- Pump.fun Enters Perpetual Futures Market With 40x Leverage on BTC and ETH — this brief
Pump.fun has launched a new service offering leveraged trading for 
Bitcoin and 
Ethereum through a partnership with 
Hyperliquid. This marks a significant expansion for the platform, which was previously focused on memecoin trading.
The service utilizes Hyperliquid's liquidity and trading infrastructure, while Pump.fun provides the user interface. This collaboration allows Pump.fun to offer up to 40x leverage on BTC and ETH perpetual futures contracts.
The launch comes with notable risks, including potential liquidations for users who employ high leverage. Additionally, trading restrictions are in place for users in certain jurisdictions, likely due to regulatory concerns and the high-risk nature of leveraged trading.
Hyperliquid's Total Value Locked (TVL) currently stands at $332.8 million, according to DeFiLlama, indicating a substantial amount of liquidity available for trading. However, the platform's TVL has decreased by 1.7% over the past week.
In the broader market context, the total crypto market cap is at $2.8 trillion, with Bitcoin and Ethereum experiencing slight declines of 0.95% and 0.77% respectively over the past 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index remains in 'Greed' territory at 55, suggesting a moderately positive sentiment despite the recent price movements.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹8.39M (about $81,414.00), down 0.7% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 8.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
