Injective&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://blog.injective.com/en/injective-launches-the-tradfi-index-to-bring-the-largest-publicly-traded-stocks-on-chain/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">introduced</a> the&nbsp;TradFi Stock Index, an on-chain index tracking hundreds of major publicly traded companies, including&nbsp;Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs.
This marks a significant milestone in&nbsp;bringing legacy finance into the blockchain space while enabling global,&nbsp;permissionless access to equity markets.
The&nbsp;TradFi Stock Index is available on&nbsp;Helix, Injective’s decentralized exchange (DEX). Unlike traditional markets with limited trading hours, this on-chain index allows users to trade stocks&nbsp;24/7 with up to&nbsp;25X leverage.

According to the Injective team, Injective’s latest index aims to&nbsp;break down barriers in equity trading by offering several key advantages:
<h3 id="span-span-strong-1-24-7-trading-strong-span-span">1. 24/7 Trading</h3>
Traditional stock markets operate within set hours, limiting access for global investors. The TradFi index on Helix eliminates this constraint, allowing users to trade equities&nbsp;anytime, anywhere.
<h3 id="span-span-strong-2-high-leverage-strong-span-span">2. High Leverage</h3>
The market allows traders to use&nbsp;up to 25X leverage, enabling sophisticated trading strategies that are usually available only in high-end financial institutions. Investors can take long or short positions to manage risk.
3. Permissionless Access
Unlike conventional stock markets that require brokerage accounts and regulatory compliance, Injective’s index is&nbsp;fully decentralized. Users can&nbsp;trade without intermediaries, making stock market exposure&nbsp;accessible to a global audience.
<h3 id="span-span-strong-4-hedging-and-diversification-strong-span-span">4. Hedging and Diversification</h3>
Traders can take&nbsp;long or short positions on the&nbsp;broader U.S. stock market, providing new hedging opportunities. The index gives exposure to multiple blue-chip stocks, helping users diversify risk in a decentralized setting.

 “By bringing the most sought-after traditional finance markets on-chain, we’re not just creating a new trading product; we’re redefining what’s possible in decentralized finance,” Eric Chen, CEO and co-founder of Injective Labs.

Injective’s goal is to&nbsp;tokenize all financial assets, making them tradable&nbsp;on-chain without restrictions. This vision aligns with the growing trend of&nbsp;DeFi disrupting legacy financial systems.
This move follows Injective’s&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://blog.injective.com/en/injective-pioneers-the-convergence-of-on-chain-stocks-and-crypto-with-groundbreaking-ai-index-product-2/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recent launch</a> of the&nbsp;AI Index Perpetual Market (AIX), which combines AI-related equities and crypto assets.&nbsp;
