Crypto U.S. stock futures represent an innovative financial derivative that seamlessly combines U.S. listed company stocks with the cryptocurrency market through contract-based trading. Investors can leverage cryptocurrencies such as USDT as margin to trade U.S. stock price movements without the need to hold actual shares.

1. Core Features of MEXC U.S. Stock Futures


1) Trading hours are displayed on the trading page and may vary by contract.

2) The underlying price is pegged to ONDO tokenized stocks and may differ from real-time U.S. stock market prices.

3) Supports standard long and short positions. Leverage ratios vary across different U.S. stock futures contracts as shown on the trading page.

4) Utilizes a perpetual futures trading model that is straightforward to operate and reduces entry barriers for investors.

2. How to Trade U.S. Stock Futures on MEXC


The MEXC U.S. stock futures platform currently offers multiple contracts including COIN, HOOD, NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, META, TSLA, and MCD, with continuous expansion planned to meet diverse trading needs.

MEXC U.S. stock futures utilize the same trading methodology as cryptocurrency perpetual futures, featuring a consistent interface that significantly lowers participation barriers and enhances the overall trading experience.

Simply enter your desired U.S. stock futures symbol in the search box on the futures trading page, or select the Stocks category from the menu to begin trading.



On the MEXC App, access the futures trading page and enter your desired U.S. stock futures symbol in the search box to start trading. For optimal performance, we recommend upgrading to MEXC App version 6.17.0 or higher.


Important Note: U.S. stock futures exclusively support isolated margin mode; cross margin mode is not available.

3. Essential Guidelines for MEXC U.S. Stock Futures Trading


1) Trading Hours and Holidays: Please monitor market opening and closing times, as well as holiday schedules.
  • Winter Hours: UTC+8 Monday 00:00 ~ Saturday 08:30
  • Summer Hours: UTC+8 Monday 00:00 ~ Saturday 07:30
Trading is suspended during holidays and market closures, preventing order placement and position closing.

2) Operations During Market Closure: While markets are closed, you may cancel unfilled orders and add margin, but cannot place new orders or close positions. To mitigate risks from price volatility, consider closing positions before market closure.

3) Funding Fee Notice: U.S. stock futures are currently exempt from funding fees on a temporary promotional basis.

4) Overnight and Gap Risk: Fair prices at market opening may significantly differ from the previous closing price. Holding positions overnight carries elevated risk; please implement appropriate risk management strategies.

5) Leverage Risk Warning: U.S. stock futures support leveraged trading, which amplifies both profits and losses, potentially leading to liquidation or account deficits. Exercise caution when selecting leverage multiples.

6) Corporate Action Handling: Stock prices may experience significant volatility during corporate actions such as dividends, stock splits, or reverse splits. The platform may implement measures, including early settlement or position adjustments, based on market conditions. Stay informed and prepare risk management strategies to avoid unexpected losses from price movements or procedural changes.

Definitions:
1) Ex-Dividend and Ex-Rights: When listed companies distribute profits to shareholders via cash or stock, stock prices are adjusted accordingly on the ex-dividend date.
2) Stock Split: Increases the number of outstanding shares while reducing the price per share, enhancing liquidity and typically signaling management's confidence in future performance.
3) Reverse Stock Split (also known as share consolidation): Decreases the number of outstanding shares while increasing the price per share, commonly employed when stock prices are low to prevent delisting or improve per-share metrics.

4. MEXC U.S. Stock Futures FAQ


4.1 How is the fair price determined?


The fair price is pegged to the ONDO tokenized U.S. stock spot index and may vary from real-time U.S. stock market prices.

4.2 How are funding fees calculated?


U.S. stock futures funding rates are settled every 8 hours, with rates ranging from +3.00% to -3.00%. Settlement is paused during market closures.


4.3 How is profit and loss (PNL) calculated?


U.S. stock futures PNL is calculated based on price differentials (Note: Leverage amplifies PNL; actual results depend on leverage ratio and position size).

Calculation Formula: PNL = (Exit Price - Entry Price) × Contract Multiplier × Number of Shares × Direction (Long = +1, Short = -1)

Examples:

1) Long Position Profit: Purchase 1 share of Apple (AAPL) at $100 (multiplier typically equals 1, representing 1 share), exit at $105.
Total Profit = (105 - 100) × 1 × 1 = $5

2) Short Position Profit: Sell 1 share of Tesla (TSLA) at $200, exit at $195.
Total Profit = (195 - 200) × 1 × 1 × (-1) = $5

4.4 What risk management mechanisms are in place?


MEXC employs a risk management framework aligned with industry-standard perpetual futures practices:
1) Real-time monitoring of position margin ratios;
2) Margin calculations based on fair price;
3) Automatic liquidation triggers when margin ratios reach predetermined thresholds to limit potential losses.
