2024

SynFutures, a decentralized derivatives protocol, has launched perpetual contracts that allow users to trade the 2024 U.S. election.
On Sept. 19, SynFutures <a href="https://x.com/SynFuturesDefi/status/1836744481540104587" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">posted on X</a> that the two perpetual contracts on the upcoming U.S. election would allow users to bet on the winner’s rate. The USDC (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/usd-coin/">USDC</a>)-paired trading contracts focus on who will emerge victorious between Vice President Kamala Harris and former U.S. president Donald Trump.

Perpetual futures contracts offer a crypto derivative instrument that traders use to speculate on the future price of an underlying digital asset. These contracts in the crypto space typically involve assets like Bitcoin (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>), Ethereum (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">ETH</a>) or other coins.
Traders can speculate on any supported contract without owning the asset directly. Perpetual futures, unlike traditional futures contracts, do not have an expiration date.
