How GME perpetuals work
A GME perpetual tracks the live price of GameStop 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 GME nights, weekends and holidays.
A small funding rate is exchanged between longs and shorts to keep the GME perp price tethered to the real GameStopshare price. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts; when it's negative, shorts pay longs. Right now GME funding is +5.5% APR.
