What Are USDT Perpetual Futures?

Before diving into execution, it’s important to understand how USDT perpetual futures work.

Perpetual contracts are derivatives that:

• Track the underlying asset price
• Have no expiry date
• Use funding rates to anchor price to spot markets
• Allow both long and short positions

This structure gives traders flexibility, especially in volatile markets.

Unlike spot trading, you don’t need to own Lobstar, PUNCH, or OPN to trade their price movements.

Strategy Tips for Trading New Perpetual Listings

New listings like Lobstar, PUNCH, and OPN often experience high volatility during initial launch periods.

Here are practical strategies:

1. Watch Volume and Funding Rates
