How AAPL perpetuals work
A AAPL perpetual tracks the live price of Apple without ever expiring. Instead of buying shares through a broker during market hours, you open a leveraged position on-chain that settles in stablecoins — so you can trade AAPL nights, weekends and holidays.
A small funding rate is exchanged between longs and shorts to keep the AAPL perp price tethered to the real Appleshare price. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts; when it's negative, shorts pay longs. Right now AAPL funding is -18.5% APR.
