Perpetual swap volumes surpassed spot trading due to their unique advantages in the crypto market. Unlike spot trading, perpetual swaps offer high leverage (up to 100x), amplifying potential gains without requiring full asset ownership. They lack expiration dates, unlike traditional futures, allowing traders to hold positions indefinitely without rollover costs. The funding rate mechanism keeps prices aligned with spot markets, enhancing liquidity and attracting speculators. Additionally, perpetuals enable short-selling and hedging, appealing to diverse strategies. These features, combined with deep liquidity and continuous trading, have driven their dominance, with daily volumes often exceeding spot markets by multiples, especially in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
