> Litecoin launched in 2011 as a fork of Bitcoin with faster block times. It is one of the oldest markets in the group, and its perpetual futures often follow BTC with less independent news flow.

On a $10,000 LTC position with a funding rate of 0.01% for the interval, a long pays $1.00 to shorts at that funding time. If the rate is negative, shorts pay longs instead. These are illustrative figures, not a current LTC rate.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a LTC perpetual future?

A Litecoin perpetual future is a derivative that tracks the price of LTC and has no expiry date. It stays near the spot price because longs and shorts exchange a periodic funding payment.

### Does LTC funding count against a prop firm drawdown?

It depends on the firm. Some apply funding to account equity, which moves a drawdown measured on equity, and others do not charge it at all. Check the firm’s published rules; where a firm does not say, we show that as unknown.

### How much leverage can I use on LTC?

Leverage limits differ by venue, firm and account tier, and they change. Prop firms commonly allow more on BTC and ETH than on smaller markets. Use the limit in your own firm’s rules, not a figure from an exchange.
