What are Perpetual Futures (Perps)?
If you only traded spot, Perps might sound confusing. They're not.
You can use Perps to go long, short, or trade with leverage – all without owning the actual token.
Let's break it down👇
www.blum.io/post/what-are-perps
⚖️ Spot vs Futures vs Perps
・ Spot: you buy the coin and hold it
・ Futures: you bet on price going up or down, but the contract has an expiry
・ Perps: same as futures, but no expiry
You can hold a Perp position as long as you want.
ℹ️ So how do Perps work?
You open a position:
📈 Long if you expect the price to rise
📉 Short if you expect it to fall
No need to own the token.
You can also use leverage (borrow from the exchange) – e.g. $100 → $1,000 with 10x. But remember: you can lose more than you invested.
🧠 What's the funding rate?
It's a fee paid between traders.
・ If more people are long → longs pay shorts
・ If more people are short → shorts pay longs
This helps keep the Perp price close to the real market price.
🙇♂️ Why do people use Perps?
・ To protect their holdings from drops (hedging)
・ To bet on price going down (shorting)
・ To trade bigger with small balance (leverage)
・ To catch small moves in the market (scalping)
It gives more control than just holding tokens.
And the juiciest part: Blum is bringing Perps straight to Telegram ✈️
✳️ Long and short trades

Perps can make you rich – or wipe your balance in minutes.
Leverage, liquidation, emotional swings – they’re not for unprepared traders.
As we get ready to launch Perps in Blum, let’s break down the real risks and rewards most traders won’t tell you 👇
💚 Let’s start with why traders love Perps:
✲ You can profit when prices go up or down
✲ You can use leverage to increase position size
✲ You don’t need to own the asset
✲ No expiry = hold as long as you want
✲ Deep liquidity on big trading pairs
Sounds great, right?
💔 But here’s the other side:
✲ Leverage amplifies losses just as fast as profits
✲ One bad move can trigger liquidation and wipe your position
✲ Funding fees can slowly eat into your PnL
✲ Volatility works against you if you're not ready
One wrong move can cost everything.
😱 What most traders don’t tell you: Perps mess with your emotions.
Perps trading often leads to emotional traps:
✲ FOMO
✲ Revenge trades
✲ Overconfidence
✲ Chasing losses after liquidation
This is where most beginners lose – not on charts, but in their heads.
🤔 So should you trade Perps? Maybe – but only if you’ve mastered the basics:
✲ Use low leverage
✲ Set stop-losses
✲ Risk small amounts
✲ Never trade emotionally
Without discipline, even the best setups fall apart.
👨🏫 There’s a reason Perps are both loved and feared.
Used right, they give traders an edge.
Used wrong, they lead to fast losses.
Soon, Perps will be easier to access than ever – coming to Blum, directly inside Telegram.
That’s why understanding the risks matters more than ever.
