Bitrue Futures will open trading for three new USDT-settled perpetual futures pairs at 12:00 UTC on Nov. 12, 2026, according to BeInCrypto. The new contracts, designated MELI/USDT, SMR/USDT, and EWZS/USDT, provide crypto traders with exposure to traditional market assets without requiring a separate brokerage account or holding US dollars.
Contract Specifications and Underlying Assets
All three listings share identical technical specifications. The settlement asset for each pair is USDT, the tick size is 2, and the maximum leverage available is 20x. The contracts are perpetual futures, meaning they have no expiry date. Each contract tracks the price of a specific underlying asset, allowing traders to gain or lose based on price movements rather than ownership of the asset itself.
The EWZS/USDT pair tracks the iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF. This ETF holds a basket of small-cap companies in Brazil, offering a broad view of the local economy in a single instrument. The MELI/USDT pair tracks MercadoLibre Inc., a NASDAQ-listed company described as Latin America’s largest e-commerce and fintech platform. Its business spans online marketplaces, logistics, and digital payments across the region. The SMR/USDT pair tracks NuScale Power Corp., an NYSE-listed company that develops small modular nuclear reactors intended to make nuclear power smaller, more flexible, and easier to deploy than traditional large-scale plants.
Derivative Structure and Risk Parameters
Traders opening positions in these new pairs do not own the underlying shares or ETF units. Consequently, they do not receive dividends or shareholder rights. The contracts are margined and settled in USDT, which allows users to follow these traditional markets directly from their Bitrue Futures account. The platform notes that these are derivatives, and positions can be liquidated if the market moves against the trader. Leverage of up to 20x increases both potential gains and potential losses, and futures trading involves the risk of losing more than the initial margin.
Bitrue, founded in 2018, states it serves more than 40 million users worldwide and was the first exchange to list XRP as a base pair. The exchange offers a suite of products including tokenized real-world assets, staking products, Launchpool offerings, and Bitrue AI. The new listings expand the range of markets available on Bitrue Futures alongside its existing crypto perpetuals. A Bitrue spokesperson said, “Many of our users follow traditional markets as closely as they follow crypto, but they want to trade from one account in USDT.” The spokesperson added that adding contracts linked to Latin America’s leading companies and the nuclear energy sector gives users access to themes they are already watching with the same tools they use on Bitrue Futures. The service is not available in restricted jurisdictions, including the US, Canada, the UK, the EEA, China, and sanctioned countries.
