VALR Integrates Hyperliquid to Launch Cross-Asset Perpetuals

VALR, one of Africa’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has integrated the onchain Layer 1 protocol Hyperliquid. The move signals that centralized trading platforms are beginning to directly adopt liquidity and trading infrastructure from decentralized markets, while expanding perpetual contracts beyond crypto assets to traditional financial instruments including U.S. stocks, gold and foreign exchange.

VALR’s new perpetual contracts product, Perps, natively integrates Hyperliquid’s onchain liquidity and offers more than 200 cross-asset markets with trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As of July 20, 2026, no exact launch date, investment amount, leverage limits or eligible regions had been disclosed.
