On Friday (31 August 2018), London-based cryptocurrency derivatives firm 'Crypto Facilities' (a competitor to BitMEX and Deribit) announced that it had launched perpetual futures contract on XBT/USD, and the world's first perpetual ETH/USD, BCH/USD, XRP/USD, LTC/USD, and XRP/XBT futures contracts. With this move, Crypto Facilities joins rivals BitMEX and Deribit, which already offered perpetual futures on XBT/USD; BitMEX launched its perpetual XBT/USD "leveraged swap product" on 13 May 2016. Although in its Twitter announcement Crypto Facilities says that it is offering the world's perpetual ETH/USD contract, in reality, that honor belongs to BitMEX, which launched such a product on 2 August 2018.
