What Exactly is a Perpetual Swap?
Perpetual Swap is a peer-to-peer, virtual derivative developed by OKEx to enable traders to capitalize on the up or down direction of the price of digital assets. It is similar to futures contract, but with no expiry, and settlement occurs daily.
Each swap contract has a notional value of of between $100 for BTC and $10 for other digital assets on OKEx. Users can go long a position to profit from the increase of a digital asset’s price, or short a position to profit from the decline of a digital asset’s price. The leverage can go as high as 100x.
