# Multi-Asset Expansion

> Roadmap for expanding beyond crypto to stocks, forex, ETFs, commodities, and more

## Vision

ClyptQ currently supports **crypto markets** across 7 exchanges (Binance, Bybit, Gate.io, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken, Aster). The next phase expands the platform to cover **all tradable asset classes** — enabling the same `TradingSpec` framework to trade stocks, forex, futures, commodities, ETFs, and options.

The same operator graph that runs a crypto momentum strategy will run an equity factor model. Change the `TradingSpec`, not the code.

## Asset Classes

## Architecture

All new asset classes use the same `TradingSpec` → `TradingDriver` → `StatefulGraph` pipeline:

```python theme={null}
# Crypto (current)
SymbolSourceMap({"binance:futures": ["BTC/USDT", "ETH/USDT"]})

# US Stocks (planned)
SymbolSourceMap({"alpaca:stock": ["AAPL", "GOOG"]})

# Forex (planned)
SymbolSourceMap({"oanda:forex": ["EUR/USD", "GBP/USD"]})

# Futures (planned)
SymbolSourceMap({"ibkr:futures": ["ES", "NQ", "CL"]})

# Cross-asset (planned)
SymbolSourceMap({
    "binance:futures": ["BTC/USDT"],
    "alpaca:stock": ["AAPL"],
    "oanda:forex": ["EUR/USD"],
})
```

**Execution routing** already supports decoupling data source from execution venue:

```python theme={null}
SymbolSourceMap(
    source_symbols={"tiingo:stock": ["AAPL", "GOOG"]},
    execution_routing={
        "tiingo:stock:AAPL": "alpaca:stock",
        "tiingo:stock:GOOG": "alpaca:stock",
    }
)
```
