Trade overview — execution venues
Alphio does not execute trades itself. Every order goes to an outside venue — your own brokerage for stocks, or an on-chain venue through a wallet in your name — and each venue has its own balance, funding and fees.
Find it at: Crypto Trade (/crypto-trade), Stock Trade (/stock-trade) and Prediction (/social-trade) in the left menu on the web; the Trade tab in the mobile app.
1. The venues
| Venue | What you trade | Where your money sits | How you get set up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broker (stocks) | US stocks | Cash at your broker | Robinhood directly, or one of seven brokers through SnapTrade |
| Hyperliquid (Perps) | Perpetuals on crypto, plus the stock, commodity, index, FX and pre-IPO markets listed on Hyperliquid | USDC in the Hyperliquid account of your Alphio wallet | Deposit, then trade — trading access is set up for you the first time you deposit or place an order |
| Tokens | Solana meme coins, and blue-chip crypto where the Crypto list is shown | Your Alphio wallet | A wallet is set up for you when you first trade |
| Polymarket | Prediction market events | pUSD in your Polymarket deposit wallet | Connect Polymarket, which authorises Alphio to sign Polymarket trades for you |
These venues are independent. Each has its own balance, and you can use any combination of them at once.
KuCoin, Kraken and OKX are no longer offered as new connections. If you connected one of them earlier, it still appears on your account page, where you can see its balances and positions or disconnect it, and you can still trade it from that exchange's market page.
2. How to choose
Use Stock Trading when you want to hold real shares in your existing brokerage, with regulated execution and standard tax reporting through your broker.
Use Perps (Hyperliquid) when you want leveraged exposure, long or short, without holding the underlying — on crypto, or on the stock, commodity, index and FX markets Hyperliquid lists.
Use Tokens for on-chain spot trades: Solana meme coins, and blue-chip crypto where the Crypto list is available.
Use Polymarket when you want exposure to event outcomes — elections, macro prints, sports, crypto milestones — rather than asset prices. Positions settle at event resolution, and each share pays at most $1.
3. Where you place orders
There is no single order form that covers every venue.
On the web:
| Menu | Address | What's there |
|---|---|---|
| Crypto Trade | /crypto-trade | Tokens (meme coins and blue-chip crypto) and Perps (Hyperliquid) tabs, plus Agent Warrior, Leaderboard and Feed |
| Stock Trade | /stock-trade/<symbol> | US stock page with the order ticket in the right column. /stock-trade on its own reopens the last stock you viewed |
| Prediction | /social-trade | Polymarket leaderboard, trending events, near-settlement portfolio and watchlist |
Crypto Trade and Stock Trade remember the page you left, so returning to either menu takes you back where you were. Their order in the menu follows the asset you said you trade most during onboarding.
In the mobile app: the Trade tab has Stock, Tokens, Perps and Prediction views.
Per venue:
- Stocks — the Trade panel on a stock page, or the trade action on a signal card. See Stock order ticket.
- Hyperliquid perpetuals — pick a market under Crypto Trade ▸ Perps; the order panel sits on the right. Older Hyperliquid market links open here. See Hyperliquid Perpetuals.
- Tokens — the buy / sell panel on a token page under Crypto Trade ▸ Tokens. See Meme coins.
- Polymarket — the order ticket on an event page. See Prediction Markets.
- KuCoin, Kraken, OKX (earlier connections only) — the trade panel on that exchange's market page.
4. Availability
Some venues are not available everywhere, because the venues themselves restrict who they serve. Your region is read from your IP address.
- Polymarket is blocked in a number of regions, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, mainland China and Macau, as well as Ontario and parts of Ukraine. This cannot be waived.
- Hyperliquid is not offered in the United States, mainland China, Macau, Myanmar, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Ontario and parts of Ukraine.
Where a venue is unavailable, its order button is replaced by a notice that it isn't available in your region. Broker availability depends on which countries your individual broker serves.
5. Connecting
