OKX Launches 20+ Equity Perpetual Swaps for 24/7 Global Stock Trading
On March 24, 2026 OKX launched over 20 equity perpetual swaps, enabling eligible traders in Asia, Latin America, Türkiye and the CIS to trade leading global stocks around the clock using cryptocurrency as collateral. The new products let users gain synthetic exposure to major equities without fiat settlement, and the 24/7 perpetual format mirrors crypto derivatives availability rather than traditional stock hours.
The offering broadens OKX’s derivatives suite and could attract users looking for continuous hedging and diversification via crypto-collateralized instruments. Traders should note region-dependent availability and the usual perpetual risks — leverage, funding rates and regulatory scrutiny — which may influence adoption and future rollouts. Overall, the launch highlights ongoing convergence between crypto markets and traditional equity exposure.
