Pear Protocol, the premier pair trading platform in crypto, has officially launched its native integration with Hyperliquid, unlocking seamless pair trading on top of the Hyperliquid perpetual orderbook.

This launch coincides with the closing of a $4.1M strategic funding round led by Castle Island Ventures, with participation from Compound VC, Florin Digital and Sigil Fund. The raise comes as Pear Protocol nears $1BN in trading volume, powering over 4,000 traders with daily volumes in beta already above $5M+.

“Hyperliquid is where the best traders are, and Pear now provides the best way to pair trade on top of that liquidity,” said Huf, Founder of Pear Protocol. “This round marks a turning point – our investors deeply understand the space, and together we’re going full throttle on execution.”

What This Means for Users

With the Hyperliquid integration now live, traders on Pear can enjoy:

Continued eligibility for any Hyperliquid Season 3 points and HyPear Points, converting into claimable $HYPE
One-click entry and exit across both legs of a pair trade
Limit and TWAP execution on the ratio, optimising entry and exits
TP/SL logic based on the ratio for superior risk management
Direct ratio charting, net funding differentials, and custom pair weighting tools

Pear makes advanced strategies simple, mobile-friendly, and capital-efficient – whether you’re trading HYPE/SOL or building custom ETH/BTC trades with beta-weighted logic.

Strategic Use of Funds

The new capital will be deployed to:

Expand Pear’s institutional-grade product suite
Launch vaults and APIs on HyperEVM
Re-launch their spot token with deeper liquidity on Hyperliquid’s Spot Orderbook
Accelerate user growth and talent acquisition
Position Pear for long-term sustainability – including optional protocol buybacks and new revenue lines

This round strategically aligns Pear Protocol with some of the most respected players in crypto venture, each bringing ecosystem reach, product insight, and long-term conviction.
