Three new names just went live on BTSE’s stock futures market: Marvell Technology, the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE), and BlackBerry.
Each one sits at the center of a distinct macro theme that traders are actively positioning around in 2026. This article breaks down what makes each asset compelling and how you can start trading them as stock perpetual futures using USDT, apply up to 50x leverage across these contracts, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Why Stock Perpetual Futures With Leverage Are Gaining Traction
Traditional equity markets have fixed hours, require fiat onboarding, and don’t let you short easily without a margin brokerage account. Crypto traders already understand perpetual futures from trading BTC-PERP or ETH-PERP, and stock perps bring that same structure to real-world equity themes. Leverage trading stock futures means your capital works harder: a 5% move in the underlying can translate to a much larger gain or loss, depending on your position size and leverage ratio.
That’s precisely why position sizing and risk management matter. Leverage amplifies both directions, so understanding the underlying asset is essential before trading. The multi-asset collateral system also lets you manage exposure across crypto and stock perps from a single margin pool, which simplifies portfolio management for traders holding mixed positions.
Marvell Technology (MRVL-PERP): Trade AI Infrastructure With Stock Perpetual Futures
- Market Cap: ~$179B
- YTD Performance: +122%
Marvell Technology is a semiconductor company that designs data infrastructure chips spanning data center cores, optical interconnects, and custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). For traders exploring stock perpetual futures, MRVL is one of the most direct ways to gain leveraged exposure to the AI infrastructure buildout because it builds the specialized chips that hyperscale cloud companies like Amazon and Microsoft use to run their AI workloads, and the high-speed hardware that connects all those chips inside a data center.
In Q1 fiscal 2027, Marvell reported record revenue of $2.42 billion, beating consensus estimates and prompting management to significantly raise its guidance for fiscal years 2027 and 2028. Total company revenue could approach $15 billion in fiscal 2028, according to analyst projections cited by Bloomberg, representing roughly 40% annual growth.
For traders, MRVL sits at the intersection of two major AI infrastructure buildout themes: custom XPU chip demand from hyperscalers and the optical interconnect market, where Marvell’s components manage data movement at speeds of 800G and beyond. The stock is up more than 120% year to date, and multiple investment banks raised their price targets following the Q1 earnings release, like Bank of America. MRVL-PERP lets you position around those catalysts long or short, at any hour.
State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE-PERP): Leverage Trading the Energy Sector’s 2026 Comeback
- Market Cap (AUM): ~$38.7B
- YTD Performance: +27.5%
The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) tracks U.S. energy companies within the S&P 500, concentrating primarily on large integrated oil and gas majors. It is one of the most liquid sector ETFs in the world, making it a widely used vehicle for investors wanting broad U.S. energy exposure without picking individual stocks.
What makes XLE interesting in 2026 is that it has outperformed expectations despite WTI crude trading in a range around $64, a level that would historically have pressured energy earnings. Analysts attribute the rally to a market rotation into value and income-generating sectors, strong cash flow from Exxon Mobil and Chevron, and geopolitical supply risks keeping a premium baked into oil prices. Full-year 2026 energy sector earnings growth consensus topped 25%, a dramatic upward revision from where estimates started the year.
Stock leverage trading on an ETF like XLE gives you exposure to the entire sector basket in a single position. Rather than analyzing individual company earnings, you’re trading the macro thesis: energy security, crude price direction, and the capital allocation decisions of the world’s largest oil companies. XLE-PERP is ideal for traders who want to take a position on energy sector momentum with the flexibility of 24/7 crypto market hours.
BlackBerry (BB-PERP): A Stock Perp Built for Catalyst-Driven Traders
- Market Cap: ~$5.3B
- YTD Performance: +46%
Most people still think of BlackBerry as a phone company. The reality in 2026 is entirely different, and for traders using stock perps to position around software turnarounds, BB has become one of the more compelling names on the board.
BlackBerry is now a pure-play software business with two growth engines: QNX, which is embedded operating system software used in automotive systems and industrial IoT (Internet of Things) devices; and Secure Communications, which includes its AtHoc platform, the only critical event management cloud system holding FedRAMP Class D (High) certification for U.S. federal agencies.
QNX revenue reached a record $78.7 million in fiscal Q4 2026, up 20% year over year, and the company has now posted four consecutive earnings beats. CIBC Capital Markets raised its BlackBerry price target to $8.50 and maintained an Outperform rating in May 2026, citing clearer visibility into profitable growth across both divisions. Management also authorized a share buyback of approximately 26.8 million shares, roughly 4.6% of the public float, signaling confidence in the underlying business.
For leverage traders, BlackBerry is a sentiment-driven, catalyst-heavy name. It moves sharply on earnings, analyst ratings, and contract announcements from QNX’s automotive partners, which now include collaborations tied to NVIDIA and Intel hardware for robotics and physical AI applications. BB-PERP gives you 24/7 access to that volatility with USDT as margin, something no traditional brokerage currently offers.
