Pump.fun has introduced perpetual futures trading on its platform, routing orders to Hyperliquid for execution and settlement. This new feature extends Pump.fun's coin-creation services into derivatives, but explicitly excludes users located in the U.S. or affiliated with U.S. entities. Traders should note that positions can be liquidated and collateral lost, with price and margin data potentially differing between Pump.fun and Hyperliquid. The move broadens access to crypto derivatives while maintaining regulatory compliance by restricting U.S. participation.
