What are futures & perpetuals?

A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specific date. Traders use futures to speculate on direction, hedge portfolio risk, or gain leveraged exposure to macro moves.

Perpetual contracts (perps) are a crypto-native innovation with no expiry date. Instead, a funding rate keeps the contract price anchored to the spot index — longs pay shorts (or vice versa) every few hours.

Our Futures Pro platform combines the depth of traditional derivatives with the speed of digital markets — unified margin, cross-collateral, and sub-20ms matching.

Futures vs CFDs — which is right for you?

Funding rate mechanism

Perp price > Index Longs pay shorts (+ funding) Perp price < Index Shorts pay longs (− funding) Every 8 hours · Funding = position size × rate Keeps perpetual price anchored to spot index
Perpetual mechanics

Understanding funding rates

Unlike CFD overnight swap, perpetual contracts use a funding rate exchanged directly between long and short traders — not paid to the broker.

When the perpetual trades above the spot index, demand for longs is high — longs pay shorts. When it trades below index, shorts pay longs. This economic incentive keeps prices aligned.

Funding is typically settled every 8 hours. Rates are displayed transparently before each interval so you can factor them into holding costs — essential for swing and position traders.

Risk engine

Cross & isolated margin

layers

Cross margin

Your entire futures wallet backs all open positions. Losses on one contract can use surplus margin from another — efficient for portfolios but requires active monitoring.

crop_square

Isolated margin

Risk is capped per position. Only the margin allocated to that trade is at risk. Liquidation of one position does not affect others — ideal for high-leverage scalps.

What is the difference between a future and a perpetual? expand_more
A dated future expires and settles on a fixed date. A perpetual has no expiry and uses funding rates to stay pegged to the spot index price.
What happens if I get liquidated? expand_more
When margin ratio reaches 100%, the liquidation engine closes your position at market to prevent negative balance. You lose the margin allocated to that position (isolated) or up to wallet balance (cross).
Can I hedge my spot crypto with futures? expand_more
Yes. Holding spot BTC and opening a short BTC-PERP neutralises directional exposure — a common institutional hedging strategy.
Are futures available in my region? expand_more
Derivatives availability depends on your jurisdiction and account tier. Complete KYC to see eligible products in your dashboard.
