How to Buy U.S. Stocks on FameEX? Trade TradFi U.S. Stock Contracts With USDT

TradFi on FameEX offers another way to participate in price movements across traditional financial markets. Users can use USDT as the primary margin and settlement asset to trade perpetual contracts linked to U.S. stocks, gold, forex, and other traditional financial instruments. Before trading, it is important to understand that TradFi U.S. stock contracts are not the same as owning actual U.S. stocks.

TradFi on FameEX does not involve directly buying actual U.S. shares. Instead, users open perpetual contract positions linked to the prices of the underlying stocks. Holding a TSLA/USDT or NVDA/USDT TradFi contract does not mean you own Tesla or NVIDIA shares. It also does not grant shareholder rights in those companies.

What Is TradFi on FameEX?

TradFi is short for Traditional Finance. It generally refers to traditional financial markets such as stocks, forex, precious metals, and energy. FameEX brings selected traditional financial market instruments into a USDT-settled perpetual contract trading environment. This allows users who already hold crypto assets to trade price movements in these markets with USDT. There is no need to first convert USDT into U.S. dollars and transfer the funds to an overseas brokerage account. TradFi perpetual contracts allow users to open long or short positions based on their market view. Leverage is also available according to the specifications of each trading pair. For this reason, TradFi is closer to the idea of “trading U.S. stock price movements with USDT” than buying actual shares through a traditional brokerage account.

How to Trade TradFi U.S. Stocks on FameEX?

Before looking at the trading process, it is useful to understand how TradFi U.S. stock contracts work. This will help you better understand the trading mechanism and how these products may be used. Before placing a trade, make sure your Futures Account has sufficient USDT available. Once your funds are ready, you can follow the steps below.

Step 1: Enter the TradFi Page

On the web, log in to FameEX and select [TradFi] from the top. In the FameEX App, tap [Futures] at the bottom of the screen and select [TradFi] at the top.

Step 2: Hold USDT in Your Futures Account

TradFi primarily uses USDT as the margin and settlement asset. If your USDT is held in another FameEX account, use [Transfer] to move it to your Futures Account before trading.

Step 3: Select the U.S. Stock Trading Pair

Search for the ticker of the U.S. stock you want to trade, such as TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, or MSFT. Select the corresponding USDT trading pair to enter its trading page.

Step 4: Set Up Your Order Details

Select the margin mode, leverage, and order type based on your trading needs. Then enter the price and quantity. You can also set Take Profit or Stop Loss levels when needed. Leverage limits, minimum order sizes, and other trading specifications may differ between contracts. Always refer to the information displayed on the current trading page.

Step 5: Choose Long or Short

If you expect the price of the related U.S. stock to rise, you can select [Open Long]. If you expect the price to fall, you can select [Open Short]. Keep in mind that leverage magnifies both potential profits and potential losses.

What Is the Difference Between TradFi and Buying Actual U.S. Stocks?

Before trading, it is important to understand the difference between TradFi U.S. stock contracts and directly owning actual shares. The two differ in product structure, asset ownership, trading mechanics, and shareholder rights.

If your goal is to become a long-term shareholder and own actual shares in a company, TradFi perpetual contracts are not a substitute for traditional stock ownership. If your goal is to use USDT to take long or short positions based on U.S. stock price movements, TradFi and traditional stock ownership serve different purposes.

Can You Trade TradFi U.S. Stocks 24/7 on FameEX?

Yes, TradFi on FameEX currently supports 24/7 trading. However, the fact that TradFi contracts can be traded around the clock does not mean the underlying U.S. stock market is open 24/7. U.S. stock markets still follow regular trading hours and close on weekends and market holidays. When the underlying U.S. stock market is closed, liquidity, pricing, spreads, and volatility in the related TradFi contracts may differ from regular U.S. market hours. Extra caution may also be needed around major earnings releases, economic data, market holidays, or periods of lower liquidity.

What Fees Apply to TradFi U.S. Stock Trading?

TradFi trading on FameEX may mainly involve trading fees and funding fees. Trading fees are generally charged when an order is executed. The actual rate may vary depending on the trading pair, VIP level, and applicable platform rules. Some TradFi perpetual contracts may also be subject to funding payments based on the applicable funding rate. Fees and funding rates may change over time. Always refer to the latest information shown on the trading page and contract details.

What Should You Watch When Trading TradFi U.S. Stocks?

U.S. stock prices are influenced by more than technical charts. Company fundamentals and broader macroeconomic conditions can also play an important role. For example, technology companies such as NVIDIA and Microsoft may be affected by AI industry developments, earnings results, revenue guidance, and capital expenditure. Tesla may be influenced by vehicle deliveries, profit margins, and company-specific developments. The broader technology sector may also respond to Federal Reserve interest rates, inflation, and overall market risk appetite. Stock prices can move sharply around corporate earnings announcements. If leverage is used at the same time, short-term market movements can have a greater impact on your position.

FameEX TradFi U.S. Stock FAQ

Q: Can I Buy U.S. Stocks Directly With USDT?

A: If “buying U.S. stocks” means acquiring actual ownership of shares, TradFi on FameEX is not that type of product. TradFi uses USDT as the primary margin and settlement asset for perpetual contracts linked to U.S. stock prices.

Q: Does Buying TSLA/USDT on FameEX Mean I Own Tesla Stock?

A: No. A TSLA/USDT TradFi position is a contract linked to Tesla’s stock price. It does not mean you own actual Tesla shares.

Q: Can I Trade NVIDIA on FameEX?

A: FameEX has listed the NVDA/USDT contract trading pair. The current trading status and contract specifications may change. Refer to the latest information on the TradFi trading page before placing an order.

Q: Can I Short U.S. Stocks Through TradFi?

Q: Do I Need to Convert USDT Into U.S. Dollars to Trade TradFi Stocks?

A: No. TradFi primarily uses USDT as the margin and settlement asset, so you do not need to convert USDT into U.S. dollars before trading.

Q: Is TradFi on FameEX an RWA Product?

A: TradFi shares some broader market context with RWA, stock tokenization, and the digitalization of traditional financial assets. However, the TradFi product on FameEX is a perpetual contract linked to the price of the underlying asset. It does not represent direct ownership of tokenized shares.

Q: Which Is Less Risky, TradFi U.S. Stock Contracts or Crypto Futures?

A: Both are derivative products, and one should not automatically be considered less risky than the other. TradFi U.S. stock contracts can be affected by corporate earnings, traditional financial markets, and macroeconomic factors. Crypto futures may be influenced by on-chain activity, liquidity conditions, and events within the crypto industry. When leverage is used, both products carry liquidation risk.

Conclusion

If you already hold USDT and want to engage with the price movements of companies such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft, TradFi on FameEX provides a way to trade these markets without transferring funds to a traditional overseas brokerage account. Users can open USDT-settled perpetual contract positions linked to the prices of U.S. stocks. They can also choose to go long or short based on their market view. TradFi U.S. stock contracts are derivatives and are not the same as owning actual shares. When leverage is used, market movements can have a greater impact on both profits and losses. Before placing a trade, make sure you understand how the product works, the applicable trading rules, and the related risks.

*Risk Warning: TradFi perpetual contracts are high-risk derivative products. Rapid market movements, changes in liquidity, or insufficient margin may result in significant losses or liquidation.
