OKX Launches 24/7 Stock Perpetual Swaps Settled in USDT

The move targets retail traders with limited brokerage access by offering USDT-settled stock exposure through crypto collateral.

Overview

  • OKX introduced more than 20 equity perpetual swap contracts that trade nonstop and settle in USDT, including the full Magnificent 7.
  • The contracts offer up to 5x leverage and are available to users in Asia, the CIS, Latin America, and Türkiye.
  • These swaps are derivatives that track stock prices without granting ownership or voting rights, a setup that researchers say suits momentum-driven retail traders.
  • A unified trading account lets users post BTC, ETH, USDT, and Auto Earn balances as cross-margin while those assets continue to earn yield.
  • The roster includes crypto-linked names like Coinbase, Robinhood, Circle, and Strategy plus tech stocks and an SPY tracker, and OKX describes this as a first phase with more equity and tokenized real-world-asset products planned.
