Real-World AssetAbout Gold Perpetuals on Hyperliquid
Gold has been the ultimate safe-haven asset for centuries — and now it trades on-chain as a perpetual market accessible through a Connected Protocol. These perpetual markets use a funding mechanism rather than an overnight swap fee. Per-order maker/taker fees are charged by the Connected Protocol, not by ARX.
ARX gives you a clean interface to view GOLD market data and transmit your own order to a Connected Protocol. Leverage of up to 50x, where available, is offered by the Connected Protocol, not by ARX. Leverage can result in the rapid and total loss of any amount deployed. Your funds stay in self-custody. Markets are open 24/7, including weekends when traditional gold futures are closed.
With gold hitting all-time highs above $5,500 in 2026, driven by geopolitical uncertainty and central bank buying, on-chain gold perps offer traders a new way to express macro views without the friction of traditional markets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are gold perpetual contracts?
Gold perpetuals are perpetual markets that track the price of gold (XAUUSD) without an expiry date. Unlike futures, you never need to roll your position. Funding rates keep the contract price aligned with spot gold.
How do on-chain gold markets differ from traditional markets?
Three key differences: (1) zero overnight fees vs traditional overnight swap costs, (2) fully transparent on-chain order book, and (3) self-custody — your funds are never held by ARX and ARX does not execute or settle orders.
What leverage is available for gold perpetual markets?
Hyperliquid offers up to 50x leverage on gold perpetuals. You can adjust your leverage per position. Higher leverage means higher risk — leverage magnifies both gains and losses and can result in the rapid and total loss of any amount deployed.
