PowerTrade has announced the launch of the world’s first options trading on tokenized stocks, known as xStocks marking a major leap in bridging traditional equities with the crypto derivatives ecosystem.
Developed in partnership with its decentralized exchange counterpart PowerDEX, the platform will debut next week with options on TSLAx and HOODx, tokenized representations of Tesla and Robinhood shares, respectively.
These contracts will trade 24/7 and settle in USD Coin (USDC), offering traders the ability to hedge or speculate on equity-based assets within a crypto-native environment. Users can post margin in USDC, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other supported cryptocurrencies, making the product highly accessible across the digital asset space.
To maximize accessibility, PowerTrade is launching xStocks options across both its centralized and decentralized platforms. This enables shared liquidity and seamless execution between PowerTrade and PowerDEX. Traders can connect through more than 400 wallets without KYC requirements, retaining full asset custody and eliminating reliance on traditional brokers or intermediaries.
This move also builds on PowerTrade’s established reputation for crypto derivatives innovation. It follows recent product expansions including ultra-short-term options with expiries as brief as 10 minutes and support for over 80 altcoin markets on Solana. Now, the company is further expanding its infrastructure with the launch of the first-ever Altcoin Options Analytics Platform.
