Ethereum Classic perpetual futures market

When Ethereum hard forked in 2016 to reverse the DAO hack, Ethereum Classic kept the original, unaltered chain. It remains one of the largest proof-of-work smart contract networks, since Ethereum itself moved to proof of stake in 2022. Perps let traders short or hedge ETC without selling coins, and give miners a way to protect revenue against a falling price.

Price action often follows ether and the wider market, with occasional bursts around mining news, exchange listings or proof-of-work narratives. Binance carries the biggest share of volume, followed by OKX and WhiteBIT, while Gate holds a large block of open interest. A jump in open interest during a quiet market can signal leverage building ahead of a move, and ETC has a history of sharp, short-lived rallies.

What is Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum blockchain that continued after the 2016 fork that reversed the DAO hack. It runs Ethereum-style smart contracts, is secured by proof-of-work mining, and follows the principle that recorded transactions should never be altered. ETC is its native coin.

How is ETC different from ETH?

ETC and ETH share history up to 2016 but are separate chains with separate coins. Ethereum moved to proof of stake in 2022 and has a far larger ecosystem, while Ethereum Classic stays proof of work with block rewards that shrink over time. Coinperps also covers ETH perps.

Does ETC have a supply cap?

Yes. Ethereum Classic's monetary policy cuts the block reward by 20% every five million blocks, which caps total supply at roughly 210 million ETC. That makes its issuance schedule closer to Bitcoin's than to Ethereum's.

How much ETC was liquidated in the last 24 hours?

Has Ethereum Classic been attacked?

Yes. Ethereum Classic suffered several 51% attacks, including incidents in 2019 and 2020, where miners with majority hash power reorganised blocks to double-spend coins. These events are a known risk for smaller proof-of-work chains and have weighed on ETC sentiment before.

What are ETC perpetual futures?

ETC perpetual futures are derivatives contracts that track the price of ETC and never expire. Instead of settling on a date, they use a funding rate to stay close to the spot price. You can go long or short with leverage without holding any ETC.

How does ETC funding work?

Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. When ETC perps trade above the index price, funding is positive and longs pay shorts. When they trade below it, shorts pay longs. Most exchanges settle every 8 hours and some, including Hyperliquid, settle every hour.

Where can I trade ETC perpetuals?

Should I long or short ETC?

Coinperps does not give trading advice. Funding, open interest, the long/short ratio and liquidations show how other traders are positioned, but crowded positioning can last longer than expected. Size positions so a liquidation would not hurt you.
