What is Yield AI?
Perpetual futures, or perpetual swaps, are widely used derivative contracts in the cryptocurrency market. Unlike traditional futures contracts, which have a fixed expiration date, perpetuals don't have an expiration date, making them a valuable instrument for traders to speculate on the future price of assets, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
In addition, in trading, going long, or buying, is a strategy where traders purchase an asset with the expectation that its value will increase over time, while going short, or selling short, is a strategy where traders sell an asset with the hope that its value will decrease in the future. Going short is often employed by traders who believe that a particular asset is overvalued and will eventually decline in price.
