What are perpetual futures?
Perpetual futures are a type of derivative contract that allows traders to speculate on the future price of an asset without an expiration date. Unlike traditional futures, they do not have a set settlement date, allowing positions to be held indefinitely as long as margin requirements are met.
How do perpetual futures differ from traditional futures contracts?
The primary difference is the absence of an expiry date. Traditional futures have a fixed expiry, after which they are settled. Perpetual futures use funding rates to keep their price pegged to the underlying asset's spot price.
What is a funding rate in perpetual futures?
The funding rate is a small payment exchanged between long and short positions at regular intervals. It helps to keep the perpetual contract's price close to the underlying asset's spot price. If the perpetual price is higher than spot, longs pay shorts, and vice-versa.
What risks are associated with trading perpetual futures?
Perpetual futures involve significant risks, primarily due to leverage. High leverage can amplify both gains and losses, potentially leading to rapid liquidation of positions if the market moves against the trader. Other risks include smart contract risk and platform-specific risks.
How do perpetual futures DEXs work?
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) for perpetual futures allow users to trade these contracts directly from their cryptocurrency wallets without needing to deposit funds with a centralized custodian. They typically use smart contracts to facilitate trading, manage collateral, and execute liquidations, offering greater transparency and user control.
