Hyperliquid News Today: Empowering Users with Self-Custodial Wallets to Open Up $5B Ecosystem Access

Bitget Wallet, a prominent self-custody crypto wallet, has completed its integration with HyperEVM, the smart contract layer compatible with Ethereum that powers Hyperliquid’s Layer-1 blockchain. This enhancement links Bitget’s vast user base to Hyperliquid’s $5 billion on-chain ecosystem, allowing users to conduct smooth cross-chain transactions, utilize DeFi services, and access $HYPE token features directly within the wallet, as detailed in a GlobeNewswire report.

Hyperliquid operates as a high-speed decentralized exchange (DEX), merging substantial liquidity with entirely on-chain order books. Its main engine, HyperCore, delivers spot and perpetual trading with speed and capacity on par with centralized platforms, all while preserving decentralization. The HyperEVM Layer-1 network brings smart contract capabilities, enabling dApps and DeFi protocols to tap into Hyperliquid’s liquidity without causing fragmentation. Collectively, these elements create a comprehensive environment for trading, lending, staking, and programmable finance, all powered by $HYPE, which serves as the network’s gas, staking, and governance token, according to CoinEdition.

Now that the integration is active, Bitget Wallet users are able to add the HyperEVM network with just one click, move assets between chains using deBridge, trade through native aggregator paths via LiquidLaunch, and access a curated selection of HyperEVM-based dApps. This development strengthens Bitget’s position as a portal to emerging blockchain ecosystems, now supporting more than 130 blockchains and millions of tokens. Jamie Elkaleh, Bitget Wallet’s CMO, highlighted the project’s mission: “Make it easier to access one of the fastest-growing crypto ecosystems... empowering self-custody users to interact with a robust infrastructure for trading, programmable finance, and cross-chain operations,” as reported by CoinEdition.

Hyperliquid’s total value locked (TVL) has exceeded $5 billion, signaling increasing trust in its liquidity foundation. The integration also lays the groundwork for upcoming features such as perpetual trading, contract integration, and broader DeFi offerings. By connecting Bitget’s 80 million users to Hyperliquid’s platform, this partnership highlights the growing movement toward interoperability in the crypto space, where self-custody wallets and advanced DEXs work together to make sophisticated financial tools more accessible.
