Blockchain.com has introduced perpetual futures trading directly within its self-custody DeFi wallet, allowing users to open leveraged positions without transferring assets to a centralized exchange.
The new feature routes trades through Hyperliquid and provides access to more than 190 markets, including major cryptocurrencies, with leverage of up to 40x. Users can now trade while keeping full control of their private keys, marking a shift toward non-custodial derivatives trading.
Perpetual futures are crypto derivatives that allow traders to speculate on price movements without an expiration date. The product has grown rapidly in popularity, and regulatory momentum is also building. Michael Selig, chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, recently indicated that approval for such contracts in the U.S. could be forthcoming.
Blockchain.com’s integration enables users to fund positions directly using Bitcoin stored in their wallets, streamlining the trading process by removing the need for conversions or external transfers. The company also plans to expand offerings to include additional asset classes such as equities, foreign exchange, and commodities.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Malta, Blockchain.com operates as a crypto wallet, exchange, and infrastructure provider serving both retail and institutional clients.
The launch reflects a broader trend of derivatives expansion across both centralized and decentralized platforms. Exchanges such as Kraken and Coinbase have already introduced perpetual futures for non-US users, offering leveraged exposure to equities, commodities, and crypto markets.
