The company said Tuesday it has rolled out perpetual futures trading inside its non-custodial DeFi wallet, letting users open and manage leveraged positions directly from self-custodied bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC ) without moving funds to a centralized exchange. The product is powered by Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: $HYPE ) and gives users access to more than 190 crypto markets with leverage of up to 40x. The launch gives a clearer sense of where wallet competition is heading. For years, self-custody products have been judged mostly on storage, swaps and ease of use. Perpetuals bring a different layer into the equation. Instead of treating the wallet as a place where assets sit before being moved elsewhere, Blockchain.com is trying to turn it into a place where users can trade more complex products while keeping control of their keys. The company said users can fund their perps account directly with bitcoin already held in the wallet, avoiding the transfers and conversions that usually stand between self-custody and derivatives trading. Positions can then be opened, managed and closed without relinquishing custody to an intermediary. Blockchain.com said the interface also includes real-time pricing, flexible leverage, and risk tools designed to work for both newer and more experienced traders. Co-founder and Vice Chairman Nic Cary said the goal is to make the jump from simply holding crypto to actually using it feel “instant,” while proving that keeping control of your own keys can still be the easiest way to trade. The company also said it plans to expand beyond crypto into foreign exchange, stocks and commodities, which points to a larger ambition than a wallet feature release on its own. What is taking shape here is not just more functionality inside self-custody. It is a broader attempt to bring the logic of multi-asset trading closer to where users already keep their assets. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is currently trading at $75,598 U.S. per digital token.
