What are USDT-M perpetual crypto futures?

Perpetual futures are futures contracts with no fixed expiration date and price. There is also a mechanism that keeps the futures price close to the asset’s price on the spot market, unlike classic futures contracts. WhiteBIT is a crypto futures exchange and currently offers USDT Bitcoin futures. USDT-M means that USDT is the base currency for settlements, and the prefix M means that trading with leverage is available for this type of contract.

How do perpetual cryptocurrency futures work?

Perpetual cryptocurrency futures are similar to our exchange's current margin trading mechanics: users can open Long and Short positions and use leverage. The main difference is that users pay a fee for using borrowed funds not to the exchange but to each other. It can be positive or negative, depending on the current market situation. This payment is made every 8 hours for all active positions.

What are the benefits of crypto futures trading?

Trading crypto futures is popular due to the following advantages: - Low fees: on our exchange, they are lower than on the spot market. - High earning potential: you can trade futures with up to 20x leverage and increase your earnings using less of your own funds. - Risk management: you can hedge the risks by opening short positions on acquired assets - Strategy flexibility: through futures trading, crypto can bring you profit in a bear market or small price fluctuations.
