Trade.xyz has announced the launch of perpetual futures contracts for India's NIFTY 50 stock index, marking a significant expansion of crypto derivatives offerings.

The new product allows traders to take leveraged positions of up to 20 times, with trading and settlement conducted in USDC, a stablecoin with a market cap of $71 billion.

This development is corroborated by Crypto.news, which cites an October 27 announcement on X by the decentralized trading platform. No other outlets have reported on this launch, suggesting it may be a recent initiative.

The broader crypto market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.75 trillion. Bitcoin is down 0.45% in the last 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index stands at 48, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
