VALR, the Johannesburg-based cryptocurrency exchange, is set to<\/span> launch its new perpetuals product <\/span><\/a>on its web platform on July 6, 2026, through a direct integration with Hyperliquid. The \u201cPerps\u201d product adds over 200 cross-asset markets to VALR, enabling users to open and manage positions directly within the exchange\u2019s platform as demand for derivatives trading continues to grow in the crypto market.<\/span><\/p>\n

VALR Adds 200+ Perps Markets<\/b><\/h2>\n

The new product allows VALR users to open leveraged long or short positions on the newly added markets. This is not the exchange\u2019s first time rolling out perpetuals: VALR stated it launched its initial perpetuals offering back in 2023. The novelty of this expansion lies in the scale of the product, as Perps brings a wide array of cross-asset markets into VALR\u2019s existing trading interface.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce the imminent launch of ‘Perps’ on VALR, a new cross-asset class perpetuals product that introduces more than 200 markets to the platform.<\/p>\n

The new product is delivered through an integration of @HyperliquidX<\/a>. Using Hyperliquid\u2019s permissionless\u2026<\/p>\n

The new contracts span crypto, equities, indices, commodities, precious metals, and foreign exchange. Some of the markets mentioned by VALR include Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, the S&P 500, Brent crude, gold, silver, and major forex pairs such as EUR\/USD, GBP\/USD, and USD\/JPY.<\/span><\/p>\n

This scale makes Perps a cross-asset derivatives offering, rather than just an extension of crypto futures. For VALR users, the new product offers additional ways to trade volatility across multiple markets in a single account.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hyperliquid Powers Liquidity and Execution<\/b><\/h2>\n

The new Perps product is deployed via an integration with Hyperliquid, a prominent decentralized Layer-1 blockchain in the perpetuals and spot trading sector. VALR stated that users can open and manage positions directly on VALR, while liquidity and trade execution are powered by Hyperliquid\u2019s infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hyperliquid also confirmed on X that VALR is utilizing its network as an on-chain infrastructure layer to bring perpetuals to users. According to Hyperliquid, this marks the first time a centralized exchange has directly integrated Hyperliquid, allowing users to access deep liquidity and on-chain data without leaving the VALR platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite expanding to over 200 new derivatives markets, VALR retains the trading experience within its own ecosystem instead of redirecting users to an external platform. For Hyperliquid, the agreement expands the network\u2019s role from an independent trading venue to an infrastructure layer for other financial applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perps Move Beyond Crypto<\/b><\/h2>\n

VALR\u2019s addition of contracts tied to equities, indices, commodities, precious metals, and forex demonstrates that perpetuals are moving beyond the realm of pure crypto. Instead of only serving pairs like Bitcoin or Ethereum, the new product brings multiple global assets into a single trading interface on VALR.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gianluca Sacco, Chief Operating Officer of VALR, stated that this launch will bring over 200 perpetual markets directly into the VALR app, providing 24\/7 access to crypto, commodities, currencies, listed equities, and pre-IPO shares. \u201cPerpetual futures have become one of the most popular ways for crypto traders to express views on price,\u201d Sacco said, while suggesting that this product type could expand to even more asset markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

For VALR, Perps is positioned as a cross-asset derivatives product, rather than just an addition to crypto futures. Users can trade volatility across multiple asset classes within the same account, ranging from crypto and tech stocks to energy commodities, precious metals, and major currency pairs.<\/span><\/p>\n
