Zoomex is running a second round of its Stock Perpetuals Competition, an event that lets traders speculate on U.S. mega-cap stocks through crypto-style perpetual contracts. The platform, which launched in 2021, is using the competition to push its hybrid offering: NVDA, AAPL, and TSLA perpetuals settled in USDT, with up to 25x leverage and the ability to go long or short. It's a bet that crypto traders want equity exposure without leaving their wallets.
What the competition offers
The event gives participants round-the-clock access to U.S. equity markets, even when traditional exchanges are closed. Trading is bi-directional, so you can short a stock that's falling just as easily as you can ride one that's climbing. The competition itself includes a dynamic prize pool, trading volume "blind boxes" that unlock milestone rewards, and a real-time leaderboard that refreshes every five minutes.
That leaderboard is the centerpiece for anyone chasing a payout. It's transparent and updated frequently enough that positions can shift quickly, which tends to keep the competition lively.
Why the platform matters
Zoomex isn't the only exchange pushing stock perpetuals, but it's leaning hard on the technical side. The platform says its high-concurrency matching engine handles heavy traffic without stalling, and an anti-wick oracle system is designed to stop price manipulation and unfair liquidations. For traders who've been burned by fake price spikes on other venues, that's a concrete selling point.
There's also the onboarding friction angle. Zoomex skips the traditional brokerage paperwork, so getting into an equity position is as fast as any crypto trade.
A growing user base
Since its founding in 2021, Zoomex has signed up more than 3 million users across 35 countries. It holds Hacken security audits and publishes Proof of Reserves, which is standard fare these days but still worth noting for a platform handling margin positions. The company has also inked partnerships with the Haas F1 Team, goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, and elite tennis tournaments — the kind of sponsorships that suggest a real marketing budget.
The competition is open now, and the leaderboard updates every five minutes. With milestone rewards tied to trading volume, participants will be watching the board closely as Round 2 unfolds.
