TL;DR
- Ledger will allow some of its users to access Hyperliquid’s perps markets from their hardware wallets.
- This is possible thanks to Ledger's partnership with Yield.xyz.
Ledger Integrates Hyperliquid Perps Trading Via Yield.xyz
Hardware wallet provider Ledger is expanding its capabilities by integrating Yield.xyz as it rolls out perpetual (perps) trading within its wallet ecosystem. The move gives users direct access to onchain derivatives markets powered by Hyperliquid—all while maintaining hardware-level security.
Yield.xyz operates as a non-custodial API that allows wallets and custodians to tap into a wide range of onchain yield opportunities. These include staking, restaking, liquid staking, DeFi lending, real-world asset (RWA) yields, and vault strategies. According to its documentation, the platform connects to roughly 80% of the DeFi market, covering most major protocols through a single integration.
Through this partnership, Ledger’s interface will route perpetual trading activity via Hyperliquid, currently the largest onchain derivatives venue by volume. Data indicates the platform processed around $181 million in trading volume last month, highlighting growing demand for decentralized derivatives.
JF Rochet, Ledger’s Executive Vice President of Consumer Services, emphasized the importance of security in this expansion:
“By introducing perpetual trading in Ledger Wallet, we’re combining hardware-grade protection with one of crypto’s fastest-growing sectors. Users can now trade directly from self-custodial wallets without giving up control of their assets.”
The new feature allows eligible users to engage in leveraged trading while keeping their private keys secure within their hardware wallets. Ledger pointed out that most existing perps trading occurs in environments with elevated risks—such as browser wallets, centralized exchanges, or workflows requiring blind signing.
Initially, the rollout will reach around 20% of Ledger’s user base across selected regions, with broader availability planned over time. However, access will be restricted in certain jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and Ontario, Canada.
Yield.xyz already supports Ledger’s earning and staking services. With this latest integration, the partnership extends into derivatives trading via a widget designed for clear-signed, hardware-secured transactions. Notably, Yield.xyz also recently launched a DeFi infrastructure stack for AI agents within Privy, a software wallet platform backed by Stripe.
