StableStock announced today the official launch of its leveraged spot trading feature. Users can now directly use stablecoins to conduct leveraged spot trading on global market instruments, using stablecoins as an entry point to seamlessly access real stock markets.Leveraged spot trading supports zero interest for intraday trading: Positions opened and closed before the end of the day's post-market trading session incur no interest; only positions held overnight are subject to interest according to the rules. For active intraday and short-term traders, this mechanism reduces the implicit cost of holding positions.This launch covers major global markets, with over 700 instruments available for leveraged trading, offering a maximum leverage of approximately 10x. These include high-profile stocks recently watched by the market, such as SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, Zhipu, and a large number of popular US stocks. In addition to individual stocks, the list also includes several bear (inverse) ETFs, providing users with options for both long and short positions.StableStock CEO Zixi stated: "Leveraged spot trading further bridges stablecoin settlement with real stock markets, allowing users to participate in global markets with lower holding costs and greater flexibility. This is another step for stablecoins moving from settlement tools to becoming the entry point for real asset trading."Before using the leverage function, users must complete identity verification (KYC) and transfer funds to their leverage account. Specific mechanisms such as interest calculation and forced liquidation are subject to the prompts on the product page. Leverage trading can amplify both gains and losses, and users should use it prudently based on their own risk tolerance.StableStock is supported by institutions such as YZi Labs, MPCi (Matrix Partners China), and Vertex Ventures, providing a global capital and liquidity foundation. The platform currently supports trading of approximately 1,400+ global stock instruments. In the future, the platform will continue to expand its capabilities to more markets and more asset classes, further perfecting the infrastructure connecting stablecoins to global capital markets.
