Traders are always looking for opportunities tied to real themes shaping the economy right now.
Three new names just landed on BTSE’s stock futures market: Cerebras Systems, Rocket Lab, and the URNM Sprott Uranium Miners ETF.
This time, we break down why each one matters and how you can start trading them as stock perpetual futures, and no brokerage account is needed. All you need is just USDT and a BTSE account.
For those new to stock perps, they let you trade the price of stocks and ETFs with up to 50x leverage, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Cerebras Systems (CBRS): The AI Chip Challenger Taking on Nvidia
- Market Cap: ~$56.39B
- Return Since IPO (May 14, 2026): +38.4% from IPO price of $185
Cerebras Systems made one of the most explosive Nasdaq debuts in years, raising $5.55 billion, the largest US tech IPO since Uber in 2019, with shares surging 68% on its first day of trading. The company builds the world’s largest AI chips, designed to speed up model training and inference for enterprise clients, hyperscalers, and AI labs. Its flagship wafer-scale engine takes up an entire silicon wafer, reducing the latency and interconnect bottlenecks that slow down traditional GPU clusters.
Cerebras revenue surged from $290 million in 2024 to $510 million in 2025, which is a 76% jump, and the company swung to profitability, posting $88 million in net income after a $481 million loss the prior year. Its customers include OpenAI, Amazon, and Meta, and it’s now regarded as one of the few credible challengers to Nvidia in the AI hardware space. The stock has pulled back from its post-IPO peak but remains closely watched as institutional investors continue to build positions.
For traders, CBRS-PERP offers a direct way to position yourself for the AI chip race. Long if you think the infrastructure buildout continues, short if you expect a valuation correction.
Rocket Lab (RKLB): The Space Economy’s Breakout Stock
- Market Cap: ~$78.6B
- YTD Performance: +12.66%
Rocket Lab shares are up over 70% in the past year, making it one of the strongest performers across the entire US equity market over that stretch. The company operates two business segments, which are launch services and space systems, and has carved out a serious position in the small satellite launch market with a growing backlog of government and commercial contracts.
In its first quarter of 2026, Rocket Lab reported revenue of $200.35 million while cutting its net loss to $45.02 million. Deutsche Bank raised its price target to $120 from $73 in May 2026, and the company recently won a $90 million US Space Force contract to design and operate two geostationary satellites. Reports of potential orbital data center infrastructure and progress on its larger Neutron rocket have added further momentum.
RKLB-PERP gives traders 24/7 exposure to the commercial space sector, a market that moves fast on contracts, launches, and policy news.
URNM (Sprott Uranium Miners ETF): The Nuclear Energy Trade
- AUM: ~$2.09B
- YTD Performance: ~+13%
Uranium entered 2026 with renewed momentum as spot prices moved back above $100 per pound, mining equities repriced materially, and utility demand re-emerged following prolonged under-contracting. URNM is the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF. It is a fund that tracks a basket of global uranium mining companies, giving traders broad sector exposure in a single position rather than having to pick individual miners.
Tightening uranium supply, surging global demand from countries like India and China, and renewed nuclear policy support are among the key factors driving the bullish case for uranium prices. Nuclear energy has re-entered mainstream energy policy discussions as governments look for reliable baseload power to support AI data centers and the clean energy transition.
URNM-PERP lets you trade that macro theme directly, with USDT as margin.
Why Trade Stock Perps on BTSE?
Trading stock perpetual futures gives you several advantages over buying stocks the traditional way.
You can go long or short, use up to 50x leverage, and react to earnings reports or breaking news without waiting for a market to open. Your margin stays in USDT, so there’s no currency conversion or brokerage account required.
All three of these assets sit at the center of themes driving markets in 2026: AI infrastructure, the commercial space economy, and the nuclear energy revival. By trading them as perps on BTSE, you can access all three from a single wallet alongside your crypto positions.
