GBP perpetual futures: GBP-USD
The GBP-USD market is a perpetual futures contract: a derivative that tracks the GBP spot price but never expires. Instead of settling on a fixed date, it holds its peg through a funding payment exchanged between longs and shorts.
Orders rest on Hyperliquid's on-chain central limit order book deployed by the xyz builder dex. Margin is posted in USDC, and position size can be levered up to 50x. Positions are marked against an oracle price aggregated from major venues, not against the last trade, which makes the book far harder to wick.

Frequently asked
What is the GBP perpetual contract?
It is a futures contract on GBP with no expiry date. It tracks the underlying price through a funding payment exchanged between longs and shorts, so the contract price stays close to spot without ever having to settle.
How much leverage can I use on GBP?
Up to 50x on this market. Higher leverage shrinks the distance between your entry and your liquidation price, so the maximum is rarely the right choice.
Who holds my funds while I trade GBP?
You do. Eufrium never takes custody. Orders are signed in your own wallet and margin sits in your Hyperliquid account, which only your keys control.
