> Signed orders go to Hyperliquid, which executes trades and holds positions and collateral.

Pump.fun has added perpetual futures to its interface but bars U.S. users, sending signed orders to Hyperliquid for execution and settlement. Hyperliquid also holds the resulting positions and collateral.

The Perps feature extends Pump.fun’s coin-creation service into derivatives trading. Pump.fun acts as the software interface: users submit signed orders through it, while Hyperliquid matches and executes them.

The U.S. restriction applies to people located in the country, its residents, and people or entities incorporated or organized there. The restriction also covers other users and jurisdictions.

Positions may be liquidated, and traders can lose all the collateral they post. Prices, margin levels and liquidation levels displayed in Pump.fun’s interface may differ from Hyperliquid’s execution. If access to Pump.fun’s feature ends, open positions may remain on Hyperliquid.

Fomo announced June 11, 2026, that it had launched perpetuals powered by Hyperliquid and Trade[XYZ], while excluding U.S. persons. Both apps add derivatives access for consumers, and Pump.fun routes its orders to Hyperliquid.
