Are There Any Examples of Standardized Forward-like Contracts in the Crypto Space?

Yes, perpetual swaps are the most prominent example, offering a forward-like exposure without a fixed expiration. Some crypto exchanges also offer non-expiring futures or structured products that mimic a standardized forward.

While true forward contracts are customized and OTC, the crypto market has innovated with standardized, exchange-traded products that provide similar risk exposure. These are generally cleared by the exchange.
