Perpetuals Coins

Perpetuals, or perpetual futures, are derivative contracts that let traders take leveraged long or short positions on an asset's price without an expiry date. This category groups tokens tied to the protocols and platforms that offer perpetual trading, particularly decentralized exchanges built around this product. Their tokens are often used for governance, fee discounts, staking, or to share in the trading fees the platform generates. What unites them is exposure to demand for leveraged derivatives trading on-chain. To compare these projects, examine trading volume and open interest, the fees the protocol earns and how much flows to token holders, the design of the liquidity or insurance backstop, and the token's supply. The risks are significant on two levels. The protocols themselves carry smart-contract, oracle, and liquidation-engine risks, and poorly designed systems can suffer bad-debt events during volatile markets. Separately, the act of trading perpetuals involves leverage, which magnifies both gains and losses and can lead to rapid liquidation. Holding a platform's token is distinct from trading on it, but both depend on a market segment known for sharp volatility and elevated risk.

In cryptocurrency markets, a category groups together tokens and coins that share a common trait — the underlying technology they use, the blockchain ecosystem they are built on, the problem they aim to solve, or the way they are issued. The Perpetuals grouping shown here reflects the classification published by CoinGecko, a widely used independent market-data provider. The table above lists every Perpetuals asset in our database, ordered by market capitalization — the current price multiplied by the circulating supply — alongside the live price, the 24-hour change, a seven-day trend line, and 24-hour trading volume, a useful proxy for liquidity and market interest.
