Bitget Wallet has announced a significant enhancement to its on-chain derivatives offerings through a comprehensive integration with Hyperliquid, marking it as the largest decentralized perpetual exchange by trading volume. This strategic upgrade aims to cater to the growing global adoption of decentralized derivatives by introducing features such as lower trading fees, an expanded array of asset coverage, and a professional-grade trading interface within a self-custodial environment.
The integration updates the perpetual trading product of Bitget Wallet, enabling it to serve a diverse user base that includes both active retail traders and those seeking centralized exchange-like execution while maintaining self-custody. Users can expect to benefit from competitive on-chain perpetual fees ranging from 0.06% to 0.09%. The upgrade also expands access to over 300 crypto perpetual trading pairs and equity-linked perpetual contracts tied to tokenized stocks and various real-world asset-based instruments. The platform supports leverage of up to 150x, with the trading interface designed to clearly outline margin requirements, open positions, and risk exposure at the point of order placement. The overarching goal, as stated by Bitget Wallet, is to merge capital efficiency with enhanced transparency for users engaged in high-frequency or leveraged trading strategies.
Central to this release are the usability and performance enhancements made to the trading interface. The revamped platform features a professional trading layout equipped with configurable candlestick charts and order books, along with streamlined order placement options. This layout allows traders to customize their views based on specific strategies while minimizing friction between app launch and execution, thereby improving the overall user experience compared to conventional wallet-based perpetual products.
The integration coincides with a notable increase in traction within decentralized derivatives markets, with total on-chain derivatives trading volume projected to exceed $3 trillion in 2025, essentially doubling that of 2024. Hyperliquid currently commands over 70% of the decentralized perpetual trading volume, solidifying its status as a leading liquidity venue. Bitget Wallet has reported strong growth in its derivatives activities, citing that perpetual trading volume surpassed $8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025 alone. By building its perpetual trading framework around Hyperliquid, Bitget Wallet aims to solidify its position as a key access point for on-chain exposure to global crypto and tokenized asset markets.
The strategic direction and commentary from industry leaders highlight the rapid growth of perpetuals as a primary use case in on-chain finance. Jamie Elkaleh, the chief marketing officer at Bitget Wallet, remarked on the fragmented and often complex nature of perpetual trading experiences in the past. He emphasized that by integrating Hyperliquid directly into Bitget Wallet, the company is poised to provide a trading environment that combines deep liquidity, low fees, and professional-grade tools—all housed in a self-custodial setup that remains intuitive for everyday users.
