Update
Pump.fun Expands to Perpetual Futures Trading
Pump.fun, a meme coin launchpad, has expanded its services by introducing perpetual futures trading powered by Hyperliquid. The new feature offers leveraged cryptocurrency trading with builder fees up to 0.10% per order and bridge fees up to 0.25%. The expansion allows users to trade perpetual futures without owning the underlying assets or facing a fixed expiration date. Pump.fun provides the interface, while Hyperliquid handles order matching, collateral, funding payments, and liquidations. The update was published on October 17, 2026, and prohibits U.S. users, including those in American territories, and Ontario users from accessing the feature.
