BitMEX Lists Equity Perps for Microsoft, Google, Palantir, and Broadcom
Cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX announced on Wednesday, March 11, that it is expanding 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.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, the team said this launch introduces 10 new contracts and is accompanied by a global trading campaign offering a 70,000 USDT prize pool.
BitMEX added that 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.
While commenting on this expansion, Stephan Lutz, CEO at BitMEX, said,
“With the expansion of Equity Perps, BitMEX continues to bridge the gap between traditional financial markets and crypto-native trading. These new listings provide traders with more opportunities to access leading global companies while benefiting from the flexibility and efficiency of perpetual derivatives.”
This latest development comes after 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.
BitMEX added that 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 celebrate this expansion, the cryptocurrency exchange 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.
This latest development comes thanks to growing interest among crypto-native traders in gaining exposure to traditional markets through on-chain financial instruments.
BitMEX is the OG crypto derivatives exchange, providing professional crypto traders with a platform that caters to their needs with low latency, deep crypto native and especially BTC liquidity, and unmatched reliability.
Since its founding, no cryptocurrency has been lost through intrusion or hacking, allowing BitMEX users to trade with confidence that their funds are secure and that they have access to the products and tools required to be profitable.
BitMEX was also among the first exchanges to publish on-chain Proof of Reserves and Proof of Liabilities data. The exchange continues to publish this data twice a week, providing assurance that customer funds are safely stored and segregated.
