What Stock Futures are and what you can do with them
- USDT settled: Instead of paying with traditional money, traders use a stablecoin called USDT. A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency designed to have a stable price, usually tied to a real world asset like the U.S. dollar. In short, you trade using USDT and get profits or losses settled in USDT. For more on USDT, you can read about Tether, a popular stablecoin.
- Perpetual contracts: These are futures contracts that do not have a fixed end date. You can hold them for as long as you want, unlike some traditional futures that have a delivery date. There is still a price that is calculated over time and profits or losses are settled on a regular basis.
- Stock futures: These are contracts based on the price of stocks. If the stock price goes up, a trader who bought a long position could make money. If the stock price goes down, a trader who sold or went short could benefit.
- Long and Short positions: A long position means you are betting that the price will rise. A short position means you are betting that the price will fall. Both are possible with these stock futures.
In practical terms, the stock futures let traders react quickly to changes in stock prices, even when traditional markets are closed. The system is designed for 24/7 trading, which means you can trade every day of the week, including weekends and holidays. This is a big change from regular stock markets that have set hours.
Toobit’s Chief Communication Officer, Mike Williams, spoke about the goal of this new feature. He said that the company wants to give traders a comprehensive set of trading tools. He explained that by turning stock indexes into perpetual contracts, Toobit helps people who are not on Wall Street. The idea is to remove geographical and operational barriers. In simple terms, people anywhere in the world can trade the world’s most influential companies using USDT. This makes it easier for people who might not have access to a traditional brokerage account.
Why this move matters for real world assets and tokenization
Toobit is not stopping at just adding stocks. The exchange is stepping into what some call real world assets or RWAs. RWAs are traditional assets like real estate, stocks or bonds that are represented on a digital system. Toobit is calling this a TradFi, or traditional finance, move.
There is growing demand for RWAs derivatives. In 2026, tokenized RWAs have become an important market driver. On-chain value — that is value recorded on a blockchain — has risen quickly. It has surpassed 21 billion dollars and grows at about 232 percent each year. Right now, about three quarters of global companies plan to use tokenized assets in some way. Equity derivatives — contracts based on stock prices — are becoming a popular choice for traders who want 24/7 access and better use of their capital.
Tokenization means turning ownership rights to real assets into digital tokens on a blockchain. In simple language, you can own a piece of a real asset as a digital token. The idea is to make it easier to buy, sell and move these assets. If you want to know more, tokenization is explained in detail at the Wikipedia page about tokenization.
The stock futures are now available in the TradFi tab under the Futures section on both the Toobit mobile app and the Toobit web version. This is a central place that combines all traditional assets. It brings together foreign exchange markets and precious metals like gold and silver — EUR, XAU, and XAG — with crypto and other markets. In other words, traders can find many different markets in one place.
A big reward to celebrate the launch
Toobit has announced a major reward campaign to support the new feature. The campaign starts on February 2 and runs until February 28, 2026. In total, 200,000 USDT will be given in rewards. The structure has several parts.
- New trader rewards: 50,000 USDT are set aside to reward people who are new to Toobit. This is to help them start trading with less risk.
- First trade protection fund: This fund can cover up to 100% of losses for newcomers on their first trade. It is a safety net to encourage people to try trading with stock futures.
- Trading challenge: A competition for top traders. The best performers in both spot trading and futures trading can share a prize pool of 100,000 USDT. In other words, skilled traders can win more money if they do well in the challenge.
These rewards show that Toobit wants to help traders learn and grow their skills. They also want to attract more people to use the new stock futures feature.
How to access the new Stock Futures
Traders can access the new Stock Futures in the TradFi tab within the Futures section. This is available on both the Toobit mobile app and the web platform. The new feature sits in a larger hub that combines different kinds of assets. This makes it easier for traders to switch between markets without leaving the platform.
The goal is to give people a single place to manage different kinds of investments. It includes forex and precious metals like the euro currency, gold and silver, alongside the new stock futures. By placing these together in one environment, Toobit hopes to improve ease of use and efficiency for traders who want to diversify their portfolios.
