SuperEx Guide: Index Futures Product Introduction
SuperEx Index Futures is an innovative futures trading product.
Users can use non-mainstream, small-cap cryptocurrencies as margin and profit-and-loss settlement assets to trade the index prices of major trading pairs such as BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT, enabling a futures trading experience where “altcoins leverage mainstream market trends.”
This product is priced based on multi-exchange index prices and combined with a perpetual futures mechanism. While ensuring fair pricing, it significantly enhances the capital efficiency and trading scenarios of altcoins.

Core Innovations
- Altcoins as Margin and Settlement Assets
Supports the use of selected non-mainstream cryptocurrencies as:
Opening margin
Profit and loss settlement assets
Profits and losses are directly reflected in the balance of the corresponding altcoin based on contract results.
This transforms originally low-liquidity altcoins into trading tools that can directly participate in mainstream market fluctuations.
- Trading Major Cryptocurrency Index Prices
Contract prices are based on major index prices such as BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT
Index data is sourced from multiple major exchanges
Effectively avoids abnormal pricing and manipulation risks from a single exchange
What users trade is mainstream market trends, not the price fluctuations of the altcoin itself.
- Index Perpetual Futures Mechanism
Adopts a perpetual futures structure with no expiration or delivery
Uses an index price + mark price mechanism for:
Unrealized PnL calculation
Liquidation determination
This improves trading fairness and reduces issues such as price spikes and abnormal liquidations.
