Crypto perpetual futures

Crypto is where perpetual futures began. The crypto exchange BitMEX launched a bitcoin perpetual in 2016, and perps have since become the most traded crypto derivative. Graybook lists Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP and 16 more coins, priced on Coinbase in U.S. dollars.

On most crypto exchanges a perpetual stays close to spot through funding payments: every few hours, longs pay shorts when the perpetual trades above spot, and shorts pay longs when it trades below. The rate changes each time, so the cost of holding a position isn't known in advance.

Graybook does not charge funding. Each entry is priced with a fixed upfront basis, so the cost of holding a position is known the moment you open it. Crypto trades 24 hours a day, every day, and so do the perpetuals: there is no close and no re-anchoring.

Leverage is up to 25x on Bitcoin, 15x on Ether and 5x on the other coins. Sizes follow the coin: the smallest Bitcoin order is 0.1 BTC, so a $1,000 move in Bitcoin is $100 on the minimum position.
