Velvet × Hyperliquid: Perps Trading Has Arrived
Spot. Yield. Perps. One Terminal.
DeFi trading has been fragmented for too long.
Spot positions on DEXs.
Yield strategies across lending protocols.
Perpetuals on separate platforms.
Different interfaces. Different risk views. No unified system.
That changes now.
Velvet is integrating Hyperliquid, the leading decentralized perpetual futures exchange, bringing high-performance perps trading directly into the Velvet terminal.
For the first time, you can manage spot, yield, and perpetuals positions across chains all in one place.
Why Hyperliquid?
Hyperliquid has emerged as the dominant force in onchain perpetual futures trading.
Built on its own custom Layer 1 blockchain, it delivers a trading experience that rivals centralized exchanges while remaining fully onchain.
$195B+ monthly volume
$1.5T+ all-time volume
300+ trading pairs
Sub-second finality
Up to 50x leverage
With a fully onchain order book and zero gas fees, Hyperliquid offers speed, liquidity, and execution quality unmatched in DeFi.
Velvet × Hyperliquid
The Perps Engine Meets the Portfolio Brain
Hyperliquid is one of the most advanced perps engines in crypto.
Velvet is building the portfolio intelligence layer around it.
Through this integration, Hyperliquid becomes the execution layer for perpetuals, while Velvet provides:
Portfolio aggregation
Cross-chain visibility
Risk management
AI-powered workflows
Perps trading is no longer isolated, it becomes part of your entire portfolio.
Trade More Than Crypto
Hyperliquid is expanding what’s possible in DeFi trading.
Through its permissionless market listings, users can now access perpetuals on:
Commodities (Crude Oil)
Precious Metals (Gold, Silver)
Stocks (COIN, TSLA, and more)
Equity indices (S&P 500)
All onchain, 24/7, non-custodial.
Velvet brings these markets directly into your portfolio alongside your crypto positions.
What’s Coming Next: AI-Powered Perps Trading
This is just the beginning.
The integration of Hyperliquid unlocks a much bigger vision… bringing AI-native trading workflows to perpetuals.
Velvet’s AI layer - Velvet Unicorn - is being built to deeply understand the mechanics of perps trading, including:
Funding rates
Liquidation levels
Market volatility
Portfolio-wide risk
And soon, it won’t just analyze, it will act.
Natural Language Trading
You’ll be able to execute trades with simple commands like, just like you can on spot with Velvet:
“Short 2 ETH on Hyperliquid.”
Velvet will interpret the intent, construct the trade, and execute it seamlessly.
Automated Strategies
Instead of manually monitoring markets, you’ll define strategies like:
If ETH funding exceeds 0.05%, open a short
Maximize my APY by running funding rate arbitrage on the top 5 crypto assets with automatic rebalancing
Run a BTC Perp Trading Strategy based on these indicators
And more!
Velvet AI will continuously monitor conditions and execute these strategies on your behalf.
The Future of Trading Is Unified
DeFi has been powerful, but fragmented.
Velvet is building the opposite:
A single system where everything connects.
Spot.
Yield.
Perps.
AI.
All working together.
