SUIUSDT Perpetual Contract: Trade with Precision and Power
Perpetual contracts have become a cornerstone of modern crypto derivatives trading due to their flexibility and 24/7 availability. The newly launched SUIUSDT perpetual contract offers traders a robust instrument for gaining leveraged exposure to SUI’s price with no expiry date.
Contract Specifications
- Underlying Index: SUI/USDT
- Settlement Currency: USDT
- Contract Size: 1 SUI per contract
- Price Quotation: Quoted in USDT per 1 SUI
- Tick Size: 0.0001 USDT (minimum price movement)
- Leverage Range: 0.01x to 75x (adjustable based on position size and risk level)
- Trading Hours: 7 days a week, 24 hours a day
These specifications ensure precision pricing and accessibility for both retail and institutional traders.
Funding Rate Mechanism
To maintain price alignment between the perpetual contract and the underlying spot market, OKX employs a funding rate mechanism:
Funding Rate = Clamp(MA(((Bid + Ask)/2 – Spot Index)/Spot Index – Interest), –0.75%, 0.75%)
Where Interest = 0
This formula ensures that the contract price tracks the spot index closely while preventing extreme divergence. The moving average (MA) smooths out short-term volatility, making funding rates more predictable.
Special Funding Rate Adjustment at Launch
To ensure market stability during the initial phase:
- From May 5, 2023, 12:00 to May 5, 2023, 24:00 (HKT): Funding rate cap is limited to 0.03%.
- After May 5, 2023, 24:00 (HKT): The predicted funding rate cap returns to the standard 1.50%.
- First Actual Funding Fee Collection: Occurs at 16:00 HKT on May 6, 2023.
This temporary measure protects early participants from unexpected funding costs during price discovery.
All other trading rules—including order types, liquidation mechanisms, insurance funds, and fees—align with OKX’s standard USDT-margined perpetual contract framework. For full details, see the OKX Perpetual Swap Trading User Agreement.
