$BTC PERPS STILL A SPECULATIVE TOOL AS INSTITUTIONAL DEMAND LAGS - JPMORGAN 📉
JPMorgan notes that perpetual futures remain primarily a speculative instrument rather than an alternative to traditional derivatives for institutions. The majority of volume comes from traders chasing leveraged directional exposure, not hedging demand.
Basis risk, lack of term structure, and the absence of traditional clearing guarantees are the key barriers cited. This means the perp market's liquidity profile may be more fragile than many assume.
Are you using perps or avoiding them given the structural concerns?
Not financial advice. Always manage your risk.
