Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by multiple, highly relevant sources. Several news outlets, including Coinfomania, Bitget News, and CryptoNinjas, explicitly report on the launch or planned introduction of a perpetual trading feature by Trust Wallet. These sources consistently corroborate the key details of the statement: access to over 100 markets and leverage up to 100x. Crucially, an official guide from Trust Wallet itself explains how to use the Hyperliquid perpetuals platform, which serves as direct evidence of a functional integration providing access to perpetuals trading. While some sources mention the feature is enabled through ASTER DEX and the official guide focuses on Hyperliquid, this does not create a contradiction. Instead, it suggests that Trust Wallet provides access to perpetuals through integrations with one or more third-party DEXs, which aligns with the statement's claim that it "launched a perpetual decentralized exchange" feature. The sources with low relevance provide general background information or discuss unrelated topics and do not contradict the claim. The overwhelming weight of consistent and specific evidence from both journalistic and official sources makes the statement very likely to be true.
Summary
In an official announcement, Trust Wallet revealed the launch of Perp DEX integrated with Aster DEX liquidity, offering more than 100 self-custodial perpetual markets with leverage up to 100x. The service excludes users in the U.S., U.K., and other restricted regions. Eligible users will also receive future TWT token fee discounts. This rollout expands Trust Wallet’s decentralized trading capabilities beyond spot markets, providing high-leverage futures trading without contract expirations while maintaining full user custody of funds.
