What if you could trade NVIDIA stock, Brent crude, and Bitcoin — all from the same wallet, without touching a foreign brokerage or dealing with remittance paperwork? That’s exactly what Giottus has just made possible for 1.3 million Indian users.
Chennai and Bengaluru-based Giottus has expanded its Futures platform beyond crypto by launching perpetual contracts across US equities, metals, and energy products — all settled in USDT from a single margin account. It’s a quietly significant moment for Indian retail trading.
What’s Now Available on Giottus Futures?
The expansion covers three major asset categories, all structured as USDT-settled perpetual contracts tradable 24/5:
| Asset Class | Available Contracts |
|---|---|
| US Equities | TSLA, NVDA, GOOGL, META, AMZN, MSTR, PLTR, HOOD, CRCL, INTC |
| Metals | Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Copper, Tether Gold |
| Energy | Brent Crude, WTI Crude, Natural Gas |
Several of these — Platinum, Palladium, and Tether Gold in particular — remain largely unavailable across most Indian trading venues. Giottus is one of very few platforms bringing them under a single, accessible framework for domestic users.
Why This Is a Big Deal for Indian Traders
Accessing US markets traditionally meant navigating foreign brokerage onboarding, outward remittance documentation under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme, and currency conversion costs. That friction alone kept many retail traders away.
Giottus sidesteps all of that. With a single USDT collateral pool, users can now:
- Hedge crypto positions during Federal Reserve policy announcements
- Express views on US tech earnings through NVDA or GOOGL perpetuals
- Offset inflation uncertainty through gold or crude oil contracts
- Trade macro narratives like the Bitcoin-MicroStrategy correlation or stablecoin trends via Circle (CRCL)
No platform switching. No separate accounts. No currency conversion layers.
“Markets no longer move in isolation. Crypto traders increasingly respond to the same macro signals that influence equities, commodities, and rates.” — Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus

The Data Behind the Decision
This isn’t a product launch built on speculation — Giottus’s own platform data tells the story clearly:
- 12% growth in derivatives participation over the past six months
- 45% of active futures traders engaged with macro-catalyst assets — Fed meetings, earnings seasons, commodity volatility
- 15% surge in futures trading volumes during major global market events
Indian traders are already thinking like macro traders. Giottus has simply built the infrastructure to match that behaviour.
A Unified Trading Layer, Not Just Another Feature
What Giottus is building here is less a feature addition and more a structural shift. By placing equities, commodities, energy, and crypto under one collateral framework, the platform is positioning itself as a unified global trading layer — something that has existed for institutional traders for years but has rarely been accessible to retail users in India at this scale.
With 550+ listed digital assets, multilingual support across eight Indian languages, and FIU registration under PMLA regulations, Giottus already had the compliance and scale. This expansion adds the asset breadth.
