Frequently Asked Questions
- Does trading META give me any of the rights of owning Meta stock?
- No. META is a synthetic perpetual with no delivery mechanism or arbitrage bridge to Meta'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 Meta listed, and in what currency does META trade?
- Meta is a U.S. company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, and its common stock trades in U.S. dollars. META's price already reflects that USD-denominated stock, with no currency conversion involved.
- How is META different from other names, like GOOGL?
