A perpetual exchange is only as useful as the list of things you can trade on it. ApeX Omni's list has grown into one of the broader menus in self-custodial trading: as of mid-September 2026, the platform's public market configuration shows 86 live crypto perpetual contracts and 39 live perpetuals on stocks, ETFs, and commodities, 125 markets in all, every one of them tradeable from a single USDT-margined account with leverage that a trader dials per contract. This is what that menu looks like, and how the leverage behind it actually works.
The Crypto Side: 86 Contracts, Sorted by Sector
The crypto lineup starts where every perp venue starts, with BTC-USDT and ETH-USDT at up to 100x leverage, and then fans out across the sectors that define the current market. The platform's own categorisation groups the contracts into Layer 1s (SOL, BNB, XRP, ADA, SUI, AVAX, NEAR, APT, HBAR, XLM), Layer 2s (ARB, OP, MNT), DeFi (LINK, AAVE, UNI, ONDO, ENA, PENDLE), AI (TAO, VIRTUAL), infrastructure, gaming, and memes (DOGE, 1000PEPE, WIF, PENGU, FARTCOIN). Newer additions include HYPE, ASTER, ZEC, WLFI, PUMP, and PAXG, the tokenised-gold contract that gives crypto traders a hard-asset hedge without leaving the perp account.
Leverage is set deliberately rather than uniformly. Beyond the two majors at 100x, roughly three-quarters of the crypto contracts run up to 50x, while the meme cohort (DOGE, 1000PEPE, 1000BONK, WIF, POPCAT, MOODENG, SPX) is capped at 25x, a straightforward reflection of the volatility those markets carry. All of it runs on a central limit orderbook with up to 10,000 transactions per second of throughput and zero gas fees on orders.
The TradFi Side: 39 Markets, 22 of Them Around the Clock
The second half of the menu is what most perp DEXes do not have. Since November 2025, ApeX Omni has offered perpetual futures on traditional assets, priced by Chainlink's institutional RWA oracle feeds and settled in USDT. The lineup now spans major US equities (Apple, NVIDIA, Tesla, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Coinbase, Palantir, Micron, Intel), index and sector ETFs (SPY, QQQ, the South Korea ETF EWY, the 3x leveraged semiconductor ETF SOXL), commodities (gold, silver, WTI and Brent crude, natural gas, the USO oil fund), a memory-sector DRAM basket index, and a growing set of international and private-market names: Samsung, SK hynix, memory maker CXMT, Cerebras, robotics company Unitree, and SpaceX.
Every TradFi contract offers up to 50x leverage, and 22 of the 39 now trade 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including the pre-IPO names, the chip cohort, and the energy contracts, while the remainder follow a 24/5 schedule with weekend closures. Per platform data, TradFi perpetuals turned over more than $13.8 billion in their first nine months.
Leverage as a Dial, Not a Setting
The number on a contract is a ceiling, not an instruction. ApeX Omni lets traders adjust leverage per contract before or after opening a position: raise it for more exposure, or lower it at any time to widen the buffer to liquidation. Positions are cross-margined, so unrealised profit on one contract offsets unrealised loss on another, and risk limits scale the maintenance margin requirement up as position size grows, which keeps the largest positions the most conservatively margined.
Two design choices shape how that leverage feels in practice. Cross-Collateral means the margin pool can be funded with USDC, WBTC, WETH, ETH, cmETH, mETH, cbBTC, or USDe alongside USDT, each valued at its live index price, so a trader does not have to sell assets to take a position. And TradFi perpetuals live in a separate account with its own margin pool: a liquidation on a stock position can never cascade into crypto positions, or vice versa. High leverage on one side of the platform is structurally quarantined from the other.
The Order Toolkit Behind Every Pair
Breadth of markets is only useful with breadth of execution. Every USDT perpetual on ApeX Omni supports limit, market, conditional market, conditional limit, and take-profit / stop-loss orders, with the advanced flags professionals expect: time-in-force options (Good-Till-Time, Fill-or-Kill, Immediate-or-Cancel), Post-Only to guarantee maker status, and Reduce-Only to ensure an order can only shrink a position. TP/SL orders can trigger on last, mark, or index price and close positions in stages, and cancelling an unfilled order costs nothing.
Charting is powered by TradingView, so the analysis toolkit matches the one most active traders already use.
Beyond Perpetuals
The perpetual menu sits inside a wider set of instruments that share the same account. Prediction markets synced from Polymarket's order books add thousands of live spot markets across politics, sports, and crypto, with no leverage and no liquidation; the platform's Political Markets Season, running September 7 to October 4, 2026, is built around four of the most actively traded political contracts. Event adds short-window up-or-down markets on Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, silver, and crude oil. A Grid Bot can automate range strategies on any of the 86 crypto perpetuals.
A Menu That Keeps Moving
The list is not static, and the platform treats listings and delistings as a discipline. New contracts arrive regularly, with recent additions on both sides of the menu, including TAO, CHZ, CHIP, and MEGA on the crypto side and oil, gold, and silver contracts on the commodity side. Delistings follow a published mechanism: advance announcement, phased trading restrictions, automated settlement at the average mark price over the final 30 minutes, and persistent trade history after removal. For a trader, that means the contract they are in today will not vanish without warning tomorrow.
Put together, the pitch is simple: one account, one margin pool per asset class, and more than 120 things to trade on it, from the most liquid asset in crypto to a robotics company that has not gone public yet.
