Let your users go long or short on stocks, commodities, FX, and pre-IPO — with leverage, 24/7.
Perpetual futures, explained
A perpetual future — or “perp” — is a contract that tracks an asset's price without ever expiring. Unlike traditional futures that settle on a fixed date, perps let traders hold positions indefinitely. No rollovers, no settlement windows.
This unlocks something powerful: the ability to go long or short on stocks, commodities, currencies, and pre-IPO names with leverage, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Traditional markets close at 4 PM on Fridays. Perps never stop.
