What is Swap?

Basics

스왑

A contract in which two parties exchange cash flows under agreed terms. Interest rate swaps and currency swaps are typical. In crypto markets, a futures contract with no expiry is itself called a perpetual swap. The cost exchanged periodically while holding that contract is the funding rate, not a swap, so the product name and the cost name should not be confused.
