ZUBR Perpetual Contracts
ZUBR Perpetual is a derivative product in the form of a future contract with no expiration date. Each ZUBR Perpetual is based on its corresponding proprietary composite ZUBR Index derived from the prices of instruments traded on a number different cryptocurrency spot markets with outliers filtered out.
To make the price of the ZUBR Perpetual closely follow the price of the underlying ZUBR Index we rely on an adjustment mechanism. If the price of ZUBR Perpetual is higher than that of the corresponding ZUBR Index, traders holding a long position will be paying a respective BTC compensation to the traders holding a short position every 5 minutes. The opposite logic applies when the price of ZUBR Perpetual is lower than that of the corresponding ZUBR Index. This price adjustment mechanism ensures that the price of the ZUBR Perpetual stays close to the underlying asset price even though ZUBR Perpetual is never actually settled.
