Options vs Perpetual Contracts

Perpetual futures contracts (or simply, perpetuals) are contracts with no expiration date. They allow traders to close their positions (if they are profitable) at any time. Sometimes, their positions may be liquidated if the market moves against their expectations due to the leverage used to open such positions.

This means that all perpetual contracts are settled in cash, as there is no expiration date for them to be physically settled. That is, all perpetual contracts are of the American style.
