Contract Trading | What’s the difference between perpetual and delivery contracts?
Perpetual contracts have no expiry date, so positions can be held long-term as long as they aren’t forcibly liquidated. Funding rates help keep contract prices close to spot prices.
The premium of delivery contracts over spot is often seen as reflecting funding costs and market sentiment, not as a prediction of the price at expiry.

Don’t rush into a trade just because everyone else is doing it.
