What is Blackstone?
Blackstone is an alternative asset manager that invests money from pension funds, insurers and wealthy individuals in private equity, real estate, credit and infrastructure. It earns management fees and a share of investment profits. Blackstone shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BX, and one contract references one share.
The xyz:BX perpetual tracks the share price of Blackstone, settles in USDC and never expires. It is listed on XYZ, a builder exchange: a market run by an outside team on Hyperliquid's order book. You can go long or short with up to 10× leverage, around the clock.

Size a BX trade from its stop
Hypurr Desk asks where your stop goes and how much of your account you are willing to lose there, then works out the size. An example at 119.15, from when this page was built:
- Account
- $1,000.00
- Risk
- 1% = $10.00
- Stop
- 2% below entry, at 116.77
- Size
- 4.15 BX ($494.24)
- Loss at the stop, fees included
- $9.99
- Leverage
- 10× isolated, $49.42 margin
The stop sets the loss, not the leverage: leverage only decides how much margin the position ties up. Move the stop and the size follows, so a wider stop means a smaller position and the same loss. The stop is placed on the exchange with the entry. How risk sizing works.
Questions about BX
What is the maximum leverage on BX?
10×. Hypurr Desk sizes each order from your stop, so the leverage follows from how much you choose to risk.
How often is funding paid on BX?
Every hour. When the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when it is negative, shorts pay longs. The current rate is shown at the top of this page.
What does it cost to trade BX on Hypurr Desk?
At the exchange's base tier, 0.034% of the position value for market orders and 0.028% for limit orders that rest on the book, including the 0.025% Hypurr Desk fee. There is no subscription and no sign-up.
Can I trade Blackstone when its home market is closed?
Yes. The perpetual trades around the clock, every day, including weekends and holidays. Prices can jump when the main market reopens, so a stop may fill away from its price.
Do I own Blackstone when I trade this market?
No. A perpetual tracks the share price of Blackstone and settles gains and losses in USDC. You never hold any shares, and positions can be closed out if losses use up their margin.
