Question 1

Is it cheaper to hold spot or a perp?

Accepted Answer

For simply holding, spot is usually cheaper because perps charge funding every 8 hours. Perps make sense for leverage, shorting or capital efficiency — not for long-term buy-and-hold, where funding quietly erodes returns.

Question 2

When is a perp worth the funding?

Accepted Answer

When you need leverage, want to short, or value not tying up full capital. If you just want exposure and plan to hold, spot avoids the funding drip entirely.
