VALR Integrates Hyperliquid: First Regulated Exchange to Use Onchain Liquidity

VALR, Africa's largest regulated crypto exchange, has integrated the Hyperliquid protocol to offer perpetual futures on over 200 markets, becoming the first major regulated exchange to natively use onchain liquidity.

The Product

The integration enables VALR users to trade perpetual futures on assets like AAPL, TSLA, and PLTR, leveraging Hyperliquid's decentralized onchain liquidity. The move aims to provide better market depth and tighter spreads.

Pricing and Availability

VALR has not yet announced a specific fee structure for Hyperliquid trading, but it is expected to be competitive. The integration is now live for VALR users.

Competition

VALR competes with exchanges like Binance and Bybit in the perpetual futures space, but its unique position as a regulated exchange using onchain liquidity could attract traders seeking transparency.

Potential Impact on the Company

The integration is expected to strengthen VALR's position as an innovative exchange in Africa, potentially increasing trading volumes and user acquisition.
