Pepperstone Expands Perpetual CFD Suite Beyond SpaceX to Metals, Indices and Oil

Pepperstone said it will broaden its perpetual CFD lineup beyond its live SpaceX contract into gold, silver, stock indices and oil products, positioning the offering around 24/7 trading demand. However, only the SpaceX perpetual CFD (SPCX.US-PERP) is currently live; the metals, index and energy versions remain roadmap items with no launch dates disclosed. The broker is marketing perpetuals as standard CFDs with funding payments, not exchange-traded crypto perps, and argues that continuous market access better fits modern trading behavior. The announcement is mainly a product expansion story rather than a direct market-moving event for the underlying assets, but it signals growing broker interest in repackaging popular perpetual mechanics for traditional instruments. Regulatory context is important: EU rules already treat perpetual futures as CFDs, meaning retail leverage caps still apply and the new products would not bypass existing restrictions.
