What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Traders using KuCoin Futures will notice three new perpetual products tied to Nike, Accenture and the Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF. The contracts are tradable around the clock and are settled in USDT, so the interface is different from owning the shares or ETF units themselves.

In practice, the addition changes what can be traded on the platform without changing who owns the underlying assets. The contracts reference prices for the named stock or ETF and remain synthetic, while the ownership of shares or ETF units does not move to the trader.
