Perpetual futures reshape 24/7 trading on major crypto exchanges
Market participants are increasingly seeking continuous access to trading as perps grow in popularity, raising new operational and oversight pressures for exchanges.
CNBC Markets reports that perpetual futures, commonly called perps, are increasingly reshaping how crypto trading works, with investors pushing for continuous, around-the-clock access.
The outlet describes perps as a factor disrupting existing exchange models, as trading demand shifts toward products that allow positions to remain open without traditional contract expiries.
As a result, exchanges face heightened urgency to address the challenges associated with running 24/7 markets, including reliability and security, as perps become more central to day-to-day trading activity.
CNBC Markets characterizes the change as an existential challenge for parts of the industry, framing the current moment as a rapid transition toward “continuous access” trading driven by perp adoption.
