Webull Puts a Date on Perpetual Futures: US Rollout Begins in NovemberPerpetual futures will include Bitcoin (BTC) and select crypto assets NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Webull (NASDAQ: BULL) an online investment platform, today announced it will offer perpetual futures to eligible U.S. customers starting in November, expanding its derivatives offering through access to a growing asset class through a regulated platform.
Perpetual futures, or "perps," are futures contracts that provide continuous exposure to an underlying asset without a fixed expiration date. Unlike traditional futures, perps eliminate the need to manage contract expirations or roll positions into new contracts. Instead, a periodic funding mechanism helps keep the contract price aligned with the underlying asset, allowing traders to maintain exposure for as long as their position remains open and applicable margin requirements are met. "Perpetual futures have become a significant part of global derivatives markets, with annual volume reaching more than $90 trillion in 2025," said Anthony Denier, Group President and U.S. CEO of Webull. "As this market continues to grow, we believe U.S. investors should have access to perpetual futures through a regulated platform they already know and trust, bringing a product with significant global adoption into the U.S. regulated futures market." Webull's perpetual futures will be listed on KalshiEX LLC, a CFTC-regulated Designated Contract Market (DCM), and cleared through Kalshi Klear LLC, a CFTC-regulated Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO). Webull will begin rolling out perpetual futures in November, with broader availability anticipated before year-end. The initial offering will include Bitcoin and other crypto assets, with additional products to follow, subject to applicable regulatory review and exchange listing requirements. "As the U.S. market evolves to accommodate new derivatives products, bringing more activity into a regulated, onshore framework is an important step forward," said Tanmay Sheth, Managing Director of the FCM, Futures and Prediction Markets at Webull. "We see an opportunity to combine the accessibility of a modern brokerag platform with the infrastructure and risk controls required for leveraged derivatives. That means giving users clear visibility into margin requirements, funding rates, leverage and liquidation levels, while providing seamless access to a broader range of markets through a single platform." Webull customers will be able to access perpetual futures through their existing Webull Futures accounts, alongside other futures products, while continuing to access stocks, options, crypto, and prediction markets through the broader Webull platform. Perpetual futures will initially be available to eligible U.S. customers approved for futures trading. Positions are subject to periodic funding payments and automatic liquidation if margin falls below maintenance requirements. Perpetual futures involve significant risk and are not suitable for all investors.
