VALR Integrates Hyperliquid to Launch 200 Cross-Asset Perpetual Markets

TLDR:

• VALR will launch more than 200 perpetual markets through a direct Hyperliquid integration on July 6.
• The rollout marks Hyperliquid’s first direct integration with a centralized crypto exchange.
• New contracts span crypto assets, equities, indices, commodities, precious metals, and forex pairs.
• Mobile access will follow after the web launch as VALR expands its derivatives infrastructure.

VALR, Africa’s largest crypto exchange by trade volume, will introduce more than 200 perpetual markets through a direct integration with Hyperliquid, expanding its derivatives offering beyond digital assets. The products will cover crypto, equities, indices, commodities, precious metals, and foreign exchange pairs. 

The launch marks the first direct integration of Hyperliquid by a centralized exchange. Web access is scheduled to go live on July 6, with mobile support arriving shortly afterward.

VALR and Hyperliquid Expand Cross-Asset Perpetual Trading

VALR announced the upcoming launch of its new Perps product through posts on X and a company blog update. The exchange said the offering will add more than 200 markets to its platform.

According to VALR, users will open and manage positions directly through the exchange’s interface. Hyperliquid will provide the on-chain infrastructure, liquidity sourcing, and trade execution capabilities.

The integration extends VALR’s derivatives architecture, which first introduced perpetual products in 2023. The exchange described the launch as an expansion of its existing derivatives business rather than a standalone product.

Hyperliquid Hub stated that the rollout represents the first direct integration of Hyperliquid by a centralized exchange. The account also noted that traders will gain access to several asset classes through a single interface.

Web-based trading will become available on July 6. VALR said mobile application support will follow shortly after the initial launch.

Hyperliquid Integration Adds Equities, Commodities, and Forex Markets

The new perpetual contracts span multiple global asset classes. VALR said the product will allow users to take long or short positions with leverage.

The equities offering includes contracts linked to companies such as NVIDIA Corporation, Tesla, Inc., Apple Inc., and pre-IPO markets including SpaceX.

The platform will also provide exposure to global stock benchmarks, including the S&P 500. Commodity contracts will cover markets such as Brent crude oil, WTI crude oil, natural gas, gold, silver, platinum, and copper.

Foreign exchange products will include currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY. The crypto segment will cover major assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, alongside other digital assets.

In its blog post, VALR said the integration marks the first time a major regulated exchange has natively integrated an on-chain Layer-1 protocol to source liquidity and execute trades across global cross-asset perpetual markets.

Chief Operating Officer Gianluca Sacco said the new offering brings around-the-clock access to several asset classes through the regulated exchange infrastructure that existing customers already use. 

He also stated that Hyperliquid’s infrastructure provides access to deep on-chain liquidity for the expanded perpetual markets.
