VALR is expanding its Perps offering to more than 200 markets across equities, commodities, forex and crypto, using Hyperliquid’s on-chain infrastructure to provide liquidity and execution.
VALR said it is expanding its Perps perpetual futures offering with more than 200 cross-asset markets spanning global equities, commodities, precious metals, stock indices, foreign exchange pairs and cryptocurrencies through an integration with Hyperliquid. The setup allows users to take leveraged long or short positions inside the VALR app while trades are executed through Hyperliquid’s permissionless infrastructure, in what VALR described as the first native integration by a major regulated exchange of an on-chain protocol to source liquidity for cross-asset perpetuals. The move builds on VALR’s initial perpetuals launch in 2023 and comes as perpetual futures volumes regularly exceed hundreds of billions of dollars a day, with decentralized venues led by Hyperliquid gaining market share and traditional-asset perpetuals moving further into the mainstream.
