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