Pump.fun Brings Hyperliquid Perps to Its Meme Coin Empire

Pump.fun has expanded beyond its Solana meme coin business, introducing perpetual futures trading powered by Hyperliquid. The new interface offers leveraged cryptocurrency trading while charging builder fees of up to 0.10% per order and bridge fees reaching 0.25%. However, traders in the United States and Ontario are barred from using the feature, according to terms updated Oct. 17, 2026. Pump.fun built its reputation helping traders create and speculate on Solana meme coins. Now the memecoin launchpad is moving into a different corner of cryptocurrency trading, offering leveraged perpetual futures through the perps decentralized exchange (DEX) Hyperliquid. The expansion, detailed in updated terms published Oct. 17, 2026, introduces another potential revenue stream for Pump.fun without requiring the company to operate its own derivatives exchange.
