Which venue fills a SPY order?

AsterDex and Lighter all list it, and you choose per order. The app shows the market on each venue so you can compare before you send.

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.

SPY perps: long or short the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust from a self-custodial wallet

A SPY perpetual tracks the price of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust through an oracle and settles in USDC. You do not own fund shares and you do not receive its distributions or coupons. Funding between longs and shorts is the carry you pay or receive instead. As of September 2026 this market is carried by AsterDex and Lighter in our catalog, and the order ticket is the same one you use for every other market in the app.

Where a SPY order goes

SPY is listed on more than one of the venues we route to: AsterDex and Lighter. That is the argument for choosing a venue per order rather than per account, because funding, depth and fees on the same asset are not the same across venues. You hold one USDC balance and pick where the order fills.

What you are actually holding

You do not own fund shares and you do not receive its distributions or coupons. Funding between longs and shorts is the carry you pay or receive instead.

When this market is open

This market keeps US exchange hours. Outside them the app shows a closed state and blocks new orders, so a ticket never dies on-chain against a closed book. Existing positions persist through the close.

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.
