Product Expansions and TradFi Perpetual Growth
During September, Zoomex expanded its broader equities suite to cover more than 200 global stocks, indices, and ETFs, backed by a dual liquidity pool architecture offering sub-10ms execution. Following a spotlight on TSLA and NVDA contracts on September 10, the platform added six ETF perpetuals on September 17: SPYUSDT, QQQUSDT, IWMUSDT, XLFUSDT, XLKUSDT, and TQQQUSDT. This expansion followed earlier efforts by the exchange when Zoomex expanded its predict world platform to capture macro volatility.
To drive adoption of these 24/7 contracts, Zoomex renewed its Zero-Fee TradFi campaign from September 11 to October 11, following an initial phase from August 28 to September 4. The promotion provides a 100% fee rebate capped at 100 USDT per account across Stock Contracts, Stock Tokens, and commodity contracts for gold, silver, and crude oil.
World Trading Championship and Prediction Markets
On September 10, the exchange launched the Zoomex World Trading Championship (ZWTC) 2026, introducing a total prize pool of up to 5 million USDT. The tournament's Squad Competition opened on September 21 and runs through October 11, offering up to 2.5 million USDT across profit rate, trading volume, and community popularity leaderboards, alongside a 1.5 million USDT Rewards Zone.
In tandem with the competition, Zoomex highlighted its Copy Trading Hub, featuring performance windows of 7, 30, and 90 days. On September 16, the platform initiated a Copy Trading loss compensation event, delivering up to 50 USDT in Copy Trading Bonus for net realized first-week losses through October 13.
On September 18, Zoomex expanded its long-term prediction contracts, which now represent 49 of its 70 live markets. Active contracts examine outcomes such as HYPE flipping SOL by year-end, China unbanning Bitcoin by 2027, and whether MicroStrategy announces bankruptcy before 2027. The exchange also reported a double points finish for its partner, the TGR Haas F1 Team, in Baku.
Why It Matters
Zoomex's continuous addition of equity and ETF perpetuals highlights an accelerating integration between traditional financial assets and 24/7 crypto derivatives platforms. Offering round-the-clock trading on broad-market benchmarks like QQQUSDT and SPYUSDT gives market participants specialized hedging tools when Federal Reserve policy shifts trigger sharp market reactions outside traditional Wall Street operating hours. Maintaining multi-jurisdictional registrations alongside transparent Proof of Reserves frameworks remains critical for exchanges seeking to retain user trust during high-profile security vulnerabilities across the digital asset industry.
