No. The 10-year single-contract structure is designed to reduce frequent rollovers; traders can hold positions longer without periodic contract roll, although funding mechanics will still apply to align to spot.
Bitnomial launched the first US perpetual futures contracts in April, followed by Coinbase with nano Bitcoin and nano Ether perpetual futures in July. These launches predate Cboe’s long-dated continuous futures announcement.
