Pepperstone has expanded its suite of perpetual contracts for difference (CFDs), extending the mechanics of continuous trading to a broader range of assets.
The London-based broker announced the expansion as financial markets increasingly embrace 24/7 trading environments, allowing clients to hold positions without expiry dates across more instruments than previously available.
The development aligns with a broader industry trend toward continuous market access, driven by the rise of cryptocurrency trading and the demand for seamless exposure to volatile assets.
By removing the need to roll over expiring contracts, perpetual CFDs reduce friction for traders managing long-term positions in fast-moving markets.
This expansion follows recent regulatory shifts that have normalized perpetual structures in traditional finance.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently approved perpetual futures for bitcoin, a move that initially pressured shares of major exchange operators amid concerns over competition from decentralized platforms.
