Отрасль How Does Futures Trading Work?

Crypto futures trading is a type of trading that mimics futures trading in the mainstream markets. It involves using futures contracts, which are legal agreements to buy or sell an asset in the future at a predetermined price.

In crypto, it means agreeing to buy a particular cryptocurrency at a specific price at a time in the future, regardless of the price when the time comes.

The agreed time may be as short as 24 hours to as long as several years. This is often referred to as gambling because the parties involved in the transaction usually base their trades on speculation of how the asset price will perform in the future, hence the term futures trading.

Whatever happens, the trade is executed on the agreed date and time and usually only favors one person out of the two who agree on the trade.
