Key takeaways

- 2The platform offers up to 50x leverage on crypto, equities, and commodities.
- 3Trades execute on the Hyperliquid DEX via self-custodial wallets funded from Bitso accounts.
Bitso launched perpetual futures trading on more than 200 markets on Monday, allowing users to trade crypto, equities, and commodities with leverage. The Latin American exchange said the service provides up to 50x leverage across various asset classes including foreign exchange and market indices. Users can access these markets directly through their existing exchange accounts.
Orders for the new service execute on the Hyperliquid decentralised exchange. Users trade from a self-custodial wallet that is funded directly from their Bitso accounts. This structure combines the interface of a centralised exchange with the settlement and custody features of a decentralised protocol, ensuring that funds remain under the user's control during the trading process.
Bitso is one of the largest cryptocurrency platforms in Latin America, serving millions of users across Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia. The expansion into perpetual futures follows a broader trend of crypto platforms integrating traditional financial assets into their offerings. On 5 November, the Jtx platform similarly launched tokenised international equities using infrastructure from Backpack and Ondo.
The move suggests a shift toward hybrid trading models where centralised exchanges act as gateways to decentralised liquidity pools. Traders will watch for how Bitso manages the regulatory requirements of offering synthetic exposure to equities and commodities in its primary jurisdictions. The integration of self-custodial wallets indicates a focus on reducing counterparty risk for retail users while expanding available asset classes.
