Learn › Tiger Brokers Alternative 2026
After the CSRC's May 22, 2026 ruling against Tiger Brokers, millions of Chinese retail investors are looking for a new way to access S&P 500, TSLA, NVDA, and other US equities. Crypto perpetual futures offer a 24/7 alternative — no brokerage approval, no VPN, no compliance friction.
Start Trading on NYXANCE →Tiger Brokers, listed on NASDAQ (TIGR) and popular among Chinese retail traders for its low fees and bilingual interface, became one of the first major online brokers to face direct regulatory action under Beijing's renewed enforcement of cross-border securities rules in 2026.
For users who relied on Tiger Brokers to access Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, S&P 500 ETFs, and US tech stocks, the practical impact is immediate: no new deposits, restricted withdrawal timelines, and uncertainty about the platform's long-term viability for mainland users.
Futu Securities (owner of Moomoo), Interactive Brokers China, and other platforms face heightened scrutiny under the same regulatory framework.
Crypto perpetual contracts — also called perps — are derivative instruments that track the price of an underlying asset without requiring ownership of the asset itself. Platforms like NYXANCE offer perpetual futures on US stock indices and individual equities, settling in USDT.
Perpetual futures are derivatives. You do not hold shares of Apple or Tesla. You hold a position that tracks the price. For Chinese investors whose primary goal is price exposure to US tech — not dividends or shareholder rights — this distinction is usually acceptable.

Log into Tiger Brokers and initiate a withdrawal to your linked bank account or Hong Kong brokerage. Processing times may be extended during the rectification period — submit early. If you hold US equities, consider selling to cash before withdrawing.
Once funds are in your bank, purchase USDT on a compliant exchange (Binance, OKX, or your local P2P market). USDT is the primary settlement currency on NYXANCE. Most users convert 80–100% of their trading capital to USDT.
Go to nyxance.com/signup. Registration requires only an email address and takes under 2 minutes. No identity documentation is required for basic trading access.
Deposit your USDT to your NYXANCE wallet. Navigate to nyxance.com/futures to browse the 500+ perpetual contracts, including S&P 500, TSLA, and NVDA tokenized perpetual futures.
Perpetual futures use funding rates and liquidation mechanics that differ from equity trading. Start with 1x–2x leverage and read the platform documentation on funding rates before increasing exposure.
NYXANCE operates as a crypto derivatives exchange offering perpetual contracts denominated in USDT. These are crypto-native derivative products, not securities. Users are responsible for understanding the regulatory framework in their own jurisdiction.
NYXANCE has announced plans to list tokenized equity perpetual futures, including S&P 500 index perps and single-stock perps for TSLA and NVDA. Subscribe at nyxance.com/futures for launch notifications.
NYXANCE charges 0.02% for maker orders and 0.06% for taker orders on perpetual futures. Tiger Brokers charged approximately $0.005 per share plus platform fees, which at typical retail trade sizes equates to comparable or higher all-in costs.
Existing Tiger Brokers accounts for mainland Chinese users should remain accessible for viewing and closing positions. New deposits and new account registrations are the most affected by the CSRC ruling.
NYXANCE has no minimum deposit requirement. You can begin trading perpetual futures with as little as $10 equivalent in USDT, though meaningful position management is more practical with $100 or more.
500+ perpetual contracts. 24/7 trading. Instant USDT settlement. No brokerage approval required.
