Perpetual markets (Perpetual Futures) are financial markets where you can trade an asset 24/7 without an expiration date. For example, in crypto: Spot: You buy BTC and own the BTC. Perpetual: You trade a contract that tracks BTC’s price—you don’t own the actual BTC.No expiry: Unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts don't have a fixed settlement/expiration date.Long: You profit if the price rises.Short: You profit if the price falls.Leverage: You can trade a position larger than your capital, which also increases liquidation risk.Funding rate: Traders periodically pay or receive funding depending on the market imbalance between longs and shorts. #Perpetual #crypto #perpetuals #PerpetualFutures #cryptotrading
