Arcus Adds Stock Tokens and WETH as Collateral for Perpetuals

Arcus has introduced an early-access feature that accepts stock tokens and wrapped ether (WETH) as collateral for perpetual trading, according to The Defiant.

The mechanism automatically borrows USDG against the deposited assets. Its initial loan-to-value ratio is 50%, meaning the loan starts at half the value of the collateral.

Deposits in assets other than USDG are limited to $20,000 per account during early access.
