summary

Explains that crypto derivatives now dwarf spot (Q2 2023 derivatives volume ≈ six times spot) and that perpetual futures account for roughly 90%+ of crypto derivatives volume, never expire, roll every eight hours and use a funding rate paid between longs and shorts to tether price to an index. Covers margin mechanics (initial vs maintenance margin), liquidation, examples of extreme leverage (up to 100x) and that regulated venues like CME/Bitstamp sit alongside large unregulated DEXs and offshore exchanges.
