A perpetual contract in crypto is a derivative trading instrument that allows investors to profit from both upward and downward price movements. It does not have a specific expiry date, enabling traders to hold positions indefinitely. Traders can use leverage to amplify potential profits, but this also increases the risk of significant losses if the market moves against their position.
