What Are Stock Perpetuals?

Unlike traditional stock trading, Stock Perpetuals do not involve the actual purchase or sale of the underlying U.S. stocks. You do not own the real shares, and these contracts do not grant voting rights, dividend rights, or any other shareholder rights. They are purely price-tracking trading instruments.
