OKX Launches Equity Swaps for 24/7 Global Stock Trading

OKX Launches Equity Swaps for 24/7 Access to Global Stock Markets

OKX, a leading global fintech company and crypto trading platform, has announced the launch of equity perpetual swaps. This new feature lets traders in Asia, the CIS region, Latin America, Türkiye, and other eligible markets access major global stocks and indices. Users can trade these assets 24 hours a day by using crypto as margin.

All contracts are USDT-denominated, offer up to 5x leverage, and are available for trading 24/7. This helps users react quickly to earnings reports, global events, and big announcements in real time. It also works even when traditional stock markets are closed. OKX plans to add more contracts in the coming weeks.

The launch includes contracts for the following:

The complete "Magnificent 7": Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN) and Meta (META)

Crypto: MSTR (MicroStrategy), COIN (Coinbase), HOOD (Robinhood), CRCL (Circle)

Technology leaders: PLTR (Palantir), INTC (Intel), MU (Micron Technology), SNDK (SanDisk)

Index trackers: SPY (S&P 500)

With equity perpetual swaps, traders can use BTC, ETH, USDT, and assets enrolled in OKX’s Trading Account Auto Earn as collateral. These assets can still earn yield while being used as margin. This allows traders to use their funds in a better way while trading global equity markets.

"For the past eight years we have focused on building strong systems and deep liquidity for digital asset markets," said Star Xu, OKX Founder and CEO. "With the launch of equity perpetual swaps, we are expanding our system to give users access to global equities while letting them keep their crypto portfolios. This is an important step toward bringing more real world assets onto our platform."

OKX offers true unified cross-margining across crypto and equity perpetual contracts. While some platforms require users to move funds into different accounts and only allow USDT as collateral, OKX lets users use their full portfolio. This includes USDT, BTC, ETH, and even staked assets as margin across all positions in one account. Staked assets continue to earn yield while also supporting active trades.

The launch is the first step of a larger rollout. OKX plans to expand the range of equity contracts, markets, and tokenized real world assets on the platform. More equity products and real world asset options will be introduced in the coming months.
