# Flipster > Global markets, perpetual access Flipster is a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange. It lets users trade perpetual futures on a wide range of crypto and traditional market pairs, with spot trading, copy trading, and yield on margin balances. Flipster is a centralized derivatives exchange focused on perpetual futures for crypto assets and traditional market instruments such as stocks and ETFs. Users trade a wide range of pairs under a tiered fee model that lowers rates at higher trading volumes. The platform is built for low-latency trading across both markets from one account. Accounts open after identity verification, and eligibility depends on the user's country. Margin balances in supported assets can keep earning yield while they are used for trading, and Dynamic Earn subscriptions can also serve as cross-margin collateral. Traders use the platform on the web and through iOS and Android apps. Flipster Perpetuals Trading is the core product, alongside spot trading, copy trading of master traders, and Flipster Earn for yield on deposits. Launchpool campaigns let users stake assets for project token rewards. Flipster is used by retail and professional crypto traders and by traders seeking exposure to traditional markets. - Type: Company - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/flipster ## Products - [Flipster Perpetuals Trading](https://thegrid.id/profiles/flipster): Flipster Perpetuals Trading offers perpetual futures on a wide range of pairs, covering crypto assets and traditional market instruments such as stocks and leveraged ETFs.
