Crypto Exchanges Add Traditional Market Perpetual Futures
Crypto exchanges are expanding their offerings beyond traditional derivatives like Bitcoin and altcoin futures. A growing number now provide perpetual futures linked to assets from major companies, ETFs, indices, commodities, and international equities.
The size of each exchange's catalogue varies widely. According to a review, Bitget leads with more than 200 stock and traditional-market underlyings. Bybit, MEXC, KuCoin, and LBank follow with catalogues of more than 100 stock-linked or broader TradFi contracts.
The top five crypto exchanges for stock perpetual futures are Bitget, Bybit, MEXC, KuCoin, and LBank. The number of listed contracts is only one part of the trading experience; users should also compare liquidity, spreads, leverage, funding rates, fees, trading hours, pricing methods, and margin options.
Bitget stands out for both selection and trading infrastructure. In addition to offering the largest reported catalogue, Bitget provides 24/7 Stock Perps trading, up to 100x leverage on selected contracts, multi-provider pricing, centralized order books, bots, copy trading, API access, and flexible margin tools.
