Leveraged Trading

Bankr supports leveraged trading through two venues — Hyperliquid for perpetual futures on its own high-performance order book, and Avantis on Base for leveraged exposure to equities, commodities, forex, and crypto. Leverage amplifies losses as well as gains, so size positions accordingly.

Hyperliquid (Primary)

High-performance on-chain order book for perpetual futures and spot trading:

  • Perpetual futures — crypto, stocks, commodities

  • Spot trading — HYPE, PURR, and more

  • Position management — leverage, margin, take-profit/stop-loss

  • Order management — limit, modify, cancel

Hyperliquid is its own L1. Funds are bridged via Arbitrum, and deposits auto-detect the best source chain.

"open a 5x long on ETH for $100 on hyperliquid"
"set a take profit at $3,500 on my ETH position"
"close my BTC short"

Avantis (Base)

Leveraged trading on Base for equities, commodities, forex, and crypto pairs — leveraged long/short exposure without owning the underlying token, and no location verification required. Equity pairs include major names like NVDA, TSLA, and AAPL.

"open a 10x long on gold via avantis"
"short EUR/USD with 5x leverage"
"long TSLA with 5x leverage on avantis"

Note: equity perpetuals only trade during the underlying stock market's hours — orders placed while the market is closed will fail.

Prefer owning the stock token itself? Tokenized equities trade on Robinhood Chain, Base, and Solana — see the Tokenized Stocks section of How to Trade.

Bridging to Hyperliquid

Bankr can bridge funds from Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, or Ethereum to Hyperliquid automatically:

"bridge $100 USDC to hyperliquid"
"deposit $50 to hyperliquid from base"

Withdrawing from Hyperliquid

Withdrawals land on Arbitrum within about 3–4 minutes. Arbitrum is always the landing chain — to move funds anywhere else, send a second request once they've arrived.

Hyperliquid charges a 1 USDC bridge fee, and it comes out of the amount you request — ask for $500 and $499 arrives. That means you can request your full withdrawable balance: if $4.81 is withdrawable, request $4.81 and receive $3.81. A withdrawal of $1 or less is refused, since it would deliver nothing.

"withdraw $500 from hyperliquid"

Then, once the $499 has landed on Arbitrum:

"bridge $499 from arbitrum to base"
