PowerTrade, the leading altcoin options exchange, together with its decentralized counterpart PowerDEX, today announced the upcoming launch of the world’s first options trading on tokenized stocks (“xStocks”). Launching next week, this first-of-its-kind offering will debut with options on TSLAx and HOODx – tokenized representations of Tesla, Inc. and Robinhood Markets, Inc.
By introducing options on xStocks, PowerTrade is pioneering a deeper fusion of traditional stock and crypto markets. Traders will be able to hedge, speculate, and generate income on tokenized stocks just as they do with crypto options or traditional stock options. All xStocks option contracts will trade 24/7 alongside their underlying token markets with settlements in USD Coin (USDC). Clients can trade seamlessly using USDC, BTC, ETH and other supported crypto assets as margin collateral.
“This is a watershed moment for both the crypto and traditional trading communities,” said Mario Gomez Lozada, Founder & CEO of PowerTrade. “We’re not just tokenizing stocks – we’re introducing an entirely new market for tokenized stock derivatives that operates beyond the limits of Wall Street’s hours. By offering options on xStocks across our CEX and DEX, we’re empowering traders to access and hedge U.S. tokenized stock exposure 24/7, from anywhere in the world. It’s a game-changer that demonstrates how DeFi and CeFi can together disrupt the status quo in finance.”
