Perpetual contracts, or perps, are a key tool for advanced crypto traders, offering flexibility, leverage, and the ability to trade without owning the underlying asset. But how do they compare to spot trading and traditional futures?

In this video, we break down:

✔ What perpetual contracts are and how they work
✔ How they differ from spot markets and traditional futures
✔ The benefits of perps, including leverage, flexibility, and no expiration
✔ The funding rate mechanism that keeps perps aligned with the real asset price
✔ Unlike spot markets, where traders own the asset, or traditional futures, which have expiration dates, perpetual contracts blend the best of both worlds—allowing traders to go long or short with no set end date.

💡 Why trade perps?
✔ Leverage: Control larger positions with a fraction of the cost
✔ Hedging: Adjust exposure without holding the asset
✔ No Expiry: Hold positions indefinitely
