How Many Stocks Can You Trade as Perpetual Futures? MEXC's Stock Futures Coverage Explained
Stock perpetual futures let you trade US stock prices 24/7 with crypto as margin and no brokerage account.
Most explainers stop there.
This one gives you a dated count of how many stock perpetual futures MEXC lists, what a 300-name list actually holds, how fast new names arrive, and what independent data says about trading quality.
Key Takeaways
- A stock perpetual future tracks a listed stock's price with no expiry, uses USDT or USDC as margin, and gives you no shares, dividends or votes.
- MEXC listed 310 equity perpetuals as of July 29, 2026, the most among the five centralized exchanges in TokenInsight's August 2026 report, and MEXC's own September 2026 snapshot puts its Stock Futures at more than 400 stocks and ETFs.
- The list runs past US large caps into Asian memory stocks, leveraged ETFs such as SOXL, US index contracts, and a SpaceX contract that traded before the IPO.
- SpaceX shows the listing speed: pre-IPO Launchpad rounds, futures live before the June 12, 2026 listing, and an automatic roll into the listed stock.
- Across the five sampled venues, equity perpetuals averaged $17.6 billion a day from July 1 to August 5, 2026, with weekend volume at 9.9% of weekday levels.
- On TokenInsight's five test pairs, MEXC had the deepest book at the 0.01% band, the lowest median slippage on three of five, and second place at the wider bands.
What Are Stock Perpetual Futures? Equity Perpetuals and Stock Perps Explained
A stock perpetual future is a contract that tracks the price of a listed stock and never expires.
You post USDT or USDC as margin and go long if you expect the price to rise or short if you expect it to fall.
You never own the share, so there are no dividends and no voting rights.
Traders also call them equity perpetuals or stock perps, and they work like the crypto perpetuals most exchange users know.
TokenInsight measured $17.6 billion in average daily equity perpetual volume across five centralized exchanges from July 1 to August 5, 2026, and about $23.5 billion on weekdays, ahead of ETH perpetuals.
The Wall Street Without Walls pillar explains how a stock future differs from a RealStock and a tokenized stock.
How Many Stock Perpetual Futures Does MEXC List? 300-Plus and Counting
MEXC listed 310 equity perpetuals as of July 29, 2026, according to TokenInsight's Equity Perpetuals Market Report, the most among the five centralized exchanges the report sampled.
The count came from a snapshot of each venue's official API that day and covered equity perpetuals only.
It is a dated finding for one sample, not a league table for the whole market.
MEXC's own count is more recent and uses its own product definition: its Trade Wall Street, Without Walls campaign puts Stock Futures at more than 300 stocks available 24/7.
New names are added often, so the live MEXC stock futures list is where to check the current figure.
Which markets and sectors does the list cover?
MEXC's stock futures list covers five groups: US large caps and recent IPOs, memory names from South Korea, Japan and China, leveraged and thematic ETFs, US index contracts, and a pre-IPO contract that rolled into a listed stock.
Some of the busiest contracts in July 2026 were memory-chip names, not mega-cap tech.
The May stock futures release added KIOXIA, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics next to Micron and SanDisk, and named SOXL and DRAM among its ETF contracts.
It also said SPX500, NAS100 and US30 produced 87% of index-segment volume in May 2026.
MEXC's July highlights, dated August 12, 2026, ranked SanDisk futures third by volume behind only the two gold contracts, with volume up more than 15 times in a month, and put SanDisk, SK Hynix and Micron at 18% of July's TradFi futures volume.
How fast do new names get listed?
New names can arrive before a company is even public.
SpaceX is the clearest example: MEXC ran SPACEX(PRE) Launchpad rounds while the company was private, listed SPCX futures before the June 12, 2026 IPO, and then rolled the contract automatically to track the listed stock.
The first two Launchpad rounds raised $173 million in subscriptions, oversubscribed by as much as 30 times, per MEXC's SpaceX futures release of June 19, 2026.
That release also reported that daily SPCX futures volume had peaked above $800 million USDT, with 0 fees and up to 100x leverage on SPCX as of June 2026.
In its Q2 2026 report of July 14, 2026, MEXC reported more than 7.1 billion USDT in SPCX futures volume in the weeks after the listing, its own figure rather than an audited one.
"Speed to listing is how an exchange serves this market," MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said in the July highlights.
Does more coverage mean better trading?
Not by itself, and TokenInsight says as much in its own report.
The report expects the next stage of this market to be decided less by how many contracts a venue lists and more by off-hours liquidity, price discovery and execution at scale.
So the fair test of a 310-name list is what happens when you send an order.
The test covered SOXLUSDT, SPCXUSDT, INTCUSDT, SNDKUSDT and SKHYNIXUSDT on weekdays from July 29 to August 6, 2026.
At the 0.01% band, the order book depth closest to the traded price, MEXC ranked first with $0.52 million across the five contracts, and second at the wider 0.05% and 0.10% bands.
MEXC also posted the lowest median slippage on SKHYNIXUSDT, SOXLUSDT and SPCXUSDT at both $10K and $100K, with $100K medians of 0.0170%, 0.0130% and 0.0112%.
On INTCUSDT and SNDKUSDT, other venues in the sample were tighter.
The full record of MEXC's results across TokenInsight's 2026 reports, each with its date and sample, is on the MEXC liquidity page.
What are the risks of trading stock perpetual futures?
The main risks are leverage, thin off-hours liquidity, price gaps when the underlying market reopens, and eligibility limits.
Leverage cuts both ways, and the 24/7 label describes when you can trade, not how deep the market is on a Sunday night.
How much you can actually hold at a given leverage is set by the position limit at that tier, which stock futures leverage tiers and position limits reads off the live tables contract by contract.
Across TokenInsight's five venues, equity perpetual volume averaged $23.5 billion on weekdays but only $2.3 billion on weekends, 9.9% of the weekday level, from July 1 to August 5, 2026.
The stock market is closed, so there is no live reference market to price against.
MEXC's own trading hours guide says that in low-liquidity periods it may tighten order price limits, cut maximum leverage on new orders, or set a pair to close-only, and that prices can gap when the market reopens.
Eligibility depends on where you live, so check before you fund an account.
How do you start trading a stock future on MEXC?
You open the Futures section of the MEXC website or app and search for the ticker or choose the Stocks tab.
Then you set leverage and margin mode and place a long or short order the same way you would for a crypto perpetual.
The step-by-step guide, how to trade stock futures on MEXC, walks through the steps.
Start with a position size you can afford to lose and a leverage level you can explain to yourself before moving up.
Before you place it, add up the fee, slippage and funding lines with the total trading cost guide.
FAQ
What are equity perpetuals?
Equity perpetuals are perpetual futures on a stock, ETF or stock index with no expiry date; stock perps and stock perpetual futures mean the same thing.
Can you trade stock futures on weekends?
Yes, MEXC stock futures trade 24/7, though the official trading hours guide treats weekends and US holidays as low-liquidity periods when order limits and leverage may tighten.
Do you own the stock?
No, a stock perpetual future gives you exposure to the price only, with no shares, dividends or voting rights.
Which exchange lists the most stock futures?
In TokenInsight's August 2026 report, MEXC listed the most equity perpetuals of the five centralized exchanges sampled, 310 as of July 29, 2026.
What is the maximum leverage on MEXC stock futures?
It varies by contract; MEXC's US stocks page lists up to 200x as of September 2026, and each contract's trading page shows its own maximum.
Are US index futures available?
Yes, MEXC lists SPX500, NAS100 and US30 contracts, which together produced 87% of the platform's index-segment volume in May 2026.
Are non-US stocks available?
Yes, SK Hynix futures, KIOXIA and Samsung Electronics are on the list, and MEXC lists storage names from the United States, South Korea, Japan and China.
How does a stock perp stay close to the stock price?
On MEXC, the contract's fair price is anchored to the latest price of the underlying stock, and margin and liquidation are calculated from it.
Conclusion
The 300-plus figure is real, dated and counted by a third party, but what matters is what sits inside it: memory names, ETFs, index contracts and a pre-IPO route into SpaceX.
TokenInsight's data also shows where MEXC leads and where it does not, the honest way to read any coverage claim.
If you want to see the list for yourself, the MEXC stock futures page shows the contracts currently live.
