Bropetual Markets
Go long or short, scale your leverage, and hedge positions across multiple assets with perpetuals on bro.trade -- all under one roof.
Perpetual markets on bro.trade let you trade price movements of crypto assets without delivery of the underlying tokens. Unlike traditional futures, these contracts never expire. You can hold them indefinitely, adjusting your positions as markets shift.
A key mechanism called the funding rate keeps perpetual prices anchored to the underlying spot market.
Funding payments flow regularly between long and short traders:
When the perpetual’s price rises above the spot price, longs pay shorts.
When it drops below the spot price, shorts pay longs.
The interplay between longs and shorts via the funding rate mechanism encourages prices between the spot asset and corresponding perpetual market to realign, preventing perpetuals from drifting too far off their underlying asset’s value.
You can find a breakdown of the funding rate calculations here.
