Pear Protocol Integrates Hyperliquid, Secures $4.1M Strategic Funding for Institutional Expansion

Pear Protocol has launched a native integration with Hyperliquid, enabling seamless pair trading on the latter’s perpetual orderbook, marking a key expansion for the platform [1]. This development coincides with the closure of a $4.1 million strategic funding round led by Castle Island Ventures, with additional participation from Compound VC, Florin Digital, and Sigil Fund. The funding follows Pear Protocol’s reported proximity to $1 billion in total trading volume, driven by over 4,000 traders and beta-phase daily volumes exceeding $5 million [1].

The integration allows traders to execute pair trades—such as HYPE/SOL or custom ETH/BTC combinations—using advanced tools like ratio-based take-profit/stop-loss logic, direct ratio charting, and time-weighted average price (TWAP) execution [1]. Users retain eligibility for Hyperliquid’s Season 3 points and Pear’s HyPear Points, which can be converted into claimable HYPE tokens. The platform emphasizes capital efficiency, mobile accessibility, and risk management features tailored for both retail and institutional participants.

Funds raised will prioritize expanding Pear’s institutional-grade product suite, launching vaults and APIs on HyperEVM, and re-launching its spot token with enhanced liquidity on Hyperliquid’s orderbook. Additional allocations include accelerating user growth, talent acquisition, and long-term sustainability initiatives such as optional protocol buybacks and new revenue streams [1].

Castle Island Ventures’ Wyatt Khosrowshahi praised Pear’s role in building infrastructure for “DeFi-native professionals,” highlighting its combination of deep liquidity, intuitive user experience, and novel execution methods [1]. Pear Protocol’s founder, Huf, described the funding round as a “turning point,” noting the strategic alignment with investors who possess “deep space understanding” and shared long-term vision.

The platform, which integrates with major venues like GMX and SYMMIO, aims to streamline advanced trading strategies while maintaining accessibility. With the Hyperliquid partnership, Pear Protocol strengthens its position as a bridge between decentralized finance and traditional trading practices.
