BitMEX Expands Equity Perps Offering With New U.S. Stock Contracts
Mahe, Saychelles, March 11th, 2026, Chainwire
BitMEX today announced the expansion of its Equity Perps product suite with the addition of new perpetual contracts tied to major U.S. publicly traded companies, including Microsoft, Google, Palantir, and Broadcom. The launch introduces 10 new contracts and is accompanied by a global trading campaign offering a 70,000 USDT prize pool.
The new listings allow crypto traders to gain exposure to prominent U.S. equities while using cryptocurrency as collateral and trading around the clock. The newly available Equity Perps contracts include Broadcom, Google, Intel, JPMorgan, Microsoft, MicroStrategy, Netflix, Oracle, Palantir, and Exxon Mobil.
“With the expansion of Equity Perps, BitMEX continues to bridge the gap between traditional financial markets and crypto-native trading,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO at BitMEX. “These new listings provide traders with more opportunities to access leading global companies while benefiting from the flexibility and efficiency of perpetual derivatives.”
BitMEX launched Equity Perps earlier this year to enable traders to access real-world assets exposure without the need for fiat on-ramps or traditional brokerage accounts. The contracts allow trading with crypto collateral, up to 20x leverage, and 24/7 market access, including weekends and holidays when traditional stock markets are closed.
To mark the expansion, BitMEX has introduced a global trading campaign running until April 12, 2026 at 11:59 PM UTC. The campaign features a total reward pool of 70,000 USDT and is open to verified users worldwide. Participants can earn rewards through three engagement categories:
- Trade to Win: Users who deposit at least 100 USDT and trade more than $10,000 in Equity Perps volume can earn up to 500 USDT in rewards.
- Spread the Word: Users who share the campaign on X can claim 5 USDT in trading credits.
- Learn and Earn: Users who complete a short quiz about Equity Perps can receive 5 USDT in trading credits.
The expansion reflects growing interest among crypto-native traders in gaining exposure to traditional markets through on-chain financial instruments. With the addition of these contracts, BitMEX continues to broaden its range of tradable assets while maintaining a focus on high-liquidity markets and derivatives innovation.
Campaign registration and full details are available here. Additional information about BitMEX Equity Perps can be found on the BitMEX blog.
