Why are perpetual futures listings a signal worth watching?

[Cryptochiefprest]

 

XRP has been making headlines again from court updates to price swings but another thing I’ve been watching is how new tokens are entering perpetual futures markets.

One that just landed is MORI/USDT on BingX. The token’s branding is intense (a golden skull dripping down a black background), and it’s this kind of visual identity that often leads to curiosity trading. But more than that, its listing in the perpetuals space shows that there’s institutional backing or at least trader confidence behind it.

Perpetual listings usually come after some groundwork tokenomics, community, and volatility potential. So when a lesser known project like MORI gets listed, it tells me that it’s either backed by a serious team or has some upcoming catalysts.

For gold standard traders looking to get in before the herd, these signals often matter more than just hype.
