What Happened
Bitrue Futures adds MercadoLibre (MELI), NuScale (SMR) and EWZS perpetuals today, with three new USDT-based perpetual futures pairs: MELI/USDT, SMR/USDT and EWZS/USDT. Trading will open at 12:00 UTC on Nov. 12, 2026. The contracts track the iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF, MercadoLibre and NuScale Power, and are settled in USDT, so traders can follow these markets directly from their Bitrue Futures account without leaving the crypto ecosystem. Full details are available in the Bitrue support announcement.
The three listings share two themes that have drawn growing interest from investors: the growth of Latin America’s digital economy and the search for new sources of clean, reliable energy. Two of the contracts are linked to Brazil and the wider region, while the third follows a company working on small modular nuclear reactors.
Market Context
EWZS/USDT, MELI/USDT and SMR/USDT perpetual futures give crypto traders USDT-settled exposure to Latin American markets and nuclear energy
EWZS/USDT: tracks the iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF, which gives exposure to small-cap companies in Brazil, one of Latin America’s largest economies.
Brazil’s Small-Cap Market: EWZS/USDT
Brazil is one of the largest economies in Latin America, and much of its domestic growth story plays out in smaller companies rather than in the country’s largest exporters. The iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF holds a basket of these small-cap Brazilian companies, giving a broad view of the local economy in a single instrument.
The EWZS/USDT perpetual lets traders take a view on that market with USDT as collateral. Because it follows a diversified ETF rather than a single company, it offers exposure to Brazil’s small-cap segment as a whole.
MercadoLibre is Latin America’s largest e-commerce and fintech platform and is listed on NASDAQ. Its business spans online marketplaces, logistics and digital payments across the region, which makes it one of the most closely watched companies for anyone following Latin America’s shift to digital commerce and financial services.
The three new pairs are perpetual futures, which means they have no expiry date. Each contract tracks the price of its underlying asset and is margined and settled in USDT, so traders do not need to hold US dollars or open a brokerage account to follow these markets.
It is important to note that these are derivatives. Traders who open positions in EWZS/USDT, MELI/USDT or SMR/USDT do not own the underlying shares or ETF units and do not receive dividends or shareholder rights. They gain or lose based on the contract’s price movements.
Why It Matters
The New Pairs at a Glance
MELI/USDT: tracks MercadoLibre Inc., a NASDAQ-listed company and Latin America’s largest e-commerce and fintech platform.
Details
SMR/USDT: tracks NuScale Power Corp., an NYSE-listed company developing small modular nuclear reactors for clean energy.
All three contracts share the same specifications:
Listing time: 12:00 UTC, Nov. 12, 2026
Settlement asset: USDT
Tick size: 2
Maximum leverage: 20x
Latin America’s E-Commerce and Fintech Leader: MELI/USDT
The MELI/USDT perpetual gives Bitrue Futures traders a way to follow that story with the same tools and account they already use for crypto futures.
Small Modular Nuclear Reactors: SMR/USDT
NuScale Power is listed on the NYSE and develops small modular nuclear reactors, a design intended to make nuclear power smaller, more flexible and easier to deploy than traditional large-scale plants. Small modular reactors have become part of the wider discussion about how to meet rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.
The SMR/USDT perpetual brings that theme to Bitrue Futures, giving traders USDT-settled exposure to one of the companies working in the sector.
