Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 23rd, 2025
Blum, the leading crypto ecosystem built in Telegram, today announced the launch of its new Perpetual Futures (Perps) feature, giving more than 95 million users direct access to one of crypto’s most powerful trading tools – all without leaving Telegram.
Backed by Binance Labs, Blum is among the first mini-apps to integrate a full perpetual futures experience directly into Telegram’s ecosystem. Users can now go long or short on 20 leading assets – including BTC, ETH, $BLUM, and TON – apply leverage, and manage risk with stop-loss and take-profit orders, all through a fast and intuitive flow that mirrors Telegram’s native UX.
The platform continues to emphasise transparency at every level, with public tokenomics, reward updates, and ongoing communication shared through blogs, AMAs and in-app channels.
Strengthening Blum’s Web3 Trading Ecosystem
Perpetual futures – or perps – are among the most widely used instruments in crypto markets. Unlike traditional futures, they have no expiry date, giving traders the flexibility to hold positions for minutes or months. With perps, users can profit in both rising and falling markets, apply leverage to increase exposure, and deploy strategies ranging from scalping to long-term hedging.
Historically, perps have been confined to centralised exchanges and complex apps. Blum removes those barriers by embedding perpetual trading directly inside its Telegram mini-app – enabling one-tap access with no downloads, seed phrases, or browser extensions required.
Built on Proven Momentum
The launch of Perps builds on a period of rapid growth and product expansion for Blum:
95M+ users onboarded in just over a year
$270M+ in trading volume across Blum’s Memepad and bot
700,000+ daily traders on the Blum Telegram bot
$BLUM token listed on Bitget, Binance Alpha, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate.io and HTX within months of launch
Recognised by Cointelegraph as one of the most important Telegram-based crypto projects, Blum’s roadmap now includes Perps, listings on Binance Alpha, and partnerships with Paybis, Aeon, and Alchemy Pay to expand utility across payments and emerging markets.
Blum is also investing in education, publishing clear guides to Perps, strategy playbooks, and simple explainers to support Telegram-native users in building confidence and capability.
Building the Future of Telegram-Native Finance
Blum’s Perps launch strengthens its positioning as the leading crypto trading platform built for Telegram. With deep integration into the TON blockchain, it is transforming Telegram from a messaging app into a global trading platform – one where emerging markets, new entrants, and seasoned traders alike can access professional-grade tools with just a tap.
Last week Blum also announced that its native token, $BLUM, is now listed on Binance Alpha. The move gives millions of Binance Wallet users direct discovery and access to $BLUM, while adding new liquidity venues through BNB Chain and PancakeSwap. To support this expansion, Blum has allocated 75 million $BLUM from its Ecosystem Growth Fund to kick-start liquidity provision on BNB Chain.
ABOUT BLUM
Blum is building the future of crypto trading – right inside Telegram. Founded by former leaders from Binance, Trust Wallet, and Red Bull, and backed by Binance Labs, Blum has grown to more than 95 million users and $270 million in trading volume in just over a year. The platform was the first to fully embrace Telegram’s mini-app framework, making advanced trading tools accessible to anyone, anywhere – without downloads, seed phrases, or complex onboarding.
Blum’s mission is to redefine how trading works: faster, simpler, and more transparent. Its product ecosystem already includes a Telegram-native trading bot, viral Memepad token launchpad, and an advanced trading terminal, now joined by perpetual futures. The roadmap also features staking, wallets, token launch tools, and integrations with payment partners including Paybis, Aeon, and Alchemy Pay – expanding access and utility for users across LATAM, SEA, CIS, Turkey, and other high-growth regions.
Every day more than 700,000 users trade via Blum’s Telegram bot, attracted by its one-tap execution, frictionless UX, and native support for the TON blockchain. The platform combines the speed of a centralised exchange with the transparency and security of on-chain execution, using MPC wallet technology and built-in Sybil detection to protect users.
Recognised by Cointelegraph as one of the top Telegram-based projects, Blum is trusted by its community, transparent in its product design and economics, and transformative in its ambition: to turn Telegram from a messaging app into a global trading layer for the next generation of crypto users.
