Terms & Concepts
  • Perpetual Contracts: A type of cryptocurrency derivative similar to a futures contract but without an expiration date, allowing traders to hold positions indefinitely.
  • Leverage: The use of borrowed capital to increase the potential return of an investment, which also magnifies the potential loss.
  • USDT-M Futures: A type of futures contract that uses USDT as the margin and settlement currency, enabling traders to manage multiple pairs with shared account equity.
