How trading TSM works here
The TSM market lives on Hyperliquid, a decentralised platform, as a perpetual future that tracks the TSMC price. Based is the self-custody wallet you trade it from, not a broker. You get price exposure, long or short, with leverage available. You do not own the underlying share, so there are no dividends and no voting rights. Like every perp, positions carry liquidation risk, and funding fees apply while they are open.
Getting in takes a self-custodial wallet and USDC. No brokerage account, no bank account, no application. Wondering how that compares to your current platform? See Based vs Interactive Brokers.
Fees are flat and public: stock perps start at 0.011% taker and 0.005% maker, all-in, before any staking discounts. The full schedule is on the fees page.
