FAQ
Crypto Perpetual Futures are derivative contracts that allow trading of cryptocurrency price movements without an expiry date, enabling indefinite position holding. Contract prices track an underlying index price through funding rate mechanisms.
Leverage lets traders control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital. B2TRADER offers leverage up to 10000x on perpetual futures — margin requirements depend on instrument, position size, and account settings. Higher leverage amplifies both potential returns and risks.
Perpetual futures have no set expiration date, so positions can be held as long as margin requirements are met. They trade 24/7, support long and short strategies, and use funding rates to keep contract prices aligned with spot markets — without the rollover costs of dated futures contracts.
Perpetual futures carry market risk, leverage risk, and funding cost exposure. Rapid price movements can trigger margin calls or liquidations on leveraged positions. Funding rates can add to holding costs or provide earnings depending on market direction and position side.
Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short positions designed to keep the perpetual contract price close to the spot index. A positive rate means longs pay shorts; a negative rate means longs receive payments. Rates are displayed in the B2TRADER interface so traders can factor them into position decisions.
