverage. Odaily’s newsflash and the crypto.news article independently restate the same core facts, matching the official announcement rather than contradicting it.
