Hyperliquid News Today: Bitget Wallet Cuts DeFi Onboarding Friction for 80M Users with HyperEVM Integration

Bitget Wallet, one of the crypto industry's largest self-custodial wallets with over 80 million users, has fully integrated HyperEVM—the Ethereum-compatible smart-contract layer of the Hyperliquid Layer-1 blockchain—marking a pivotal step in expanding access to decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems. The update, announced in late October 2025, enables users to seamlessly interact with cross-chain transfers, DeFi applications, and $HYPE token utilities directly within the Bitget Wallet interface. This integration connects millions of Bitget users to Hyperliquid's $5 billion total value locked (TVL) ecosystem, which combines institutional-grade trading infrastructure with decentralized control.

Hyperliquid, a high-performance decentralized exchange (DEX), has positioned itself as a competitor to centralized platforms by offering onchain order books and low-latency trading through its HyperCore engine. With the HyperEVM layer, the platform now supports smart-contract programmability, allowing decentralized applications (dApps) and DeFi protocols to tap into Hyperliquid's liquidity pool without fragmentation. Bitget Wallet users can now add the HyperEVM network with a single click, transfer assets via deBridge, and trade through aggregator routes like LiquidLaunch. The integration also includes a curated zone for HyperEVM-native dApps, reducing onboarding friction and simplifying multi-chain activity—a persistent barrier to DeFi adoption.

Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet, emphasized the move's significance: "Our goal is to simplify access to one of crypto's fastest-growing ecosystems. By integrating HyperEVM end-to-end, we are enabling self-custody users to engage with a high-performance infrastructure covering trading, programmable finance, and cross-chain flows, while preserving the simplicity and security that define our vision." The wallet's support for 130+ blockchains and its $700+ million user protection fund further underscore its role as a bridge between retail users and institutional-grade blockchain ecosystems.

Hyperliquid's ecosystem has seen rapid growth since its 2023 launch, processing over $1.5 trillion in trading volume and amassing $4.85 billion in TVL, according to DefiLlama data. The platform's dual focus on deep liquidity and decentralized governance—anchored by the $HYPE token—has attracted developers and traders seeking alternatives to traditional centralized exchanges. Bitget's integration aligns with broader industry trends toward interoperability, as cross-chain solutions become critical for scaling DeFi adoption.

Upcoming features, including perpetual trading, contract support, and expanded DeFi modules, will further enhance the integration, bringing advanced tools to self-custody users. These developments could position Bitget Wallet as a key gateway for mainstream participation in onchain finance, particularly as Hyperliquid's "Everything Exchange" vision—encompassing trading, lending, staking, and tokenized real-world assets—matures.
