Perps V1
Introduction
Perpetual Futures or perpetual contracts are a type of financial instrument without an expiration date, that belong to the category of derivatives.
Perpetual futures allow traders to speculate on the price movements of an underlying asset without the need for physical ownership, and are widely used in crypto as they allow one to amplify their position as well as implement hedging strategies.
On the other side, spot trading involves the immediate purchase or sale of financial assets, such as stocks, commodities, or cryptocurrencies, at the current market price. Unlike futures or options trading, spot trading settles quickly, allowing for immediate exposure to the asset. It's a straightforward way to capitalize on price movements without the complexities of future projections.
