All TradFi markets are available for trading 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. However, spreads may be significantly wider outside of traditional market trading hours.

TradFi markets currently have the same trading fee structure as crypto markets, although this may be revised in the future.

Oracle Prices

For TradFi perpetual markets, index and mark prices rely on external oracle data during trading hours. Extended uses two oracle providers depending on the asset class.

During off trading hours, if the oracle has not been updated for 5 minutes, both the index price and mark price for TradFi markets are calculated as follows.

Index_t = β * Index_{t-1} + (1 - β) * Impact_Mid_Price, where:

  • β = e^(-10 sec / 1 hour), implying that the index is updated every 10 seconds

  • Impact_Mid_Price = 10-minute EMA impact mid price

The maximum deviation of the index and mark price from the last known oracle price is capped at ± 1 / (max market leverage).

Funding Payments

The logic remains the same as in crypto markets, except that the Funding Rate is calculated as Average Premium / 8. The funding rate cap is currently set at 1% per hour for all TradFi assets.

Event
Handling

Ordinary cash dividends

No direct adjustment. The expected ex-dividend price drop is reflected in the oracle and priced through the funding rate.

Stock splits, reverse splits, and spin-offs

The market is settled at the mark price before the effective date and relaunched as a new market after the event. Such actions are announced in advance.

Mergers and acquisitions, delistings

The market is settled at the mark price before the effective date and either relaunched with adjusted terms or remains delisted. Such actions are announced in advance.

Special dividends and other distributions

Handled on a case-by-case basis. The market may either be settled and relaunched with adjusted terms, or the expected ex-dividend price drop may be reflected in the oracle and priced through the funding rate. Treatment will be communicated in advance where possible.
