Most people think perpetual and expiry contracts are simple, but this is what really matters:
Expiry contracts have no funding fees. The price difference between the contract and spot price is called the basis, and as expiration approaches, the basis usually tends toward zero.
Expiry contracts align their price with the spot price through settlement at expiration. Perpetual contracts don’t expire, so funding fees play a similar role.
If you hold an expiry contract, keep an eye on its expiration date. As expiration approaches, decide in advance whether to close your position or roll it over to the next contract.
Add the price at the end: $BTC quoted at 78400, 24h +0.89%.
