XMR on Hyperliquid: How to Trade Monero Perps With SecureShift Perp (2026)

What "XMR on Hyperliquid" Actually Means

Most big centralised exchanges have stopped listing Monero spot trading. Binance delisted it in February 2024. That pushed traders toward derivatives. In January 2026, Monero perpetuals went live on Hyperliquid through a permissionless HIP-3 deployment, as XMR hit a $797 all-time high on January 14 (Yellow).

A perpetual ("perp") is a contract that tracks XMR's price with no expiry date. You post USDC as collateral, choose long or short, and profits and losses are paid in USDC. You never hold Monero itself.

Native XMR vs XMR Perp vs Bridged XMR

Use a perp to trade the price. Use native XMR to hold, spend or keep private.

How to Trade XMR Perps on SecureShift Perp

1. Get USDC. Already holding BTC, ETH or USDT? Swap to USDC with no account on SecureShift. Perp collateral on Hyperliquid is USDC.
2. Open perp.secureshift.io and press Connect to link a self-custody wallet. Your keys stay with you.
3. Deposit USDC following the on-screen deposit flow.
4. Search "XMR" in Markets and open the XMR-USDC market. It currently shows up to 10x.
5. Set size and leverage, then go long or short. Use a limit order to control your entry, and set a stop-loss.

Risks You Need to Understand First

• Liquidation. At 10x, a roughly 10% move against you can wipe out your margin. Lower leverage gives you more room.
• Funding payments. Perps charge or pay a periodic funding rate, so holding a position for days has a cost. The market screen shows the estimated rate.
• Thin liquidity. HIP-3 markets can have wider spreads and bigger slippage than BTC or ETH perps, especially in fast moves.
• No privacy. Hyperliquid is a public ledger. Monero's privacy applies only to native XMR in a Monero wallet.
• Not financial advice. Leveraged trading can lose more than you expect. Only risk what you can afford to lose.

Want Real Monero Instead?

If your goal is to own XMR, skip the perp. Swap BTC, ETH or USDT straight to a Monero wallet with no account. Our guide to buying Monero without KYC walks through it.
