[DigitalToday reporter Yoonseo Lee (이윤서)] Crypto exchange Zoomex has launched ZoomexStocks, which lets users access U.S. stock-related assets through an existing crypto account.

On April 15 local time, blockchain outlet BeInCrypto reported that users can trade global stock-linked assets using USDT without a separate securities account.

The newly released product is designed to let users manage exposure to both cryptocurrencies and stock-related assets with a single Zoomex account, without opening a traditional brokerage account or depositing fiat currency. Trading supports USDT and USDC, and starts from a minimum of 5 USDT.

At launch, it offers 12 U.S. stock-related assets. Tech stocks include Apple, Tesla, Alphabet, Nvidia, Meta and Amazon. Index-linked assets support the Nasdaq and the S&P 500, and crypto-related names include Strategy, Robinhood, Circle and Coinbase.

Zoomex drew a line, saying the product is not a service that simply replicates traditional brokerage. A Zoomex product head said, "This product is not a copy of a traditional securities firm, but a format designed to help crypto users access global assets more intuitively." The product head added, "The goal is to lower barriers to entry and simplify procedures so users can manage a multi-asset portfolio on a single platform."

The trading structure uses a price-linked format that reflects actual market data. Prices are synchronised based on data from major exchanges such as Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, and profit and loss are calculated according to price movements. Users can buy and sell at any time. However, the product provides exposure to the underlying asset's price performance and does not involve directly holding actual shares.

Its operating model also differs from traditional stock markets. ZoomexStocks supports 24-hour trading year-round, allowing users to adjust positions before weekends or respond immediately to macroeconomic and industry news. Users can also run dynamic hedging strategies between crypto and stock-related assets.

Zoomex has also launched a fee rebate campaign to mark the release. It will refund 100 percent of stock-token trading fees during the event period, with a maximum refund of 100 USDT per user. Total rewards amount to 50,000 USDT, and rewards will be paid within 7 business days after the campaign ends. Separate registration is required to participate.

The launch comes as crypto trading platforms broaden asset classes within a single account. Zoomex is expanding an integrated trading environment targeting crypto users by linking stock-related asset trading without moving to another platform or going through cross-border remittance procedures.
