How are these different from crypto perps?
These perpetuals reference real-world assets (equities) rather than crypto tokens. Key differences:
Dimension | Crypto Perps | Equity Perps |
Underlying | Crypto assets (BTC, ETH, alts, etc.) | Stocks, ETFs |
Exposure | Crypto price | TradFi price without owning shares |
Trading hours | 24/7 | 24/7 |
Index / mark price | Crypto exchange composite / index | TradFi oracles + peer venue marks |
Data feed bar (CDC listing) | Typically simpler; venue-native | ≥3 sources preferred |
Corporate actions | None | Dividends, splits, M&A, delisting - manual ops & contract changes |
Volatility / gaps | High vol; continuous tape | Overnight/weekend gaps, open/close moves |
Country / compliance | Crypto-specific rules | Country restrictions, TradFi/regulatory constraints |
User disclosure | Standard perp risks | no ownership, no voting |
How are instruments categorized on the platform?
One new market tag, Stocks, is added under the perpetual market:
Stocks: $TSLA, $NVDA, $AAPL, $AMZN, $META, $GOOGL, $MSFT, $NFLX, $ORCL, $CRCL, $COIN, $MSTR, $HOOD, $INTC, $AMD, $PLTR, $DRAM, $TSM, $AVGO, $CBRS, $MU, $SNDK, $EWY
