What Arcus does

• Buy and sell stock tokens around the clock with 0% spot fees
• Trade equity and crypto perpetuals (perps beta rolling out by waitlist)
• Hold pTokens: ERC-20 shares of managed leveraged perp accounts (e.g. HOOD 3x)
• Trade via REST/WebSocket API or an MCP server

Trading fees on perps; pTokens are minted by Arcus and traded in Uniswap v4 pools.

Arcus issues leveraged and inverse exposure to crypto and tokenized stocks as ordinary tokens — pHOOD3x, sBTC3x, sBTC and similar — each an ERC-4626 vault behind a beacon proxy. Holding one gives you the leveraged position without a margin account or a liquidation price to watch, and redemptions run through an async request-and-settle flow. Leverage tokens decay in choppy markets, so they suit short holding periods rather than buy-and-hold. Its perpetuals exchange keeps collateral in an Arcus USDG vault, which held about $32.4M USDG deposited by roughly 361 wallets as of 1 October 2026; the vault's shares sit with a single bridge contract, so positions and profit and loss are not visible on chain. The pTokens held about $956k and trade in Uniswap v4 pools, most of the activity in pHOOD3x. Apart from the USDG vault, Arcus's contracts are not source-verified.
