KuCoin Web3 Wallet Adds TradFi Perps With HIP-3

KuCoin Web3 today announced the integration of Hyperliquid Improvement Proposal 3 (HIP-3) into KuCoin Web3 Wallet, extending its native in-wallet perpetuals (Perps) experience to support a broader range of eligible markets as the ecosystem develops.

With this integration, users can access crypto and other market-linked perpetual products—including categories such as equities, commodities, indices, and FX-linked markets—directly within a single self-custody wallet. The experience combines a mobile-first Web3 environment with a streamlined trading interface, while allowing users to retain control of their assets and private keys.

This update builds on KuCoin Web3 Wallet’s January launch of native in-wallet Perps and marks another step in expanding the product toward a more comprehensive perpetual trading experience within Web3. 

What HIP-3 brings 

HIP-3 is an upgrade within the Hyperliquid ecosystem that makes the creation of new perpetual markets more open.

Under the HIP-3 framework, qualified builders can deploy new perpetual markets through on-chain mechanisms designed to support operational accountability and market standards. With HIP-3 integrated, KuCoin Web3 Wallet can connect to a broader set of eligible perpetual markets as they become available within the ecosystem, while keeping the trading journey within a unified in-wallet interface designed for speed and simplicity.

Expanding beyond crypto-native perpetuals

Through HIP-3 integration, KuCoin Web3 Wallet expands beyond crypto-native perpetuals toward a wider range of market categories. These may include crypto assets, equities, commodities, indices, and foreign exchange–linked markets

As additional eligible markets become available, users will be able to gain derivatives-based price exposure across a broader set of categories from a single self-custody entry point, reducing the need to switch between multiple platforms or fragmented trading workflows.
