This is a new batch: on Oct. 26 the exchange already launched perps on AbbVie, EQT, STMicro and the EIDO ETF.

What this means for the market

Round-the-clock perpetuals on stocks let traders take a position on a US-listed share overnight or on weekends, when the underlying market is closed. Binance is widening this lineup quickly, and others are moving the same way: Ripple Prime recently opened perps on 110+ markets to institutions via Hyperliquid.
