Which is better on a trading platform: futures contracts or perpetual contracts?
In cryptocurrency trading, futures contracts and perpetual contracts are two common derivative instruments. Each has its own characteristics and is suitable for investors with different risk appetites and trading strategies. Perpetual contracts have no expiration date and can be held indefinitely; they are anchored to the spot price through a funding rate mechanism and typically offer higher liquidity and leverage. Futures contracts, on the other hand, have a fixed expiration date and are settled in cash upon expiration; the basis between their price and the spot price tends to converge as the expiration date approaches. The choice between these two contract types depends on the trader’s specific needs and assessment of the market.
