Futures on Roxom let you speculate on the price of real-world assets using Bitcoin. No fiat, no expiration dates, just BTC-denominated perpetual contracts.

​
What are Futures?

A futures contract is a financial instrument that lets you trade on the price movement of another asset, without owning that asset directly. In Roxom, these are perpetual futures contracts, meaning:
  • They don’t expire
  • You can go long (buy) or short (sell)
  • You trade contracts whose prices follow assets like Gold or the S&P 500 through their tokenized or ETF underlyings (e.g., PAXG for Gold, SPY for S&P 500)
  • Everything is quoted, margined and settled in BTC
You’re not buying the asset. You’re trading on its price in Bitcoin. Want the full technical details? Check the Perpetual Futures Contract section in our Rulebook.

​
Example: What does GOLD/BTC mean?

Let’s say gold is trading at $3,000 per ounce and Bitcoin is trading at $100,000. The GOLD/BTC contract might be priced around 0.03 BTC, meaning 1 ounce of gold is worth 0.03 BTC.
  • If you think the gold price (in BTC terms) will go up, you can buy (go long)
  • If you think it’ll go down, you can sell (go short)
When the price moves, your PnL is in BTC, not in USD.

​
What makes Roxom futures different?

  • BTC-denominated: All trading, margin, and settlement is in Bitcoin
  • Perpetuals: No expiration or rollover. Positions stay open as long as you want
  • Real-world assets: Trade gold, oil, and major equity indices, all using BTC
  • 24/7 trading: Some contracts (like GOLD/BTC) are always open
  • Isolated margin: Each position is independent. One loss won’t wipe out your account

​
What do I need to start?

You need BTC to trade. You can deposit BTC directly, or deposit USDC/USDT and sell them for BTC on the platform.
  1. Deposit BTC, USDC, or USDT into your Funding Account
  2. Transfer funds to your Unified Trading Account (UTA)
  3. If you transferred USDC or USDT, sell them for BTC using One-Click Trade (Swap)
  4. Pick a contract, choose your leverage, and open a position

  • US500/BTC: S&P 500 ETF (SPY)
