// SPY-USDC FAQ

What is the maximum leverage for SPY-USDC on SilkDEX?

20x. The SPY-USDC perpetual has a 5% initial margin requirement and a 2.5% maintenance margin; larger positions need more margin, so the usable leverage drops as size grows.

How often is funding paid on the SPY-USDC perpetual?

Every 8 hours. Longs pay shorts when the rate is positive and shorts pay longs when it is negative; the rate is capped at ±2% per interval. The live rate and countdown are shown in the trading terminal.

Can I trade SPY-USDC on weekends or outside market hours?

Yes — trading stays open 24/7, but the price reference follows US stock extended hours: around the clock Monday to Friday (New York time). While that market is closed (weekends and market holidays) the terminal shows “Market off”: you can still trade, but the index price is frozen at its last value, liquidity is thinner, and the price can gap when the underlying reopens.

What does it cost to trade SPY-USDC on SilkDEX?

The standard fee is 0.1% maker / 0.1% taker on the notional value of each fill — 1 USDC on a 1,000 USDC taker fill — shown in the order panel before you confirm. Open positions also pay or receive funding every 8 hours.

Who lists the SPY-USDC market?

mythos, a builder on Orderly Network. SPY-USDC is a community-listed market created through Orderly's Perp Anything program: the lister chooses its price sources and trading parameters, runs its market-making setup — so liquidity depends on the lister — and funds its own insurance fund. Orderly runs matching, margin and settlement.

What is the minimum order size for SPY-USDC?

$10 of notional. Orders are margined and settled in USDC.

How do I trade SPY-USDC perpetual futures on SilkDEX?

Connect an EVM or Solana wallet on any of 12 supported chains, deposit USDC, open the SPY-USDC market and place a market, limit or stop order, long or short. The contract tracks the SPDR S&P 500 ETF; you don't own the underlying or receive dividends.
