Your traders already watch the biggest equities — they just trade them somewhere else.
Stock perpetual futures change that: 24/7 equity exposure, stablecoin-margined, on the venue they already fund.
For operators, it’s the rare product launch that expands addressable volume per existing user rather than demanding new acquisition — and with BTSE Enterprise Solutions, it ships as a platform module, not an engineering program.
What Your Exchange Gains
A second asset class on your existing rails. Equity perps trade in your current perp interface, margin from the same stablecoin collateral, and clear through the same risk engine your users already trust. No new wallets, no new onboarding — a new board of markets.
Volume tied to the world’s news cycle. Earnings nights, index events, macro prints — your markets stay active when crypto is quiet, and your venue captures the reaction while traditional markets are closed. Weekend gaps become tradable events instead of dead time.
Differentiation that’s hard to copy. Most white label venues list the same crypto pairs against the same competitors. Equity perps separate your venue on the axis traders actually compare: what can I trade here that I can’t trade there? (It’s also a natural pairing with automated strategies — AI and copy-trading products get an entirely new strategy universe.)
What’s Actually Hard (and What the Module Includes)
Equity perps are unforgiving to build, which is precisely the white label argument:
Reference pricing: robust index construction from equity market data, with defined behavior for market-closed hours, halts, and corporate actions (splits, dividends adjust the index — your users’ funding shouldn’t be a surprise).
Funding engine: transparent funding-rate calculation and settlement keeping perps anchored to the underlying across sessions.
Risk and liquidation systems tuned for equities: instruments that gap on earnings need margin tiers, circuit-breaker logic, and liquidation waterfalls calibrated differently from BTC — plus insurance-fund mechanics.
Liquidity from day one: empty equity books are worse than none; the module launches with market-making arrangements and shared-network depth, the same day-one liquidity principle as the core exchange.
Per-jurisdiction availability controls: equity-linked derivatives are regulated products almost everywhere. The module ships with entity- and geography-level switches, KYC-tier gating, and the audit trail to prove enforcement — consistent with the modular compliance layer across our platform.
How Launch Works
Scope: underlyings and indices for your market, leverage tiers, and the jurisdictions where you’ll enable the product.
Configure: markets, margin parameters, fees, and geo/KYC gating set per entity — configuration, not code.
Launch: equity perps appear in your existing derivatives interface, with market data, funding schedules, and risk telemetry in your admin console — typically weeks, on the same deployment cadence as the rest of the platform.
The Operator Math
One venue, two asset classes, one collateral pool: higher volume per funded user, longer session times, and fee revenue attached to equity volatility cycles that don’t correlate with crypto’s — a smoother revenue curve across market regimes.
Pair it with the derivatives economics you already run (maker-taker spreads on notional, funding flows) and stock perps typically become a top-three product line where offered.
Ready When You Are
Stock perpetual futures are available as a module of BTSE Enterprise Solutions’ white label exchange — the same infrastructure behind a global top-20 venue and nationally licensed exchanges, now with equities on the board. If your license permits it (or you’re choosing a jurisdiction with that goal — start with our licensing content hub), the product is a configuration away.

Can my exchange offer stock perpetual futures?
Potentially, but only where your venue, entity, product design, and client segmentation meet the applicable securities and derivatives rules. Operators should validate licensing, permitted markets, leverage limits, and retail eligibility with qualified counsel before enabling the product.
How long does it take to add equity perps?
With a white label module, implementation is typically measured in weeks rather than a full in-house derivatives build. The timetable depends on market scope, reference pricing, liquidity setup, risk parameters, jurisdictional controls, and approval processes.
