A perpetual futures contract is a derivative contract with no fixed expiration date. Cross-margining allows multiple positions to jointly use account funds as margin.

This indicates that institutional clients may trade more perpetual futures related to traditional assets through the service, but the product’s actual scale and usage remain unclear.
Beginners should note that both perpetual futures and cross-margining may amplify losses and cannot simply be equated with directly purchasing stocks or commodities.
