Global traders have four main ways to trade US stock exposure: international brokerages, CFDs, tokenized stocks, and stock perpetual futures. Perps do not give you shares, dividends, or voting rights. They give you USDC-settled price exposure. 10X makes that stock-perp workflow available from iPhone through Hyperliquid.
US stocks are global products, but brokerage access is not global. A trader outside the US may want to trade Apple, Tesla, or NVIDIA, but opening a brokerage account can be slow or unavailable.
That is why alternatives exist. Some give real ownership. Others give synthetic price exposure.
| Path | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| International brokerage | Real shares or CFDs | Long-term investing |
| CFD broker | Broker-issued derivative | Short-term trading |
| Tokenized stock venue | Token linked to a stock | Crypto-native access |
| Stock perps | USDC-settled price exposure | Long or short trading |
If you want to own the business, use a brokerage. If you want to trade the price, perps can be cleaner.
10X is not a brokerage. It is an iPhone and desktop app for Hyperliquid perps.
That makes it useful for active traders who want long or short exposure from one USDC balance, not long-term share ownership.
