WOO X is excited to announce the launch of our TradFi (Traditional Finance) Perpetual Contracts. You can now gain leveraged exposure to global macro assets—including Commodities, Equities, and Forex indices—directly from your WOO X account, without ever needing to convert your crypto to fiat currency.
By bridging traditional markets with crypto-native infrastructure, WOO X allows you to build a truly hybrid portfolio managed from a single, unified margin wallet.
📈 What are TradFi Perpetual Contracts?
TradFi Perps are synthetic derivative instruments that track the real-time price of traditional financial assets without requiring you to own the underlying stock, barrel of oil, or ounce of gold.
Like our crypto perpetuals, these contracts have no expiry date and are settled entirely in USDT. We use a Funding Rate mechanism to keep the contract price anchored to the underlying asset's spot price on global exchanges.
⚙️ How TradFi Trading Works on WOO X
Trading TradFi assets on our platform utilizes the same intuitive interface you already use for crypto derivatives, with a few specialized parameters tailored for traditional markets:
- Unified Margin: You only need USDT in your Futures wallet to open positions on any TradFi pair. You do not need USD, EUR, or a traditional brokerage account.
- Leverage Limits: TradFi pairs support specialised leverage profiles to match their lower volatility compared to crypto.
- Funding Fee Settlement: TradFi Perps exchange funding fees between longs and shorts every 8/4/1 hours, exactly like crypto perps.
⏱️ Trading Hours & Weekend Gaps
Unlike the 24/7 crypto market, traditional financial markets (like the Nasdaq or Forex desks) close on weekends and public holidays.
How WOO X handles market closures:
- You can open, close, and manage your TradFi positions 24/7/365 on WOO X.
- Weekend Gap Risk: Because the underlying traditional spot market is closed on weekends, the price of the WOO X TradFi Perp may experience significant "Gap Risk" when the underlying traditional market reopens on Monday morning (due to weekend macroeconomic news).
- Funding Continues: Please note that funding fees will continue to accrue and settle every 8, 4 or 1 hour, even during weekends when the underlying traditional markets are closed.
Risk Warning: Trading TradFi perpetual contracts involves significant risk, including forced liquidation and funding costs. Synthetic derivatives are subject to price gaps during periods when underlying global markets are closed. Please ensure you fully understand the mechanics of synthetic assets and manage your margin exposure accordingly. WOO X does not provide financial or investment advice.
