Perpetual futures contracts are financial instruments that track the underlying asset (in this case, SHIB) but don’t have a fixed settlement date. Traders can now speculate on SHIB’s price movements in more ways than just traditional spot trading. Perpetual futures allow using leverage, which magnifies potential returns (and losses).
Perpetual futures markets can attract a wider range of traders, potentially leading to increased liquidity for SHIB. This translates to tighter bid-ask spreads and potentially smoother price discovery. Tighter spreads mean the difference between the price a buyer is willing to pay (bid) and the price a seller is willing to accept (ask) is smaller, reducing transaction costs.
Smoother price discovery refers to the process by which the market establishes a fair price for an asset, and perpetual futures can help to ensure that this process is more efficient.
