About NASDAQ 100 Index

The NASDAQ 100 holds the largest non-financial companies on the exchange, weighted heavily enough toward big tech that a handful of names drive most of the index. Treat it as a sector bet with an index label rather than as diversification.

How to trade QQQ here

1

Mint L/S Tokens

Deposit stablecoins to receive paired QQQ-L and QQQ-S tokens.

2

Pick a side

Sell the leg you don't want. Keep L to be long, S to be short.

3

Take it elsewhere

Post it as collateral on a lending market, or trade it on any Solana DEX.

When you can trade it

24/7 on Continuum (vs. NASDAQ 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET)

The Nasdaq 100 is concentrated enough that one after-hours report can move the whole index. Megacap earnings, all of them after the bell, do more to this index in a week than a month of ordinary sessions.

The two legs

QQQ-L (Long Token)

Rises when NASDAQ 100 Index does. Hold it as long as you like: there is no funding and no carry on the long leg.

QQQ-S (Short Token)

Rises when NASDAQ 100 Index falls, which is what makes it a hedge. The short leg carries a volatility decay, so it is not free to hold.
