BRENT perps: long or short Brent crude oil from a self-custodial wallet
A BRENT perpetual tracks the price of Brent crude oil through an oracle and settles in USDC. There is no storage, no delivery and no contract roll. The perp tracks the oracle price and settles in USDC, which is the whole point for a directional trader who never wanted the physical. As of September 2026 this market is carried by Ostium in our catalog, and the order ticket is the same one you use for every other market in the app.

What you are actually holding
There is no storage, no delivery and no contract roll. The perp tracks the oracle price and settles in USDC, which is the whole point for a directional trader who never wanted the physical.
When this market is open
Metals and energy trade nearly around the clock on weekdays with short maintenance breaks, and close over the weekend. The app blocks new orders while the market is closed.
Custody stays with you
Margin sits in a self-custodial embedded wallet, keys stay on your device, and Hypertradeworx never takes possession of your funds. Signing happens on your side for every order, which is also why the app can route to several venues without you holding an account at any of them.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I own Brent crude oil when I trade this market?
- There is no storage, no delivery and no contract roll. The perp tracks the oracle price and settles in USDC, which is the whole point for a directional trader who never wanted the physical.
- Which venue fills a BRENT order?
- Ostium. Hypertradeworx routes the order there and shows the position next to the rest of your book.
- Can I short BRENT?
- Yes. Long and short are symmetric on a perpetual: the same ticket, the same margin either way, and no borrow to locate. That symmetry is the main practical reason to use a perp rather than buying the underlying.
- Do I need an account or KYC with the venue?
- No venue account. You trade from a self-custodial wallet funded with USDC. Whether the product is available to you, and any obligations that follow, depend on your jurisdiction and are yours to check.
