Blockchain.com Introduces Perpetual Futures Trading within Non-Custodial Wallet

Blockchain.com has expanded its suite of services by introducing perpetual futures trading within its non-custodial DeFi wallet. The feature, routed through decentralized derivatives venue Hyperliquid, enables users to open leveraged positions directly from self-custodied Bitcoin without transferring assets to a third party.

The ability to access over 190 markets with up to 40x leverage while keeping assets in the user's wallet throughout the trade lifecycle is expected to simplify hedging and speculative strategies for traders. The Bitcoin-for-funding model further enhances capital efficiency by eliminating intermediate steps, reducing settlement risk, and enabling faster entry and exit from positions.
