๐ Crypto-Style Perpetual Futures Are Expanding
Perpetual futures have become a major part of cryptocurrency trading.
Unlike conventional futures, these contracts do not have a fixed expiration date.
Funding payments help keep their prices aligned with the underlying market.
Platforms associated with crypto derivatives have helped popularize continuous trading.
The model is now attracting interest in markets beyond cryptocurrencies.
This creates new opportunities for traders seeking exposure outside traditional market hours.
But leverage can magnify losses, and liquidation may happen quickly during volatile conditions.
Funding costs, liquidity, and position size deserve close attention.
More trading opportunities also mean more ways to lose money.
