Trading BTC on Hypertradeworx

Hypertradeworx is a self-custodial trading terminal. Where BTC is listed as a perpetual, the same order ticket routes to Hyperliquid, Lighter, AsterDex, GMX and Ostium, so you choose the venue per trade instead of moving funds between apps. Your keys stay on your device throughout, and you can fund by card, swap across chains, or withdraw without an exchange account.

Holding a perpetual costs or pays funding for as long as the position is open. What is a funding rate covers how that is charged, and live perp DEX funding rates shows what each venue is paying now. There is also a Bitcoin market page on the main site.
