Pepperstone is expanding its range of perpetual contracts for difference (CFDs), adding new asset classes as the broker broadens access to products designed for continuous trading.
The broker said it plans to introduce perpetual CFDs linked to gold, silver, the Nasdaq, the S&P 500, WTI crude and Brent crude. The expansion follows the launch of a synthetic perpetual CFD referencing SpaceX.
Unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts do not expire. Pepperstone said the products will be available through its regulated CFD infrastructure, allowing clients to trade perpetual instruments without using cryptocurrency exchanges or digital wallets.
The products will be offered under the company’s existing regulatory licences through the same trading platforms and account structures used for its wider CFD offering.
The rollout reflects a broader industry shift toward 24/7 trading. Investors outside U.S. market hours have traditionally had to wait for exchanges to open before trading assets such as the S&P 500 or Nasdaq. Perpetual products allow traders, including those in Asia-Pacific, to respond to market-moving events as they happen rather than waiting for the next trading session.
Perpetual futures first gained popularity in cryptocurrency markets and have become one of the industry’s most actively traded derivatives. Brokers and exchanges are increasingly adapting the model for traditional asset classes as demand grows for extended-hours trading.
Founded in Melbourne in 2010, Pepperstone offers trading in forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs and digital assets. The expansion of its perpetual CFD range reflects the broader push across financial markets toward longer trading hours and continuous market access.
