All stock perps currently listed on LeverUp now support leverage of up to 100x. Tesla, Nvidia, MSTR — same ceiling across the board. No name carries a lower cap than another.
Why Stock Leverage Is Usually Tiered
On most perpetual futures platforms, leverage limits aren't uniform across assets. Large-cap equities might allow 25x or 50x. Less-followed names get 5x or 10x. The ceiling varies by name, and the reason is structural.
In liquidity-pool-based systems, the depth of the pool sets the practical leverage limit on each market. Thinner markets — where an LP pool is smaller or where rebalancing is harder — force lower caps. The pool can't absorb adverse selection without tightening parameters to protect its own solvency. This can result in lower leverage limits regardless of an individual trader's market thesis.
The result is a fragmented experience: two tiers of markets, two tiers of leverage access, with different leverage ceilings across markets based on available pool liquidity and risk parameters.
One Ceiling Across All Names
LeverUp's protocol-managed virtual liquidity architecture doesn't source liquidity from an external LP pool. Open interest scales with protocol risk parameters rather than with the size of an externally supplied LP pool — which means the leverage ceiling on any given market isn't a direct function of LP depth or pool capitalization per name.
The upgrade sets a single ceiling: 100x, applied to all currently listed stock perps. Nvidia, Tesla, MSTR, and the rest of the listed names all carry the same maximum. Traders don't need to check which tier a stock falls into before sizing a position, and there's no restricted-cap friction when rotating between names.

What Changes for Traders
Access is uniform, not tiered. The same leverage ceiling applies to every listed stock. Position sizing is a risk decision, not a platform constraint.
The upgrade is live and is not a time-limited promotion. 100x is now the structural ceiling for the stock perp markets on LeverUp, applied at the protocol level.
Funding rate dynamics still apply. Higher open interest on any given name will affect its funding rate — as with all perpetuals. Positions held over time carry funding cost that compounds. For a detailed breakdown of how funding rates work on LeverUp, see Cubic OI Funding Model.
Risk Considerations at High Leverage
At 100x, a 1% adverse move against the position equals the full initial margin. A few mechanics to understand before trading at high leverage:
LeverUp does not apply a separate liquidation penalty fee under the current protocol parameters. The protocol closes the position when maintenance margin is breached.
AnyCollateral positions carry two independent risk vectors. If you're using a Monad ecosystem token as margin on a stock perp, both the trade itself and the collateral token's price can trigger liquidation independently. A sharp move in the collateral token can force a close even if the underlying trade is directionally correct.
Position size, not max leverage, is the primary risk control. 100x is the ceiling, not a default. Effective risk management at high leverage starts with sizing.
