Venue coverage from each exchange's own public market-list endpoint, snapshot 2026-10-07. Tickers are reproduced exactly as the venue publishes them. Where a venue doesn't publish a leverage cap without an authenticated key, this table says so rather than estimating one.
How the venues differ for KAITO
Leverage caps differ: ApeX Omni allows up to 50x on KAITO where Hyperliquid caps at 5x. If the ceiling matters to you, ApeX Omni is the higher one — though the liquidation math is the same at whatever multiple you actually run.

How trading KAITO perps works here
Like every Hyperliquid perp, KAITO-USD trades on a fully on-chain central limit order book with no gas fee per trade — costs are the maker/taker fee (fee schedule) plus hourly peer-to-peer funding. Margin can be cross or isolated; maintenance margin is half the initial margin at this market's 5x cap — the full liquidation math is in our leverage & liquidation guide.
At 5x maximum leverage, initial margin for a KAITO position is 1/5 of notional at minimum — and the higher the leverage, the closer liquidation sits to entry. New to the instrument entirely? Read perpetuals explained first, and our Hyperliquid review for the venue itself, including the risks.
KAITO's 5x cap is on the cautious side of Hyperliquid's range. It's enough leverage to amplify a move without the thin margin buffer of the majors — a ceiling the exchange tends to set on markets with real but limited depth.
KAITO also trades on Aster, Lighter, edgeX, Paradex, Pacifica, GRVT, Variational and ApeX Omni. Fee schedules and funding mechanics are set per venue, not per asset — compare them on fee comparison and live funding rates, and see the feature comparison for order types, collateral, and everything else each venue supports.
