TL;DR

The price of Bitcoin on Bitfinex's perpetual swap market briefly surged above $56,000 due to low liquidity, with trading volume on Bitfinex's BTC-PERP market rising to 322 BTC ($9.1 million) for two minutes. Bitfinex CTO Paolo Ardoino assured market participants that the system worked as expected and the matching engine handled all orders correctly. Perpetual swaps, such as the BTC-PERP market on Bitfinex, are a type of derivative contract that allows traders to speculate on the future price of an asset like Bitcoin without an expiration date.
