Perpetual futures — often called perps — are the new trend in digital-asset trading. Unlike traditional futures, perps have no expiration date, allowing traders to hold positions indefinitely. 

At Swaps Monitor, we are committed to supporting your trading needs as new products emerge. We provide the trading hours, holiday calendars, and contract specs you need to trade with confidence. 

Available Perpetual Futures Products

As of 12:01 AM ET on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, the U.S. federal government has officially entered a shutdown. This development has immediate implications for financial markets, particularly around the release of key economic indicators.

The Impact

Due to the suspension of federal funding, several government agencies may delay or pause the publication of economic reports. These data releases play a critical role in shaping:

• Market volatility
• Liquidity
• Trading strategies

📉 During the 35-day government shutdown in 2018, agencies such as the USDA, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and U.S. Census Bureau postponed key data releases.

Code	Report	Agency
USUCP	Crop Production	U.S. Department of Agriculture

Over the past two weeks, Nepal has been caught in a fresh wave of political instability, injecting significant uncertainty into its financial markets. Market participants have had to navigate rapidly shifting directives, with trading and settlement availability changing abruptly and frequently.  

Authorities initially imposed day-by-day closures, which soon escalated to weekly shutdowns—only to be reversed, then reversed again.  

To further complicate matters, trading and settlement schedules were not aligned. Trading remained halted for multiple days, while settlement systems operated sporadically. 

These disruptions impacted the following: 

🔹 KtS (Nepal Stock Exchange trading holidays) 
🔹 KtX (Nepal Stock Exchange settlement holidays) 
🔹 NEPSE Settlement Cycle 

✅Stay Ahead with Swaps Monitor 

While Nepal’s market represents a small portion of global trading, every trade matters and at Swaps Monitor, we understand that. 

We’re committed to delivering timely, accurate, and actionable information—no matter the market or situation. Our clients can rely on us to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring they’re equipped to make informed decisions, even amid the most volatile conditions.
