JAKARTA - Global crypto exchange OKX has launched Equity Perpetual Contracts (Equity Perps), global stock-based derivatives that can be traded 24 hours a day in seven days through a single Unified Account.
The launch is being phased in starting February 25, 2026 and includes a total of 17 stock contracts as well as global ETFs. A number of stocks that are included in the initial phase include Tesla (TSLA), Robinhood (HOOD), and MicroStrategy (MSTR).
The next phase includes Intel (INTC), Amazon (AMZN), Coinbase (COIN), to Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), as well as the Nasdaq-100 ETF (QQQ) and S&P 500 (SPY).
OKX management stated that this product was designed to address the limitations of trading hours in conventional stock markets.
With the perpetual scheme, investors can make transactions without a daily trading time limit.
In addition, the Unified Account feature allows the balance on the Earn service to be used as collateral to open derivative positions without the need to transfer funds between accounts.
The cross-margining system also allows for capital efficiency as all assets in the portfolio can be a common margin.
"With the Unified Account architecture, users can manage all assets in one margin pool and trade global stocks 24/7," said OKX Wallet Regional Growth Manager Ferry.
This gradual launch is aimed at ensuring the optimal formation of liquidity while maintaining the stability of the trading system.
