We're Launching Equity Perpetual Swaps: 20+ Stocks and Indices, Available Around the Clock
Today, traders across Asia, the CIS region, Latin America, Türkiye and other eligible markets can now access 20+ equity perpetuals covering the world's most widely followed stocks and indices, available 24/7 and margined directly from their crypto portfolio.
Until now, getting equity market exposure from a crypto portfolio typically meant compromise: converting assets, opening separate accounts, or unwinding staked positions just to free up capital. Equity perpetuals are fully integrated into our Unified Trading Account, so the crypto assets in your trading account contribute to margin across spot, derivatives, and equity perpetual positions from a single shared pool, with no transfers required.
Assets enrolled in Trading Account Auto Earn continue generating yield while backing your open positions, so traders don't have to choose between earning and trading, a trade-off many platforms still force. One thing that sets equity perpetual swaps apart from traditional stock trading is that they don't stop when the market does. Stock exchanges and brokerages close on Friday and reopen on Monday. But macro events, earnings signals, and geopolitical developments don't follow that schedule. With equity perps, traders can respond to price-relevant information on a Saturday morning or act on positions after a Sunday news cycle, without waiting for markets to reopen.
Trade the Most Relevant Stocks and Indices
The 23 contracts at launch span the names most traders already watch. All contracts are USDT-denominated with up to 5x leverage:
The Magnificent 7: Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Meta (META)
Crypto and fintech: MicroStrategy (MSTR), Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD), and Circle (CRCL)
Semiconductors: Intel (INTC), AMD, Micron Technology (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM)
Tech and enterprise: Oracle (ORCL), Netflix (NFLX), and Palantir (PLTR)
Indices and ETFs: S&P 500 (SPY), iShares MSCI Japan (EWJ), and iShares MSCI South Korea (EWY)
Everything runs inside your existing account, using the same margin system and collateral pool. There's nothing to set up and no new accounts to open. You can find these markets under Futures, in the Stocks category.
This is the first step in a broader rollout. More contracts, more markets, and a wider range of real-world assets will follow in the coming months. The goal is a single account where your capital, whatever form it's in, can reach any market, any time.
*Assets in your trading account, including those enrolled in Trading Account Auto Earn, can be used as margin for derivatives trading, but assets moved out of your trading account into Simple Earn or On-chain Earn products cannot.
