Bitstamp by Robinhood announces general launch for crypto perpetual futures for institutional and retail investors

Bitstamp by Robinhood has officially launched crypto perpetual futures on its web platform for institutional and retail investors. This addition provides eligible EU traders with a regulated environment to trade on crypto asset price movements, allowing you to go long or short without requiring ownership of the underlying assets.

Unlike traditional futures contracts, perpetual futures do not have an expiration date. This allows traders to maintain long or short positions indefinitely, provided they meet the necessary margin requirements.

BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, XRP, SUI, ADA, AVAX, LINK, and HYPE are immediately available to trade on the web-based application, with other assets coming soon.

Built with clarity and control

The platform is structured to prioritize transparency and risk management, distinguishing it from other derivatives platforms.

• EU-regulated framework: This offering operates under the MiFID II regulatory framework. By providing these products within a licensed environment, Bitstamp by Robinhood adheres to strict established compliance standards.
• Capped leverage: To support disciplined trading, leverage is currently limited to a maximum of 10x. This cap is designed to mitigate the volatility and rapid liquidation risks
• Execution and liquidity: The trading infrastructure employs institutional-grade technology to ensure reliable execution speeds and support deep liquidity, all while being governed by a structured, transparent liquidation process.
  

Expanding access to crypto markets

The launch of perpetual futures is an extension of Bitstamp by Robinhood’s efforts to increase the availability of professional trading tools for European investors. The focus remains on providing accessible, flexible instruments within a stable and regulated financial ecosystem.
