This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Crypto Economy, with live market data added, as of Sat, 17 Oct 2026 03:00:02 UTC.

- Hyperliquid's derivatives market provides the infrastructure for the new trading options.
- Memecoin traders can now access sophisticated derivatives products.
Pump.fun has announced a new integration with 
Hyperliquid, enabling leveraged trading for memecoins on its platform. This development allows traders to access up to 40x leverage for 
Bitcoin and 25x for 
Ethereum, according to Crypto Economy.
The integration relies on Hyperliquid's derivatives market infrastructure, which provides the necessary tools for executing leveraged trades. API logs from October 9, 2026, confirm that the system extracts open interest and funding rates from HyperCore, indicating a robust technical foundation for the new trading options.
This move is significant because it brings sophisticated derivatives products to the memecoin market, which is known for its high volatility and speculative trading. The integration could attract more traders seeking to capitalize on price swings with leveraged positions.
As of October 9, 2026, Hyperliquid's Total Value Locked (TVL) stands at $325.73 million, representing a 1.7% decrease over the past seven days, according to DeFiLlama. This suggests that while the platform is experiencing some fluctuations in value, it remains a significant player in the decentralized finance space.
In the broader market context, the total crypto market cap is $2.81 trillion, with Bitcoin trading at $81,519 (-0.63% 24h) and Ethereum at $2,421.97 (-0.41% 24h). The Fear & Greed Index is at 55, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors.

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.
