Crypto 101 📚 Perpetual and Delivery Contracts
Perpetual contracts periodically pay or receive funding fees. The cost of holding a position long-term depends on the cumulative funding rate over the holding period.
Perpetual contracts have no expiry date, so you can hold a position indefinitely as long as it isn’t liquidated. The funding rate helps keep the contract price close to the spot price.
There’s no test for this lesson, but the market can give you a pop quiz at any time.
