Trade.xyz has announced the launch of perpetual futures contracts for India's NIFTY 50 stock index, enabling traders to take leveraged positions of up to 20 times the initial investment.

The platform offers round-the-clock trading and settlement in USDC, the second-largest stablecoin by market cap, which currently stands at $71.2B according to DeFiLlama.

USDC, the stablecoin used for settlement on the platform, is currently priced at $0.999352, with minimal price movement over the past week.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDC ≈ ₹100.01 (about $0.9993), down 0.0% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.0% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
