Risk disclosure

Leverage risk. Trading perpetual futures with leverage carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for everyone. Prices can move quickly, positions can be liquidated, and you can lose all of the margin you commit. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Synthetic exposure. Stock, ETF, forex and commodity markets on AtlasPerp are perpetual contracts that track the price of the underlying asset. They do not give you ownership of shares, currencies or commodities, voting rights or dividends. These markets follow exchange sessions and their prices can gap when trading resumes.

Self-custody and technology risk. AtlasPerp is a non-custodial interface. You are responsible for your wallet, private keys and every transaction you sign. Smart contracts, blockchains, oracles and cross-chain infrastructure are audited but may still fail or be exploited.

No advice; your responsibility. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and past performance does not guarantee future results. You are responsible for making sure that using AtlasPerp is lawful where you live. AtlasPerp must not be used in violation of applicable laws or sanctions. See the Terms of Service.

Accepted collateral

USDC is the base currency of your account: positions, PnL and fees are all measured in USDC. You can also deposit other assets as cross-margin collateral. Each counts at a percentage of its market value, called its weight, to protect against price swings.

AssetCollateral weight
USDC (USD Coin)100%
USDT (Tether USD)100%
USD1 (World Liberty USD)98%
USDG (Global Dollar)98%
YUSD90%
ETH (Ether)80%
WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin)80%
Weights shown are the base values. Very large holdings of one asset count at a lower weight, and per-user caps apply to some assets.

What you can deposit on each network

Each network supports its own set of assets. USDC can be deposited on all five; the others only where listed.

Holding a token on another network?

Use Swap in the app to convert it to USDC, or bridge it to a network that accepts it, before depositing.

How collateral counts

Example

You deposit 1 ETH while ETH trades at 3,000 USDC.

Collateral value = 1 × 3,000 × 80% = 2,400 USDC of margin.

Non-stablecoin collateral moves with the market

If ETH falls, your collateral value falls with it, even if your positions are flat. Stablecoins keep your margin predictable.
