• KuCoin Futures listed four new stock-index perpetual contracts tracking Wendy’s (WEN), Tempus AI (TEM), Direxion’s Daily Small Cap Bear 3X Shares (TZA), and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX)
• All four contracts, listed as WENUSDT, TEMUSDT, TZAUSDT and GDXUSDT, opened for trading at 9:00 UTC on October 30, 2026
• KuCoin’s specifications table lists a maximum of 20x leverage across the four contracts, with the exchange reserving the right to adjust parameters based on market risk

KuCoin Futures published a new-listing announcement on October 30, 2026 at 14:01, adding four stock-index perpetual contracts that let traders take leveraged positions tied to the price of specific US-listed equities and exchange-traded funds without holding the underlying shares. The announcement covers WENUSDT, tracking Nasdaq-listed Wendy’s Company, TEMUSDT, tracking Nasdaq-listed Tempus AI, TZAUSDT, tracking the NYSE Arca-listed Direxion Daily Small Cap Bear 3X Shares, and GDXUSDT, tracking the NYSE Arca-listed VanEck Gold Miners ETF.

All four contracts opened for trading at 9:00 UTC on October 30, 2026. KuCoin’s specifications table lists leverage from 1x up to a maximum of 20x for each of the four, a notably higher ceiling than the 8x cap the exchange set on its Victoria VR perpetual listed the day before, reflecting the deeper liquidity and lower volatility typically associated with large, exchange-traded equity products compared with a single metaverse token.

The inclusion of TZA, a fund that is itself already triple-leveraged and designed to move inversely to small-cap stocks, means traders using KuCoin’s TZAUSDT perpetual on top of that underlying leverage are effectively stacking two layers of amplification on their exposure, a combination that can produce outsized swings in either direction relative to the small-cap index TZA is built to track.

This listing continues a pattern KuCoin has followed through much of October, periodically rolling out new batches of stock-index perpetual contracts covering a mix of individual companies and leveraged or sector-specific ETFs, giving its futures customers continuous, round-the-clock access to price exposure on assets that otherwise only trade during US stock market hours.

As with its other recent futures listings, KuCoin’s announcement notes that leverage limits and other contract parameters may be adjusted after launch depending on market conditions. The exchange has now rolled out several rounds of these stock-index contracts over successive weeks, each batch adding a handful of new tickers rather than a single large launch, a steady cadence that has let KuCoin build out a broad menu of equity and ETF exposure available around the clock without overwhelming traders with dozens of new products at once. The full specifications are published on KuCoin’s own announcement page.
