edgeX V2 Rollout Begins with Spot Market and Stock Perpetuals

In early February 2026, edgeX began the rollout of its V2 platform, significantly expanding beyond the original perpDEX model to support permissionless markets, U.S. stock perpetual futures, and prediction market products.

V2 Feature Set

The V2 upgrade transforms edgeX from a pure perpetual exchange into a comprehensive trading platform:

• Spot markets — direct token trading alongside perpetuals
• Stock perpetuals — U.S. equity futures (AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, and more)
• Prediction markets — binary outcome contracts for events
• Permissionless market creation — anyone can propose and launch new markets

Stock Perpetuals

The stock perpetual product allows traders to gain exposure to U.S. equities without traditional brokerage accounts:

• 24/7 trading (not restricted to U.S. market hours)
• Crypto-settled (no need for USD)
• Up to 20x leverage on major stocks
• Oracle-based pricing from multiple data providers

Permissionless Markets

One of V2's most innovative features is the ability for users to create custom markets. This opens the door to long-tail assets that centralized exchanges don't list.

Growth Impact

edgeX has already demonstrated strong traction, processing $4-5 billion in daily perpetual volume. The V2 expansion is expected to significantly increase this figure by attracting traders from adjacent markets.
