Against the backdrop of increased macro volatility and cross-market linkages in 2026, Gate has split macro trading into two complementary paths and embedded them into account infrastructure: Gate TradFi (MT5 + CFD) offers a professional entry point closer to traditional rules and cost structures, while Gate Macro Perpetual Contracts settle in USDT and incorporate stocks, metals, indices, forex, and commodities into a unified margin and risk management framework within contract accounts. As of February 11, Gate has launched over 70 macro perpetual contracts covering five major asset classes; at the mechanism level, Price-Hold handles pricing continuity during market closures, and supports parallel long and short positions within the same market, as well as a mix of full and isolated margin positions, and independent leverage settings for isolated longs and shorts in a sub-account mode, thereby enhancing the executability of hedging, position adjustments, and strategy reuse.

Author: Huobi Growth Academy Summary Stock contracts, as innovative products connecting traditional financial markets with the crypto derivatives system, are rapidly reshaping on-chain trading patterns. We will delve into the product essence, growth logic, technical architecture, and market ecology of this emerging sector, and systematically analyze the regulatory challenges and future prospects it faces. Research shows that perpetual stock contracts are not merely a simple conceptual innovation but are built on the foundation of over $160 trillion in global stock market capitalization, combined with the structural opportunities of mature perpetual contract trading paradigms. Currently, leading Perp DEXs represented by Hyperliquid, Aster, and Lighter have taken the lead in establishing a complete stock perpetual product matrix, forming a clear advantage in trading depth, user experience, and asset coverage. However, regulatory uncertainty remains the biggest constraint in this sector, and exploration of product compliance pathways is ongoing.

Solana's leading infrastructure aggregator Jupiter officially launches its native stablecoin JupUSD, which is provided with white-label services by Ethena Labs. Its reserve assets are 90% supported by BlackRock's tokenized fund BUIDL. JupUSD is not an isolated product; its core strategy is to serve as a "unified accounting unit" deeply integrated into Jupiter's increasingly extensive "super app" matrix, including lending, perpetual contracts, spot trading, and prediction markets. As a signaling move, Jupiter plans to gradually convert approximately $500 million worth of USDC in the perpetual contract liquidity pool (JLP) into JupUSD. This marks a decisive step for Jupiter to evolve from a simple trading aggregator to a "super app" that controls the core financial layer, and introduces the first native stablecoin in the Solana DeFi ecosystem to receive deep endorsement from mainstream traditional financial giants.

According to a recent weekly report from Matrix on Target on November 21, (2025-161), Bitcoin has currently entered an extreme fear zone, with market sentiment dropping to a level rarely seen in nearly a decade.

Technical indicator divergence: Several indicators that previously issued warnings before the October decline have now moved to the opposite extreme, but this does not mean that the risk has been eliminated, as some key indicators show a clear divergence from the price. Macroeconomic factors persist: The macro pressure that triggered this round of sell-off has not yet eased, and the coming weeks will be a critical period to determine whether Bitcoin stabilizes or enters a deeper phase of correction.
