EWZS/USDT, MELI/USDT and SMR/USDT perpetual futures give crypto traders USDT-settled exposure to Latin American markets and nuclear energy
Bitrue Futures adds MercadoLibre (MELI), NuScale (SMR) and EWZS perpetuals today, with three new USDT-based perpetual futures pairs: MELI/USDT, SMR/USDT and EWZS/USDT. Trading will open at 12:00 UTC on Nov. 12, 2026. The contracts track the iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF, MercadoLibre and NuScale Power, and are settled in USDT, so traders can follow these markets directly from their Bitrue Futures account without leaving the crypto ecosystem. Full details are available in the Bitrue support announcement.
The three listings share two themes that have drawn growing interest from investors: the growth of Latin America’s digital economy and the search for new sources of clean, reliable energy. Two of the contracts are linked to Brazil and the wider region, while the third follows a company working on small modular nuclear reactors.
The New Pairs at a Glance
- EWZS/USDT: tracks the iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF, which gives exposure to small-cap companies in Brazil, one of Latin America’s largest economies.
- MELI/USDT: tracks MercadoLibre Inc., a NASDAQ-listed company and Latin America’s largest e-commerce and fintech platform.
- SMR/USDT: tracks NuScale Power Corp., an NYSE-listed company developing small modular nuclear reactors for clean energy.
All three contracts share the same specifications:
- Listing time: 12:00 UTC, Nov. 12, 2026
- Settlement asset: USDT
- Tick size: 2
- Maximum leverage: 20x
Brazil’s Small-Cap Market: EWZS/USDT
Brazil is one of the largest economies in Latin America, and much of its domestic growth story plays out in smaller companies rather than in the country’s largest exporters. The iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF holds a basket of these small-cap Brazilian companies, giving a broad view of the local economy in a single instrument.
The EWZS/USDT perpetual lets traders take a view on that market with USDT as collateral. Because it follows a diversified ETF rather than a single company, it offers exposure to Brazil’s small-cap segment as a whole.
Latin America’s E-Commerce and Fintech Leader: MELI/USDT
MercadoLibre is Latin America’s largest e-commerce and fintech platform and is listed on NASDAQ. Its business spans online marketplaces, logistics and digital payments across the region, which makes it one of the most closely watched companies for anyone following Latin America’s shift to digital commerce and financial services.
The MELI/USDT perpetual gives Bitrue Futures traders a way to follow that story with the same tools and account they already use for crypto futures.
Small Modular Nuclear Reactors: SMR/USDT
NuScale Power is listed on the NYSE and develops small modular nuclear reactors, a design intended to make nuclear power smaller, more flexible and easier to deploy than traditional large-scale plants. Small modular reactors have become part of the wider discussion about how to meet rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.
The SMR/USDT perpetual brings that theme to Bitrue Futures, giving traders USDT-settled exposure to one of the companies working in the sector.
How the Contracts Work
The three new pairs are perpetual futures, which means they have no expiry date. Each contract tracks the price of its underlying asset and is margined and settled in USDT, so traders do not need to hold US dollars or open a brokerage account to follow these markets.
It is important to note that these are derivatives. Traders who open positions in EWZS/USDT, MELI/USDT or SMR/USDT do not own the underlying shares or ETF units and do not receive dividends or shareholder rights. They gain or lose based on the contract’s price movements.
The contracts support leverage of up to 20x. Leverage increases both potential gains and potential losses, and positions can be liquidated if the market moves against them. Traders can find further details, including contract parameters, in the “Currency Information” section of the Bitrue futures trading page.
Expanding the Bitrue Futures Line-Up
The new listings add to the range of markets available on Bitrue Futures, alongside its crypto perpetuals and a growing suite of tokenized real-world assets on the platform. For traders who already manage crypto positions on Bitrue, the new contracts bring traditional market themes into the same account, settled in the same stablecoin.
“Many of our users follow traditional markets as closely as they follow crypto, but they want to trade from one account in USDT,” said a Bitrue spokesperson. “Adding contracts linked to Latin America’s leading companies and to the nuclear energy sector gives them access to some of the themes they are already watching, with the same tools they use every day on Bitrue Futures.”
How to Start Trading
Traders can access the new pairs in a few steps:
- Log in to Bitrue and open Bitrue Futures.
- Search for the pair: EWZS/USDT, MELI/USDT or SMR/USDT. Users can also go straight to the EWZS/USDT trading page.
- Check the contract details in the “Currency Information” section, including leverage limits and tick size.
- Set risk limits such as stop-loss orders before opening a position.
Futures trading involves significant risk, including the risk of losing more than the initial margin, and traders should only trade with funds they can afford to lose.
