Apple on Binance — but not quite Apple

Soon on Binance, $AAPL will appear. At first glance, it sounds like Apple Inc. shares can now be bought directly through the cryptocurrency exchange. In reality — no.

This is a perpetual futures contract. A contract that mimics the price movement of AAPL but does not provide any shares of the company, nor dividends, nor participation in issuer events. Just a pure bet on the price movement.

In fact, this is synthetic exposure: you are trading not the stock, but its price.

Why such instruments are emerging:
— access to the movement of American stocks through the cryptocurrency exchange
— leveraging
— working through USDT
— reacting faster than traditional markets

But it is important to understand the difference: this is a trader's tool, not an investor's.

If previously crypto copied finance, now it is gradually pulling in the stock market as well.
