[Axi](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0002t7o/axi) is expanding its perpetual futures offering into traditional financial markets, extending access to eligible clients beyond its existing cryptocurrency lineup. The Sydney-based broker said on October 22, 2026 that the expansion runs through the Axi Trading Platform and MetaTrader5 (MT5), according to [GlobeNewswire](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/22/3386227/0/en/axi-expands-perpetual-futures-offering-into-traditional-markets.html).

## Axi's TradFi Perpetual Futures on MT5

Traditional financial markets have historically operated around established trading sessions, with access shaped by exchange opening hours, closing times and holidays. Perpetual futures take a different approach: traders can speculate on price movements without taking ownership of the underlying assets and without the fixed expiry dates attached to conventional futures contracts.

Unlike traditional futures contracts, which expire on a predetermined date, perpetual futures carry no contract expiry date or rollover requirement. Positions can be opened on either side of the market, allowing traders to take long or short positions based on their market outlook. Periodic funding rates provide a mechanism associated with the pricing of perpetual contracts.

Axi said the expansion enables eligible clients to access traditional financial markets 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends. Greg Lunz, Head of New Product and Innovation Growth at Axi, said, "Expanding perpetual futures into traditional markets gives eligible clients greater flexibility in how they access and engage with familiar asset classes. By bringing 24/7 trading to TradFi markets through the Axi Trading Platform and MT5, we're building on our existing offering to give clients more choice in how they approach changing market conditions."

TradFi perpetual futures are accessible to eligible Axi clients through the Axi Trading Platform and MT5, subject to applicable eligibility requirements and product availability. Axi said clients can visit the official Axi website to explore available instruments, contract specifications and account options.

## Axi's Regulated Reach and Platform Scale

Axi secured a Financial Services Commission (FSC) license in Mauritius in June 2026, extending its regulated trading presence into Mauritius, an internationally connected financial centre serving high-growth markets across Africa, the Indian Ocean, and parts of Asia, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show Axi launched a Buy Crypto feature in March 2026, enabling traders to buy, sell, or hold cryptocurrencies directly on the Axi platform without leverage. Axi serves traders across more than 100 countries globally with localized platforms in multiple languages.

## Axi's Recent Product and Brand Moves

Axi launched an MCP integration connecting eligible MT5 accounts to Claude, allowing clients to access live market data, track positions, execute trades, and update risk parameters, Financial Post reported in October 2026. In August 2026, FinanceFeeds reported that Axi redesigned its website, giving the Axi Select funded-trader programme its own homepage section and listing over 650 instruments, crypto perpetuals and copy trading. GlobeNewswire reported in October 2026 that Axi refreshed its brand with Warsaw-based Properly Studio, keeping the logo and red color while redesigning the rest.
