Frequently asked questions
What is NEAR-USD?
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is a sharded Layer-1 blockchain focused on usability and scalability. NEAR-USD is the perpetual futures contract on NEAR, letting traders take leveraged long or short positions on its price without holding the underlying asset.
Can I go long or short on NEAR-USD?
Both. NEAR-USD is a perpetual, so traders can open leveraged long positions (betting NEAR rises) or short positions (betting it falls) against one USDC-margined order book. Live long and short order flow for NEAR-USD is on BULK at https://app.bulk.trade/trade/NEAR-USD?ref=YETI.
Where can I trade NEAR-USD perpetuals?
Live order flow and trading for NEAR-USD are available on Bulk.Trade at app.bulk.trade/trade/NEAR-USD?ref=YETI. Open your account through that link - it already carries code YETI - and your account is attached to BULK's referral program automatically, with referrer rewards paid weekly from BULK's AURA pool.
What moves the NEAR-USD funding rate?
Funding on NEAR-USD is driven by the gap between the perpetual's price and NEAR's spot index. When the perpetual trades above spot, longs pay shorts; when it trades below, shorts pay longs. BULK settles funding every hour at the top of the hour, samples a depth-weighted premium rather than just the mid price, and the exchange takes no cut of the payment (docs.bulk.trade).
What does trading NEAR-USD on BULK cost?
Trading NEAR-USD on BULK costs taker fees from 3.5 bps (Tier 1) down by 14-day volume tier, with 0 bps base maker fees during the Phase 1 Genesis period and maker rebates up to -1.5 bps for qualifying makers. There is no separate liquidation fee, and fees settle per fill in USDC. Schedule: https://docs.bulk.trade/bulk-exchange/fees
How much leverage can I use on NEAR-USD?
Leverage on NEAR-USD is capped per market by BULK and can be set per symbol in account settings. Because BULK uses portfolio margining, a NEAR position hedged against a correlated position can require meaningfully less margin than its isolated requirement. The live interface shows the current maximum for NEAR-USD.
What should I watch before trading NEAR-USD?
Order flow (aggression on the bid vs. ask), the funding rate, open interest, and recent volatility are the core signals to check before sizing a NEAR-USD position. Rising open interest with an extreme funding rate is the classic setup for a squeeze in either direction.
Does code YETI work on the NEAR-USD market?
Yes. The NEAR-USD trading link on this page already carries code YETI (?ref=YETI) - open it and your account is attributed to BULK's referral program with nothing to copy or type. Referral rewards are distributed weekly from BULK's dedicated AURA pool; terms are set by BULK.
