OG.com Markets certifies SEI perpetual futures, listing expected by October 12
In brief
- OG.com Markets certified USD-settled SEI perpetual futures on October 8, per Crypto Briefing.
- SEI perpetual contracts were expected to list by October 12.
- Funding is calculated every eight hours; the minimum order is 100 SEI.
- SEI joins BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP with CFTC-regulated US perpetuals, the outlet reported.
What the contracts look like
According to Crypto Briefing's report, the SEI contracts carry no expiration and settle in US dollars against a reference index that tracks SEI's spot price. Nobody gets tokens. (No SEI is delivered to traders at any point under the contracts.) Funding is calculated every eight hours, and the minimum order is 100 SEI.
That's a small ticket.
With SEI trading between $0.06 and $0.066 in mid-October, a minimum position works out to a few dollars, the outlet noted. Eligible participants can go long or short, so the product works for speculation and for hedging. A project treasury or a fund holding SEI could theoretically use short positions to offset downside risk without selling its tokens, according to the report.
How perpetuals work
A perpetual futures contract has no expiration date. There's no settlement to roll into. Instead, funding payments flow between traders betting on price increases and traders betting on declines, and those payments exist to keep the contract price anchored near the underlying spot price.
Leverage cuts both ways. Perpetuals typically involve it, and on a smaller, more volatile token it can amplify losses as quickly as gains.
A short list (and a thin market)
SEI now sits alongside BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP as one of only five crypto assets with CFTC-regulated perpetual futures on a US platform, Crypto Briefing reported.
The venue itself is new under this name. OG.com Markets, formerly known as CDNA, was spun out of Crypto.com in September 2026 in a deal valued at approximately $5 billion, per the outlet. It's also been exploring other lines, such as single-stock perpetual futures.
Activity isn't there yet, though. Crypto Briefing described the broader regulated perpetual futures market as limited, with open interest in the tens of millions of dollars.
