BeaconStock Perps - Bringing Equities to Kripto
Stock kontrak perpetual are derivatif contracts that let you speculate on the price of publicly tradingd stocks - like Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, and Amazon - directly from a kripto wallet. Unlike traditional stock trading through a brokerage, stock perps trading on bursa terdesentralisasi like Hyperliquid with no expiry date, no KYC requirements, and no market hours restrictions.
The concept is simple: a perpetual futures contract tracks the price of an underlying asset using oracle price feeds. For stock perps, the oracle pulls real-time pricing data from traditional equity markets. A funding rate mechanism ensures the perpetual contract price stays aligned with the actual stock price over time.
Stock perps have exploded in popularity because they bridge two worlds: the massive equity markets worth over $100 trillion, and the permissionless, always-on infrastructure of kripto. Tradingr no longer need to choose between the two - they can trading both from the same wallet, on the same platform, using the same jaminan.
How Stock Perps Work on Hyperliquid via HIP-3
Hyperliquid is the leading bursa terdesentralisasi for stock kontrak perpetual. Stock perps are listed through HIP-3, a permissionless listing standard that allows anyone to propose new perpetual markets. Each stock perp market requires an oracle price feed - typically from Pyth Network - that reports the real-time stock price to the Hyperliquid L1 chain.
Multiple deployers can list markets for the same stock, which is why you may see tickers like xyz:NVDA, flx:NVDA, and km:NVDA. Each represents a separate market for Nvidia stock perps, potentially with different liquidity and trading volumes. Beacon aggregates these markets and routes you to the most liquid option for the best execution.
Trading works like any other perpetual futures market. You deposit USDC as margin collateral, select the stock you want to trade, choose your leverage level (up to 20x for most stocks), and place your order. The entire process is on-chain, self-custodial, and settles instantly on Hyperliquid L1.
Tingkat pendanaan for Stock Kontrak perpetual
Tingkat pendanaan are the mechanism that keeps stock perp prices aligned with real stock prices. Every 8 hours on Hyperliquid, funding payments are bursad between long and short tradingr. When the perp tradings above the stock price, pihak long membayar pihak short (positive funding). When it tradings below, pihak short membayar pihak long (negative funding).
Stock perps have a unique characteristic compared to kripto perps: during traditional market hours (when NYSE and NASDAQ are open), the oracle price updates in real time and funding dynamics behave normally. Outside market hours - evenings, weekends, and holidays - the oracle price remains fixed at the last closing price. This can lead to interesting tingkat pendanaan dynamics, especially around earnings announcements and major news events.
Traders should factor funding costs into their strategy, especially for longer-term positions. You can use our funding rate calculator to estimate costs before entering a trade.

Risks of Stock Kontrak perpetual
Stock perps carry the same risks as other leveraged perpetual futures. Leverage amplifies both profits and losses - a 20x leveraged position only needs a 5% adverse move to be liquidated. Always use proper risk management and consider starting with lower leverage.
Liquidity is another consideration. While major stocks like NVDA and TSLA have deep order books, less popular stock perps may have wider spreads and lower volume. Check the market data before trading to ensure adequate liquidity for your position size.
Finally, stock perps are synthetic instruments. They do not confer stock ownership, voting rights, or dividend payments. Regulatory landscapes around synthetic equity derivatif are evolving, and tradingr should stay informed about the legal considerations in their jurisdiction.
