Perpetual Swap
@perpetualswap
A crypto perpetual swap actually implies a derivative that allows traders to get involved in betting on the price of an asset without actually owning it. It is different from regular futures contracts since it never expires, thus with respect to margin requirements, the traders have the freedom to keep their positions open as long as needed. Not to mention the possibility of using margin, the flexibility of this type of contract is also a huge positive factor that makes the trade easy for everyone who wants to make money or protect their assets. The funding rate is a additional important feature which is the swap rate ensuring that the price of swap is aligned with the actual market price of the asset.
