243 perpetual contract pages, crypto and TradFi together, in the sitemap on 2026-10-06. ROW provided by Flipster Corp where permitted. VARA spot Exchange Services by Flipster FZE under VASP Licence VL/26/07/002.
Crypto perpetuals
ROWContracts with no expiry date, quoted and settled in USDT. You post margin, take a long or short position, and exchange funding with the other side at fixed times.
TradFi perpetuals: gold, US stocks and ETFs
ROWThe same contract design applied to gold, US stocks and ETFs. They settle in USDT and give price exposure, not ownership of the underlying asset. The company describes the range as “100+ TradFi perpetual pairs” (read 2026-10-06); those contracts are part of the 243 pages above.
Copy trading
ROWA user-directed automated execution tool. A Master Trader’s trades are replicated pro rata in your own account, without your approval for each trade. No Master Trader has custody or control of your account, and you can stop at any time.
Spot and Earn
VARA ROWSpot: nine spot market pages were in the sitemap on 2026-10-06, among them BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT and SOLUSDT. Earn: Flipster Earn pays daily rewards on supported assets; the rate is variable and not guaranteed, and this page shows no rate.
| Fee | Rate | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Maker fee, VIP0 | 0.02% | Futures only |
| Taker fee, VIP0 | 0.06% | Spot and futures |
| Deposit fee | None | Deposits of assets; the network may charge its own fee |
| BTC withdrawal fee | 0.0001 BTC | Bitcoin withdrawals |
VIP0 is the entry tier and has no volume or balance requirement. Eleven higher tiers lower the rates by 30-day volume or by average balance.
One correction to the live home page, which says fees “start at 0.025%”: 0.025% is the taker rate of the highest tier, VIP11, not the starting rate.
All 12 tiers, funding and withdrawal fees by network are in the full Flipster fee schedule.

Perpetual futures are leveraged. A small price move against you becomes a large loss on your margin, and Flipster’s own Derivatives Trading Terms call derivatives “complex” products that “may not be suitable for inexperienced investors”.
Three mechanics do the damage. Losses can exceed your deposit. Liquidation is automatic: when the mark price reaches your liquidation price, the position is closed without notice. Funding is a payment between traders at every funding time, and it is a cost whenever you are on the paying side.
Read the risk disclosure for derivatives, copy trading and earn, then learn how a liquidation price is calculated and what a funding rate is and who pays it before you open a position.
You can lose up to your entire deposit in a very short period of time. The amount you may lose is potentially unlimited and can exceed the amount which you originally deposit with us.
Three guides cover the mechanics that decide what a perpetual position costs and when it is closed.
Every guide is in the Flipster Learn guides. Single terms, from mark price to maintenance margin, are in the crypto futures glossary.
