What’s new? The decentralized crypto exchange (DEX) PancakeSwap has launched futures contracts linked to major US stock market stocks. Users can now trade synthetic versions of Apple, Amazon, and Tesla securities directly on the blockchain.

Press release

What else is known? The new feature allows users to open long and short positions with leverage using only a non-custodial crypto wallet. Transactions are made on the BNB Chain blockchain and support leverage of up to 25x, with pricing in line with traditional stock markets.

Unlike traditional stock trading, these contracts do not require opening a brokerage account, registration, or storing assets with a third-party custodian.

All activity is conducted entirely on the blockchain, which is another step towards the platform’s hybrid financial models that combine traditional and decentralized assets.

Unlike perpetual cryptocurrency futures, which are traded around the clock, stock futures will be available during US market hours through a new “Stocks” section in the PancakeSwap interface.

Users can adjust the leverage level and choose the direction of trading depending on market sentiment.

Perpetual contracts allow users to speculate on asset price fluctuations without owning the underlying securities. PancakeSwap’s offering tracks stock prices through a decentralized infrastructure, thereby avoiding custodial risks.

At the same time, the exchange team warned that the new derivatives carry significant financial risk. With high leverage, small price fluctuations can lead to significant losses. Before starting to trade, users are advised to understand the mechanisms and risks involved.
