Navigating Perpetual Futures and Asset Locking
Perpetual Futures Contracts, renowned for their distinctive characteristic of lacking an expiry date, have long been a staple in the financial landscape. These contracts create a binding agreement between buyers and sellers, mandating the sale of an asset on a fixed future date at a predetermined price, irrespective of the asset’s market value at that time.
The Ethereum community witnessed a similar 13-month low in perpetual futures Open Interest just a few days ago, on August 23, 2023, at $1,283,378,499.67. This recurrent pattern suggests potential shifts in market sentiment and trading strategies.
