We should give everybody unrestricted access to leveraged perpetuals for stocks

Equity perpetuals are gaining significant attention, with various pre-IPO and public equity perpetual markets launched by HIP-3 providers on Hyperliquid. These markets promise two innovations: perpetual futures on equity products and around-the-clock trading of these products. The shift from peer-to-pool models, like those previously used by Ostium and Gains Network, to order-book-based equity perpetuals is notable, with platforms like trade.xyz and Felix showing higher volumes than their predecessors. There’s optimism within the community about oral equity perpetuals offering new avenues for tokenization, as retail demand for leveraged exposure to stocks increases. Perpetual contracts can provide intuitive entry points for retail traders, potentially replacing the demand for options trading. This shift comes as traders seek to engage more directly with liquidity pools, opening up new ways to take on risk in today's market.
