Pepperstone, a leading CFD broker, today announced the expansion of its Perpetual CFD offering as financial markets increasingly move toward continuous trading.
The rollout extends perpetual market access beyond digital assets, reflecting a broader shift underway across global finance, where investors are demanding markets that operate around the clock rather than within traditional exchange hours.
Perpetual futures have become one of the fastest-growing product categories in global markets, with annual trading volumes estimated to have exceeded $90 trillion in 2025.
At the same time, industry estimates suggest tokenised financial assets could grow from around $35 billion today to approximately $2 trillion by 2030, reinforcing the shift towards always-on, blockchain-based markets.
Together, these developments point to a future where ownership becomes increasingly digital, liquidity becomes continuous, and market access extends well beyond traditional exchange hours.
Perpetual markets first emerged in digital assets, predominantly in the crypto space.
Pepperstone is helping bring that innovation into the regulated world, extending perpetual access across traditional asset classes as global financial markets continue their evolution toward continuous trading.
Having launched SPCX.US-PERP, a synthetic perpetual CFD referencing SpaceX, Pepperstone is now accelerating the next phase of its rollout.
Gold, Silver, Nasdaq, S&P 500, WTI, and Brent Crude perpetual CFDs are among the instruments planned for launch, extending 24/7 market access across metals, indices, and energy markets.
All products will be available through Pepperstone’s regulated CFD framework, utilizing its global regulatory licenses, which provide traders with access to perpetual market mechanics via familiar platforms and account structures.
Tamas Szabo, Group CEO of Pepperstone, stated that the expansion reflects a broader transformation occurring across global financial markets.
“The concept of markets opening and closing at fixed hours is becoming increasingly outdated. Capital, information, and risk now move continuously, and we believe 24-hour markets will become a standard feature of modern finance. Our focus is on bringing that future into a regulated environment that traders already know and trust.”
Chris Weston, Head of Research at Pepperstone, said the shift toward 24/7 markets is being driven by the changing nature of information flow and global capital markets.
“Major market-moving developments no longer wait for opening bells. Information is global, instantaneous, and continuous, and traders increasingly want access to markets when opportunities emerge. We see that demand for continuous access is becoming a defining feature of the next generation of financial markets.”
Unlike perpetual futures offered on many crypto exchanges, Pepperstone’s Perpetual CFDs operate entirely within its existing CFD infrastructure.
Traders can access perpetual market exposure through a trading account without the need for crypto wallets, exchange collateral arrangements, or separate venue onboarding.
The expansion forms part of Pepperstone’s broader strategy to build products that reflect how markets are evolving and how clients increasingly want to access them.
