Cryptocurrency exchanges RateXYZ and Gate.io have launched perpetual futures contracts tracking Chinese semiconductor firm CXMT, enabling foreign investors to bypass mainland China's stock market access restrictions ahead of CXMT's Shanghai listing. The move highlights how crypto derivatives are increasingly blurring boundaries between unregulated crypto markets and traditional financial assets.
