Pump.fun taps Hyperliquid for perpetual futures trading — Will it boost PUMP, HYPE?

Pump.fun has rolled out support for perpetual futures (perps) for crypto assets including Bitcoin and Ethereum. The offerings also span RWA (real-world assets) perps covering the S&P 500, oil, and other U.S. stocks with up to 50x leverage, powered by Hyperliquid. Neither the platform nor its leadership has officially announced the update as of press time. However, the new perps feature is already live for trading. Pump.fun will join a growing list of super-apps and wallets (Phantom, MetaMask, Rabbit Wallet, etc.) that are using Hyperliquid to offer leveraged trading across various asset classes. This marks a significant milestone and evolution for Pump.fun as it expands beyond just a Solana-based memecoin launchpad to include a DeFi platform and self-custody wallet. So, will the expansion boost PUMP and HYPE tokens?
