Introducing Equity Perpetual Contracts on Crypto.com Exchange

Crypto.com Exchange has introduced Equity Perpetual Contracts, a new derivatives product that lets traders take leveraged positions on leading global equities without an expiry date. The launch expands the platform's multi-asset offering, enabling users to trade stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and indices from a single account.

The equity perpetuals track the price of underlying shares and support up to 10x leverage for both long and short positions. Eligible assets include prominent US companies such as Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Netflix (NFLX), Oracle (ORCL), and others like Coinbase Global (COIN), MicroStrategy (MSTR), Robinhood Markets (HOOD), Intel (INTC), AMD (AMD), Palantir Technologies (PLTR), and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM). The list also features exchange-traded products such as the Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) and the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY).

Key Features and Trading Mechanics

Equity perpetuals provide continuous trading access, with pricing that references underlying equity market sessions including pre-market, regular hours, after-hours, overnight, and weekend periods. During off-market hours, index prices transition to controlled mechanisms designed to maintain stability. Funding rates may fluctuate more widely outside the primary trading hours of the underlying stock.

Margin and risk controls follow the exchange's existing derivatives framework. Leverage is capped at 10x, with parameters set per instrument and subject to jurisdictional restrictions. Non-retail participants may access dedicated account configurations where permitted. Positions appear alongside other derivatives in the portfolio and order history, allowing consolidated risk management.

The exchange highlights that equity perpetuals are designed for traders seeking capital-efficient exposure to global companies, positioning around earnings releases or sector momentum, and diversifying macro strategies across multiple asset classes. Funding is settled periodically with defined mark price logic and pricing controls.
