Chennai/Bengaluru, 28th April 2026: Giottus has expanded its Futures platform beyond crypto by launching multi-asset perpetual contracts covering US equities, precious and industrial metals, and energy products. The rollout allows the exchange’s 1.3 million users to trade global macro assets alongside crypto through a single USDT-margined wallet.
The launch introduces perpetual contracts linked to major US-listed equities such as TSLA, NVDA, GOOGL, META, AMZN, MSTR, PLTR, HOOD, CRCL, and INTC. The metals segment includes Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Copper, and Tether Gold. Energy contracts include Brent crude, WTI crude, and Natural Gas. All products are structured as USDT-settled perpetual contracts and remain tradable 24/5.
The expansion positions Giottus as one of the few Indian crypto exchanges offering a unified trading environment that spans digital assets, commodities, energy, and equities from a single margin account. Unlike traditional investment routes that often require separate brokerages, foreign remittance pathways, or currency conversion layers, users can now access multiple asset classes from a single collateral pool.
The launch comes at a time when market participation is increasingly driven by macroeconomic themes rather than isolated crypto narratives. Bitcoin’s correlation with US technology stocks, oil-linked inflation expectations, and gold’s role as a defensive asset have created a growing overlap between crypto trading behaviour and global macro positioning.
For Indian traders, the platform reduces the friction involved in accessing overseas-linked exposure. Traditional participation in US markets often requires foreign brokerage onboarding, outward remittance documentation, and foreign exchange conversion costs. A unified perpetual futures model allows users to take directional or hedging positions across markets without moving funds between separate platforms.
The new contracts also create broader trading strategies beyond long-only crypto exposure. Traders can hedge crypto positions during Federal Reserve policy weeks, express views around earnings-driven volatility in US technology companies, or offset inflation-related uncertainty through commodity-linked exposure. Cross-market relationships such as Bitcoin and MicroStrategy, stablecoin narratives and Circle, or energy-linked inflation trades can now be executed without leaving the same trading environment.
“Markets no longer move in isolation. Crypto traders increasingly respond to the same macro signals that influence equities, commodities, and rates. This expansion reflects how trading behaviour is evolving toward cross-asset participation rather than siloed exposure,” said Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus.
“By bringing multiple asset classes into a single USDT-collateralised environment, we are giving Indian users a more seamless way to express macro views, hedge volatility, and participate across global markets without fragmentation,” he added.
Internal platform trends indicate that user behaviour is becoming increasingly macro-aware. Over the past 6 months, Giottus Futures recorded 12% growth in derivatives participation, while 45% of active futures traders interacted with assets linked to macro catalysts such as Federal Reserve meetings, earnings seasons, or commodity-driven volatility. During major market events, futures trading volumes on Giottus rose by 15%. This indicates that users increasingly respond to broader
financial signals rather than crypto-only narratives.
The expansion also introduces contracts that remain limited or unavailable across most Indian trading venues, including Platinum, Palladium, and tokenised gold exposure through Tether Gold. By placing equities, commodities, energy, and crypto under a single collateral framework, Giottus is positioning Futures as a unified trading layer rather than a crypto-only derivatives product.
Giottus is a completely India-based crypto exchange serving more than 1.2 million users. The platform supports trading across spot and futures markets and lists more than 550 digital assets. Giottus also provides multilingual support across more than eight Indian languages and focuses on compliance-led participation, investor education, and regulated access to virtual digital assets.
