1. What are Equity Perps?
Equity Perps are cash-settled perpetual contracts that allow you to speculate on the price movements of real world assets like US stocks and indices. They are derivative products that closely track the underlying asset’s price through a funding rate mechanism, but unlike traditional futures, they never expire, giving you continuous 24/7 exposure to global equities.
2. What is the difference between Equity Perps vs Buying Stocks (Spot)
When you buy a stock in traditional markets:
You own a piece of the company
You may get voting rights and dividends
You’re usually limited to market hours (e.g., 9:30–16:00)
When you trade an Equity Perp:
You don’t own the stock – you just trade its price
You don’t get shareholder rights (no votes, no AGMs)
You can often trade 24/7 on a crypto derivatives exchange
3. Can I trade during the weekend or when the US market is closed?
Absolutely. Our Equity Perps are designed to run 24/7/365, unconstrained by TradFi trading hours. Outside of trading hours, the index price is reliably maintained by integrating tokenised spot prices and data feeds from industry leaders like Pyth and Chainlink.
4. How does the funding rate work for Equity Perps?
The funding rate is a mechanism used to keep the contract price anchored to the underlying spot price and is calculated every 8 hours. Traders who are Long (Buy) or Short (Sell) will periodically pay or receive a small fee, which incentivises the perpetual price to stay close to the actual stock price.
