PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today announced the launch of its Stock Index Perpetual Contracts, with the first batch of contracts scheduled for listing, including Tesla Index Perpetual Contract (TSLAUSDT) and MicroStrategy Index Perpetual Contract (MSTRUSDT). As traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto infrastructure continue to converge, the new product combines 24/7 trading, micro-contract entry from 1 USDT, and a risk control framework built on institutional-grade pricing, session-aware mark pricing, and EMA-based transition smoothing, offering eligible global users a more continuous, flexible, and risk-conscious tool for cross-asset allocation, while further expanding KuCoin's cross-market derivatives infrastructure under its Trust-First strategy.
As global markets become more interconnected and increasingly event-driven, portfolio management is shifting from single-market participation toward continuous risk management across time zones and asset classes. In traditional equity markets, liquidity conditions can change sharply around market open and close, creating short-term pricing dislocations and increasing the risk of technical liquidations. KuCoin's Stock Index Perpetual Contracts are designed to address that structural limitation by bringing equity-linked derivatives into a crypto-native, always-on trading environment.
Key features include:
- 24/7 Trading Access – Continuous access to equity-linked contracts beyond traditional market hours.
- Micro-Contract Entry – Positions start from as little as 1 USDT, making participation more accessible to global users.
- Institutional-Grade Pricing Framework – Use of institutional-grade reference pricing mechanisms and session-aware mark pricing designed to better reflect underlying market conditions and reduce traders' exposure to volatility across varying liquidity conditions.
- EMA-Based Transition Smoothing – A pricing design intended to reduce abrupt dislocations around market open and close.
BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, said: "Global capital markets are moving toward a new phase defined by liquidity, real-time risk management, and seamless access. We believe next-generation financial infrastructure must go beyond asset tokenization. It must also provide more reliable pricing, more continuous market access, and more disciplined risk controls. The launch of our Stock Index Perpetual Contracts reflects KuCoin's long-term commitment to supporting the convergence of TradFi and Crypto through infrastructure built on trust."
We will continue refining the product framework, including potential enhancements to pricing methodologies, risk management systems, and liquidity mechanisms, with the objective of supporting stable market operations and user protection. This launch not only expands KuCoin's derivatives offering, but also reflects the core principle of its Trust-First strategy: long-term value in market innovation depends not only on broader asset access, but on the strength of the infrastructure and risk controls that support it.

KuCoin Launches Stock Index Perpetual Contracts, Expanding 24/7 Cross-Asset Access
SHENZHEN, China, March 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 7, ISLE 2026 draw a successful conclusion at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Shenzhen World). As a global arena for display innovation and a barometer for system integration, ISLE 2026 fully showcased the whole industrial chain's achievements in LED displays, audio-video system integration, professional light and sound, stage performance equipment, and more.
With 80,000 square meters floor area, ISLE 2026 attracted over 1,000 exhibitors online and offline. Despite the Middle East civil aviation suspension caused by regional conflicts prior to the opening, ISLE 2026 overseas buyers number increased by 6% compared to the previous edition, highlighting its global influence and industrial standing.
China is the world's largest market for LED display manufacturing and application. ISLE brings together top exhibitors, and is the primary platform for launching new products and solutions. Key technological trends showcased at ISLE 2026 include:
COB and MIP have emerged as the two core technical routes in LED display. Manufacturers actively displayed their Micro-LED and COB fine-pitch LED displays. These next-generation displays offer significant advantages such as high contrast, high reliability, low power consumption, and lightweight design, while achieving major breakthroughs in color performance, lifespan, and response speed. They are widely applied in high-end conferencing and commercial display fields.
AI has deeply penetrated every critical link of the industrial chain. On the front end, large AI models empower content creation and interactive methods, greatly enriching screen presentation forms. On the back end, AI technology is extensively applied in intelligent control of display systems, further enhancing performance.
Green and low-carbon development has become a new industry consensus. Low-power design, common-cathode energy saving, and air-conditioning-free heat dissipation solutions have become key promotional points for major LED display manufacturers.
The physical boundaries of displays are gradually dissolving. Hundreds of exhibitors launched products such as transparent screens, holographic screens, textured screens, and creatively shaped displays, deeply integrating display technology with spatial design and artistic decoration, bringing unprecedented visual experiences and interactive possibilities to commercial displays, home environments, and public art spaces.
In the system integration field, multi-scenario application solutions have become increasingly popular. The era of exhibiting "single hardware products" is outdated. Exhibitors now comprehensively offer "one-stop solutions," presenting application solutions for commercial retail, command centers, smart meetings, broadcasting, stage performances, tourism & home entertainment, providing buyers from various industries with accessible "future templates."
