Crypto market hedges Iran war risks with 24/7 oil and gold trading

Mar 01, 2026 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) --

Perpetual swap futures are a type of futures contract that does not expire, enabling traders to hold "leveraged positions around the clock". Trading of them was popular over the weekend on crypto-exchange Hyperliquid, which is one of crypto's more popular 24/7 exchanges, amid the growing Middle East conflict. Perpetual swap futures tied to oil rose around five per cent to $US70.6 per barrel, while those for gold and silver increased roughly 1.3 per cent and 2 per cent to $US5,323 and $94.90 per troy ounce, respectively..
