Velvet integrates Hyperliquid to offer 50x leverage on 300+ pairs
DeFi asset management protocol Velvet has integrated the Hyperliquid perpetual futures DEX, giving users access to over 300 trading pairs with up to 50x leverage from a single terminal. The integration, announced on April 16, 2026, unifies spot, yield, and perpetuals trading within Velvet's existing interface.
"This integration creates a unified, seamless trading experience that DeFi power users have been demanding," a Velvet representative said in the official announcement.
The integration brings Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange on Arbitrum with over $1.5 trillion in cumulative trading volume, directly into the Velvet interface. According to DefiLlama, the move allows users to manage spot positions, yield farming strategies, and complex derivatives without switching platforms, a significant workflow improvement for active traders.
The move positions Velvet as an all-in-one DeFi hub, potentially increasing its Total Value Locked (TVL) and trading volume by attracting traders from centralized exchanges. This could signal a broader trend toward platform aggregation in the DeFi ecosystem as protocols compete to offer the most comprehensive and user-friendly experience.
