Zoomex Expands Beyond Crypto With Derivatives, Automation and Yield Products

A crypto exchange broadens its trading menu

Crypto exchanges are seeking to keep more trading activity inside their own platforms by adding exposure beyond digital assets. Traditional-asset trading through six major crypto exchanges reached $1.45 trillion in the first half of 2026, based on CoinGecko research. Zoomex is part of that expansion: the company says it has more than three million registered users across over 35 countries and regions and is extending its business beyond derivatives.

The pitch is straightforward: someone following Bitcoin and a company such as Nvidia could access both markets without switching between a crypto venue and a stock broker. Zoomex TradFi lets users take positions linked to Nvidia’s share price using USDT, and the offering also covers ETFs and commodities. That changes where the trade can be made, but not what the user receives: the contracts are derivatives, not ownership of the underlying assets.

Zoomex describes a broader catalogue that includes more than 590 perpetual contracts and over 700 trading pairs across its products. The figures indicate the range of instruments the platform says it supports, not how easily every contract can be traded. The platform also includes prediction markets, where users can speculate on outcomes such as cryptocurrency prices or sporting events. These offerings put different types of exposure under one exchange interface.

One account, but different kinds of exposure

The distinction between shares and stock contracts matters in practical terms. A person buying a traditional stock owns a share, while Zoomex’s contracts provide price exposure and do not grant shareholder rights. The contracts are settled in USDT and support long or short positions, leverage and trading around the clock, as described in the source material. Those features change how a position is opened and managed; they do not turn it into share ownership.

Zoomex’s Trading Account brings spot and derivatives trading together, and its cross-margin rules can let eligible balances and unrealised profits support other positions. This may give a trader more flexibility in managing collateral across trades, but it also links their outcomes. A loss in one position can affect the collateral available to support another. As a result, a single account can make exposure less compartmentalised, even when the positions involve different markets.

The all-in-one approach therefore has a trade-off beyond convenience. Users can access crypto, traditional-asset derivatives and other products within one platform, but they must distinguish each product’s mechanics and risks rather than treating them as interchangeable. The source provides no breakdown of how Zoomex users divide activity among these offerings or of the liquidity of each individual contract. The available figures describe product breadth, not the experience of every trader.

Automation adds a new layer of decision-making

Zoomex also offers tools that can influence how trades are selected or executed. Its Strategy Center lets users examine historical strategy performance, while grid bots automatically trade within preset price ranges. Copy Trading follows another trader’s positions. These functions can reduce the need to enter every order manually, but they do not establish that a strategy will work in future conditions or prevent losses when prices move outside a planned range.

The exchange says it uses AI to improve order routing and offers an MCP connection through which compatible AI assistants can retrieve market information and prepare orders. In the workflow described to BeInCrypto, a human must confirm the order. That leaves a distinction between software gathering information or assembling a proposed transaction and an agent having authority to make the decision. The article does not specify the connection’s availability, limits or supported assistants.

Zoomex marketing director Fernando Lillo Aranda argued that exchanges will compete for AI agents acting for users in five years. That is a view about where competition may go, not a settled outcome. BeInCrypto’s research into AI payments found that 14 of 19 reviewed products could spend or trade within preset human limits. The figure highlights the importance of permission settings, but it does not show that every reviewed product or Zoomex’s MCP connection operates in the same way.

Convenience does not remove platform and product risks

The platform’s broader services extend beyond trading. Zoomex Savings offers yield on eligible deposits, while Launchpad provides access to allocations of new tokens; VIP tiers offer reduced trading fees. These features may encourage users to keep funds on the exchange between trades, but they introduce separate conditions and risks. The source notes that some Savings or Launchpad commitments can lock funds, so money placed in those products may not remain immediately available for other uses.

Other risks arise from the trading products themselves. Automated strategies can lose money, and leveraged positions can be liquidated. Cross-margin arrangements can also transmit the effect of a loss to collateral supporting another position. Combining these features with multiple asset categories in one account increases the importance of understanding what is held, what is pledged as collateral and what restrictions apply. The source does not provide product-by-product terms or explain how users’ exposure is displayed.

Zoomex publishes proof-of-reserves disclosures, and Hacken has released a report on a penetration test of the web platform. The exchange also reports money-services registrations in Australia and North America. As of November 6, CoinGecko rated Zoomex 7/10 for trust and assessed its spot liquidity as Low; the liquidity assessment did not cover derivatives. Those details offer context, but do not settle how liquid every product is or how the combined model will perform as use expands.
