Justin Sun-backed Crypto Exchange HTX Launches US Stock Futures Trading With USDT

HTX, a crypto exchange backed by Justin Sun, has started offering tokenized stock derivatives by launching US stock futures trading on its TradFi Zone platform. Users can now trade perpetual contracts tied to major US stocks like Tesla and NVIDIA using USDT as collateral.

HTX said users can now trade stock-linked perpetual contracts 24/7. Traders can take both long and short positions, similar to how crypto derivatives markets work.

HTX started its TradFi expansion earlier this year with commodity-linked contracts for gold, silver, platinum, and crude oil. The new stock futures feature further blends traditional finance with crypto trading.

HTX has also added pre-IPO exposure to companies like OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic. This shows how crypto exchanges are experimenting more with synthetic versions of traditional assets.

However, these products do not give users ownership of the actual shares. Users only get price exposure through perpetual contracts and do not receive voting rights or dividends.

This move is part of a wider industry trend. Other exchanges like Binance and Coinbase have also launched similar stock-linked perpetual products recently.

The growth of tokenized stock trading is raising regulatory questions worldwide. Many of these products are still not available to US users due to unclear rules about leveraged synthetic equity exposure on crypto platforms.

For HTX, this expansion is part of a broader plan to boost derivatives trading and attract users who want 24/7 access to global markets without using traditional brokers.
