- Bitso expands its offering for traders with Perps through Bitso: an interface in Bitso Alpha, tapping into Hyperliquid, to trade perpetual futures on crypto, equities, indices, commodities and FX.
- Orders execute on Hyperliquid, the deepest onchain order book in the market. Every order, fill and liquidation is verifiable onchain, and users trade from their Perps wallet, a self-custodial wallet under their control, funded from their Bitso account.
- Perps through Bitso will be available on the web from Monday, 9 November, including from mobile browsers.
Today we’re introducing Perps through Bitso, a new way to trade perpetual futures from the Bitso Alpha interface. Onchain liquidity, transparent execution and 24/7 access. Trade crypto, equities, commodities, and FX, all from the Bitso interface.
A perpetual future is a contract that tracks the price of an asset and has no expiry date. A long aims to benefit if the price rises, a short if it falls. Leverage gives you more exposure with less capital, but more risk.
Tapping into Hyperliquid
Trades execute on Hyperliquid, third-party blockchain infrastructure with the deepest onchain order book in the market. Tighter spreads, less slippage, execution verifiable onchain: every order, fill and liquidation is public and can be checked.
Bitso Alpha is the interface: an easy way to view and manage your Hyperliquid account from your Perps wallet. It’s created when you activate Perps. Your collateral sits in your Perps wallet on Hyperliquid, not in Bitso’s custody, and Bitso is not the counterparty to your trades.
Crypto, equities, commodities and FX, 24/7
No market hours, no expiries. Every account works as a unified account: the same USDC balance backs every market, with no need to move funds between them.
- Crypto: BTC, ETH, and other crypto assets organized by category: Layer 1, Layer 2, DeFi, AI, Memes, Payments, Gaming and Privacy.
- Equities and indices: U.S. and international stocks, select pre-IPO markets, and indices such as the S&P 500.
- Commodities and metals: such as gold and oil.
- FX: currency pairs like USD ↔ EUR.
All prices are quoted in USD, and all markets settle in USDC.
Long and short, up to 50x
Trade in either direction, whatever the trend. Each market has its own maximum leverage, up to 50x, shown next to its name. The interface includes:
- Order types: Market, Limit, Stop Limit, Stop Market, Take Profit and TWAP.
- Take profit and stop loss when you open an order, or later: up to 4 of each per position.
- TradingView charts, order book, trade history and funding history.
- Estimated liquidation price and estimated fees before you submit each order.
Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. If a position loses enough margin, Hyperliquid liquidates it automatically, and you can lose all your collateral. Bitso cannot close positions, cancel orders, reverse trades, or refund liquidations. Funding is an hourly payment between longs and shorts: it’s a recurring cost while a position is open and can exceed trading fees.
“We set out to bring a pro-grade trading product to the Bitso interface: Hyperliquid’s onchain liquidity, more than 200 markets and the tools serious traders rely on, all in one place. Since the beta, we’ve seen strong traction from existing Bitso users, and we’re just getting started.”
— Alexandre Mehrdad, General Manager at Bitso
