Pump.fun, known for launching memecoins, is expanding into leveraged crypto perpetual futures trading powered by Hyperliquid. This integration allows Pump.fun users to trade BTC with up to 40x leverage and ETH with up to 25x leverage without owning the underlying assets. By using Hyperliquid's order book and liquidity, Pump.fun avoids building its own derivatives engine, tapping into a market with $12.43 billion daily volume. This move positions Pump.fun as a stronger competitor to platforms like FOMO, but traders should be cautious of the high risks associated with leveraged trading and potential infrastructure concentration risks.
