Bitrue Futures Adds MercadoLibre (MELI), NuScale (SMR) and EWZS Perpetuals
Bitrue Futures has launched three new USDT-settled perpetual futures contracts: MELI/USDT, SMR/USDT and EWZS/USDT, giving crypto traders exposure to Latin American markets and nuclear energy.
The new perpetual futures contracts track the iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF, MercadoLibre, and NuScale Power, providing exposure to Latin America's growing digital economy and clean energy sectors. All contracts are settled in USDT, allowing traders to follow these traditional markets directly from their Bitrue Futures account without needing to convert to fiat currency or open a brokerage account.
Brazil's Small-Cap Market
The EWZS/USDT perpetual futures contract tracks the iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF, which gives exposure to small-cap companies in Brazil, one of Latin America's largest economies. Brazil's domestic growth story often plays out in smaller companies rather than the country's largest exporters. The ETF holds a diversified basket of these small-cap Brazilian companies, offering traders exposure to Brazil's small-cap segment as a whole through a single instrument.
Latin America's E-Commerce Leader
MELI/USDT tracks MercadoLibre Inc., a NASDAQ-listed company and Latin America's largest e-commerce and fintech platform. The company operates online marketplaces, logistics, and digital payments across the region, making it a key indicator of Latin America's shift to digital commerce and financial services. This contract allows Bitrue traders to follow this significant market trend using their existing crypto trading tools.
Many of our users follow traditional markets as closely as they follow crypto, but they want to trade from one account in USDT.
Nuclear Energy Exposure
SMR/USDT follows NuScale Power Corp., an NYSE-listed company developing small modular nuclear reactors. These reactors represent a more flexible and deployable approach to nuclear power compared to traditional large-scale plants, addressing growing demand for clean and reliable electricity. The contract brings this emerging energy theme to Bitrue Futures, giving traders USDT-settled exposure to one of the key players in the nuclear energy sector.
Trading Details and Risks
All three contracts share the same specifications: settlement in USDT, a tick size of 2, and maximum leverage of 20x. Trading opened at 12:00 UTC on November 12, 2026. As perpetual futures, these contracts have no expiry date and track the price of their underlying assets. However, traders should note that these are derivatives - opening positions does not mean owning the underlying shares or ETF units, and no dividends or shareholder rights are received.
The high leverage available amplifies both potential gains and losses, with positions subject to liquidation if the market moves unfavorably. Traders can find complete contract parameters in the "Currency Information" section of Bitrue's futures trading page and are advised to set risk limits like stop-loss orders before opening positions.
Expanding Market Access
These new listings expand Bitrue's offerings beyond crypto perpetuals to include tokenized real-world assets. Founded in 2018, Bitrue serves over 40 million users worldwide and was the first exchange to list XRP as a base pair. The addition of these traditional market contracts allows users to access diverse investment themes within the same crypto ecosystem, using the same stablecoin for settlement across all positions.
