# USDC-Perpetuals

## Overview

USDC-Perpetuals are linear perpetual futures contracts where profits and losses are settled in USDC, making them simple, stable, and ideal for precision trading. Traders can long or short a wide range of crypto assets using USDC as margin—no need to manage volatile collateral. This system removes conversion risk and offers clearer PnL tracking for traders.
