DESCRIPTION:Will Gornall\n\nUniversity of British Columbia\n\nHow Short-Ten
 or Perpetual Futures Solved Crypt’s\n	Noise Trader Problem\n\nDate: Friday\

 1 Sherbrooke St. West)\, Room 340\n\nAll are cordially invited to attend.
 \n\nAbstract:\n\nMost cryptocurrency trading uses perpetual futures contra
 cts. We show empirically and theoretically that these contracts outcompete
 d standard futures by reducing noise trader risk. Standard futures contrac
 ts worked poorly in cryptocurrency markets because liquidations and price-
 insensitive speculators pushed futures prices far from their underlying's.
  Perpetual futures reduced this noise trader risk by strengthening arbitra
 ge pressure using funding rate payments. This form of contract quickly dom
 inated the crypto market\, increased liquidity\, and caused noise trader r
 isk to become non-priced. We argue that this mechanism of relaxing limits 
 to arbitrage could reduce tail-risk for conventional futures products subj
 ect to volatile\, price-insensitive demand shocks.\n
