Want to trade Apple, Tesla, and gold at 2am on Sunday, with crypto collateral, no broker required, and up to 50x leverage?

That's exactly what we’ve made possible with the latest addition of stock and commodity perps to our platform

Starting now, you can take long or short positions on the world's most-watched stocks and commodities directly from your BTSE account, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7). 

You're not buying the underlying asset. There are no share certificates, no brokerage accounts, no ACH transfers that take three business days to clear. Instead, you're trading perpetual contracts that track real-time price movements, which means you get the exposure without outdated tradfi infrastructure.

Right now, nine stock perps and one commodity perp (gold) are live. More assets across stocks, commodities, indices, and rates will be added in the coming weeks.

How the Futures Positions Work

The mechanics for stock & commodity perps follow the same core framework as our crypto perps.

When you open a position:

• You post margin as collateral

• Leverage determines your required initial margin.

• Positions are monitored against maintenance margin requirements.

• Liquidation is triggered if your account margin ratio falls below the required threshold.

• Unrealized PnL updates in real time and affects your account equity.
  
  

While the mechanics are aligned with crypto perps, each contract has its own leverage limits and margin requirements. Review the contract specifications before trading.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I use crypto as margin to trade stock & commodity perps?

Yes. Your crypto assets can be used as collateral. 

No conversion to fiat required. Deposit USDT or crypto, move it to your futures wallet, and you're ready to trade.

2. Can I open crypto, stock, and commodity futures positions at the same time?

Yes. You can hold crypto, stock, and commodity futures positions simultaneously, all within the same account. 

There's no need to separate your capital or switch between platforms.

3. If I'm in Cross Margin mode, will all my positions be liquidated if one triggers liquidation?

Yes.

Under Cross Margin mode, all open positions share a unified margin pool.

If your account’s overall margin ratio falls below the required maintenance margin threshold, the liquidation engine will be triggered and all open positions will be closed simultaneously. In such cases, the following may all be subject to liquidation according to the platform’s risk management framework:

• Crypto futures positions

• Stock futures positions

• Commodity futures positions

⚠️ Risk Reminder:
While Cross Margin improves capital efficiency, losses in one market can impact all other positions within the same margin pool. Please manage your leverage and position sizing prudently.
