Catenaa, Tuesday, September 15, 2026-Crypto derivatives exchange Zoomex is highlighting its stock perpetual contracts following a volatile week across US equities, bonds and oil markets that created sharp moves in several widely traded assets.
The company said its stock-linked perpetual products allow traders to take leveraged long or short positions on shares including Tesla and Lululemon without owning the underlying stock.
Zoomex tied the renewed focus on the products to several market events, including stronger-than-expected US employment growth, rising Treasury yields and elevated oil prices.
The US economy added 162,000 jobs in August, well above economists’ expectations cited by Zoomex.
The report prompted traders to reassess expectations for Federal Reserve policy as concerns returned that resilient employment and inflation pressures could keep interest rates higher.
The yield on the 10-year US Treasury moved above 4.78% during the period, adding pressure to broader financial markets.
Oil prices also remained above $90 a barrel as tensions in the Middle East kept energy supply risks in focus.
Higher crude prices can feed into inflation expectations and affect expectations for monetary policy, creating knock-on effects across equities, currencies and digital assets.
Zoomex said these macroeconomic movements show how traditional markets increasingly influence trading conditions across crypto derivatives.
The exchange offers bitcoin and ether perpetual contracts alongside a growing range of products linked to traditional assets.
Stock perpetuals allow users to gain price exposure to listed companies while using the mechanics familiar to crypto derivatives traders.
Unlike conventional shares, perpetual contracts do not give traders ownership of the underlying company.
They are derivatives designed to track an asset’s price and have no fixed expiration date.
Leverage also means gains and losses can be amplified, while adverse price movements can trigger liquidation.
Zoomex highlighted Tesla as one recent example of the volatility available through its stock-linked contracts.
Tesla shares fell about 6% following news of a US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation involving certification of the company’s Cybercab autonomous vehicle.
Zoomex users can trade contracts linked to Tesla shares through the exchange rather than opening a conventional securities brokerage account.
The platform also lists stock-linked products tied to companies including Nvidia and Apple, according to Zoomex.
Its product range includes more than 700 trading pairs spanning cryptocurrencies and other market-linked instruments.
The expansion of stock perpetuals reflects a wider trend among crypto exchanges seeking to bring traditional financial markets into crypto-native trading environments.
Bybit, for example, has expanded its TradFi perpetual range to equities, commodities and ETFs and this week introduced contracts tracking major foreign-exchange pairs.
Such products allow traders to maintain crypto collateral while taking positions linked to markets outside cryptocurrency.
The model could appeal to users who already hold stablecoins or other digital assets and want exposure to equities without transferring funds between separate platforms.
It also changes the risk profile of crypto exchanges.
Stock-linked derivatives can respond to corporate earnings, regulatory action, economic data and events occurring when traditional exchanges are closed.
Perpetual products may continue trading outside normal stock-market hours, depending on the platform.
That creates opportunities to react quickly to news but can also produce pricing differences when the underlying cash market is closed.
Zoomex is positioning its derivatives focus as a central part of its strategy rather than building a broad range of unrelated financial products.
The exchange says its trading system emphasizes transparent asset balances, order information, fees and execution rules.
Zoomex was founded in 2021 and says it serves more than 3 million users across more than 35 countries and regions.
The platform focuses mainly on derivatives and does not issue its own exchange token.
Zoomex also says it maintains regulatory registrations or statuses in several jurisdictions and has undergone security audits by blockchain security firm Hacken.
The company has expanded its profile through sports partnerships, including the TGR Haas Formula One team and Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez.
Its latest campaign, however, centers on the increasing overlap between crypto derivatives and conventional markets.
US employment figures, oil prices, Treasury yields and company-specific events can increasingly create trading opportunities across both asset classes.
For exchanges such as Zoomex, stock perpetuals offer a way to keep users inside a crypto trading environment while extending exposure beyond bitcoin and other digital assets.
The same structure comes with added risk because traders are combining leveraged derivatives with assets affected by different trading hours, liquidity conditions and regulatory systems.
Zoomex said users should understand the mechanics of derivatives before trading such products.
The latest market volatility gives the exchange a chance to promote that offering as crypto platforms compete to become gateways not only to digital assets but to a broader range of global markets.
