Polymarket launches perpetual futures with 20x leverage

Polymarket Perps offers up to 20x leverage on crypto, stocks, and more, with deep liquidity and low fees. Available internationally, but not in the U.S. due to regulations.

Polymarket has introduced Polymarket Perps, a perpetual futures trading platform that allows users to trade a wide range of assets—including cryptocurrencies, stocks, commodities, and indices—with leverage of up to 20x. The platform initially supports between 10 and 67 markets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, gold, silver, S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, WTI oil, and SPCX, with some reports suggesting up to 100 trading pairs. Users can take both long and short positions, making the platform suitable for trading around major macroeconomic events like Federal Reserve announcements. Polymarket Perps is accessible internationally in jurisdictions where it is legally permitted, but is not available to U.S. users due to regulatory restrictions. The platform boasts deep liquidity and low fees, with taker fees starting at 0.04% and maker fees at 0.0125%. Early feedback highlights its user-friendly interface and competitive fee structure, which are expected to drive adoption and trading volume as the platform grows.
