One account for everything: perps on crypto and equities, collateral from what you hold, earn, and vaults. Settled on-chain, in USDT. Backed by Tether.
wBTC, wETH, SOL, and USDT all count as collateral in one account, with more coming soon. Trade up to 20x on select perps.

USDT counts as collateral in full. wBTC, wETH, and SOL count at their listed rates. One balance carries all four. A deposit in one can back a position in any market.
Cross margin runs the account on one collateral balance. The short opens against that balance, and nothing is sold to open it. The margin requirement is calculated across the account.
A liquidation cancels open orders first. It then reduces the position in increments until the account clears its margin requirement.
Deposits in wBTC, wETH, SOL, and USDT earn a lending APY from the day they land. They keep earning the whole time they back an open position.

Stake into the fund that stands behind the exchange. The fund pays its stakers a share of exchange revenue. Stakers own the fund outright.
With Velocity Earn, lend out your deposit, earn APY, and watch your earning compound automatically. See live borrowing and lending rates.
