Perpetual futures: In active development

We have been shipping updates one by one, and you have likely noticed the pace. We have already teased P2P trading, launched a new EXMO Coin landing page, and delivered a fresh Whitepaper. Now it is time to open the next door.

We are not sharing launch dates yet, but we can share what perpetual futures will bring to your toolkit and why we are building them.

What perpetual futures are

Perpetual futures (often called “perps”) are derivatives contracts that let you speculate on an asset’s price without an expiry date. Unlike classic futures, they do not “settle” on a fixed day. The position stays open until you close it, get liquidated, or the platform rules trigger a close.

They are used by traders who want more flexibility than spot can offer, especially when the market moves fast.

Why traders use perpetual futures

Perps are popular because they unlock strategies that are hard (or impossible) to run efficiently on spot alone.

What they are built for:
▪️Hedging spot exposure. If you hold an asset for the long term, perps can help you protect against short-term drawdowns without selling your position.
▪️Short positions. You can potentially benefit from downside moves, not only rallies.
▪️Leverage for capital efficiency. For traders who understand risk, leverage can help allocate capital more actively across ideas (with strict risk management).
▪️Faster strategy execution. Perps can be a more direct tool for momentum trades, intraday setups, and tactical positioning.
▪️One product, no expiry stress. Without expiry dates, there is no need to roll contracts or rebuild positions just because the calendar says so.

We are not sharing timelines yet, but development is active and moving. Keep an eye on our official channels for the next updates, product teasers, and guides.
