BitMEX has launched Equity Perps, allowing 24/7 trading of U.S. stocks and indices using cryptocurrency as collateral with up to 20x leverage. The new derivatives product expands BitMEX’s offering beyond crypto to major equities like Apple, Tesla, and the S&P 500, using cash-settled perpetual swaps without expiry. BitMEX also offers trading incentives, including a USDT prize pool and maker rebates, to promote adoption.
