Crypto exchange KuCoin has launched equity-linked perpetual derivatives tied to stocks such as Tesla and Strategy. The first listings include TSLAUSDT and MSTRUSDT, which track price movements but do not grant ownership of the shares. The contracts are synthetic derivatives settled in stablecoins and can be traded continuously. They can be opened with as little as 1 USDt (USDT), reducing the entry threshold for traders seeking exposure to equity linked price movements through a crypto trading platform. KuCoin, founded in 2017, serves over 40 million users across over 200 countries and lists over 1,000 digital tokens for trading. The market for tokenized equities has surged since the beginning of 2025, with a total market value of about $1.03 billion.
