Frequently Asked Questions
- Does trading AMZN give me any of the rights of owning Amazon stock?
- No. AMZN is a synthetic perpetual with no delivery mechanism or arbitrage bridge to Amazon's actual shares. It gives price exposure only — there are no shareholder rights, no dividends, no voting rights, and no claim on the underlying stock.
- Where is Amazon listed, and in what currency does AMZN trade?
- Amazon is a U.S. company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, and its common stock trades in U.S. dollars. AMZN's price already reflects that USD-denominated stock, with no currency conversion involved.
- How is AMZN different from other names, like EBAY?
- AMZN operates its own retail inventory and logistics network alongside a major cloud-computing business (AWS). EBAY, by contrast, is a pure marketplace — it connects third-party buyers and sellers without holding its own retail inventory or operating a comparable cloud business.
