Exchange Bitrue is adding three new tokenized perpetual contracts, giving traders synthetic exposure to Northrop Grumman, the iShares Semiconductor ETF and ConocoPhillips without holding the underlying shares. The listings span three distinct sectors: NOC tracks the aerospace and defense contractor, SOXX mirrors the performance of BlackRock's semiconductor-focused ETF, and COP follows the oil and gas producer, giving traders leveraged, round-the-clock exposure to defense, chip and energy names in a single perpetual contract format.
Because the products are structured as perpetual futures rather than direct share ownership, they carry none of the settlement delays or trading-hour restrictions of the underlying equities, letting positions be opened or closed at any time and with leverage — a structure that has made tokenized-stock perpetuals one of the fastest-growing corners of crypto derivatives this year.
A Market That's Grown Sevenfold in Six Months
The category Bitrue is expanding into has scaled rapidly. According to CoinGecko's research on tokenized stock perpetuals, the number of tradable RWA perpetual futures markets jumped from just 29 in January to more than 600 by the end of June, while trading volume in tokenized stock perpetuals surged roughly sevenfold over the same period. Semiconductor names in particular have led the demand, with perpetual futures tied to chipmakers overtaking precious metals in both trading volume and open interest by mid-2026.
Why the Sector Mix Matters
Pairing a defense contractor, a semiconductor ETF and an energy producer in the same listing batch gives traders exposure across three sectors that often move on different catalysts — geopolitical spending, AI-driven chip demand, and energy prices — inside products that settle in crypto rather than requiring a traditional brokerage account. That combination has been a key selling point for exchanges racing to expand their tokenized-equity offerings as the underlying market for RWA perpetuals continues to widen.
