PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Oct. 21, 2026 — KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform, has announced an expansion of KuCoin TradFi to give eligible users access to perpetual contracts referencing U.S., Hong Kong and South Korean equities, metals and other commodities. KuCoin TradFi now offers more than 170 perpetual contract pairs across eight categories.

The expansion builds on the introduction of Stock Index Perpetual Contracts in March 2026, through which KuCoin began broadening its range of traditional asset-linked derivatives for eligible users. In the roughly seven months since, the offering has widened from index products to individual equities, ETF-linked contracts and commodities, a trajectory that frames the current rollout as a continuing buildout rather than a one-off addition.

The lineup includes contracts referencing technology and semiconductor companies such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Micron and SanDisk, alongside index- and ETF-linked contracts and contracts referencing commodities including crude oil, natural gas, copper and silver. The expanded selection provides exposure to a range of regional markets and market themes, including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, energy and metals. Perpetual contracts, a format widely used in crypto markets, do not carry a fixed expiry date, and these contracts reference the underlying shares and commodities without conveying ownership of them.

Subject to applicable product terms and eligibility requirements, users can take long or short positions in response to corporate earnings, technology investment and commodity cycles. The contracts are settled in USDT and available for trading 24/7, allowing users to manage positions and react to developments beyond traditional exchange hours through a familiar futures interface. That schedule covers the overnight and weekend windows when regional exchanges are closed, and settlement in USDT means obligations are met in the stablecoin rather than in the referenced assets.

For eligible users at VIP1 and above, KuCoin's Unified Trading Account (UTA) supports TradFi futures trading within a shared framework for funds, margin and risk management, reducing the need for transfers between separate trading accounts. UTA account holders can also use KCUSD as margin for supported TradFi positions while eligible holdings continue earning rewards under applicable product rules, enabling more flexible capital use without first redeeming or converting KCUSD.

The expansion advances KuCoin 5.0's vision of bringing trading, asset management and global market opportunities together on one platform. It also reinforces the "Trust, Built-in." initiative through broader asset choice, unified account management, more flexible margin use and transparent trading mechanisms. KuCoin said it will continue building a more connected platform that gives users greater flexibility, efficiency and control, with access to the current lineup governed by the product terms and eligibility requirements published alongside it.

Details of the expanded offering and the applicable terms and conditions are available on the TradFi Futures Spin campaign page.
