what are Futures trading & How to Trade cryptocurrency in the Futures market?

What is Futures ?

Futures is a kind of derivative market in which instead of buying and selling cryptocurrencies on the same day, buyers and sellers enter into a contract to buy and sell assets at a certain time in the future at a certain price.

Let’s understand this with an example. Let’s say, you have bought a futures contract of XRP/C2USD consisting of a lot of 100 XRP at Rs. 50 each expiring at a specific date. So the contract value of 1 lot is Rs. 5000. At the expiry of the contract, the buying price for you for those 1 lot size futures contracts will remain Rs.5000, irrespective of the current prevailing price. This means that even if the price of the contract goes up to Rs. 60/each, you will get a profit of Rs. (100*10)= Rs.1000 at the end of the expiration of the contract. If the price of the contract falls to Rs. 40/each, you will incur a loss of Rs. (100*10)= Rs.1000.

Futures contracts are exchange-traded, standardized contracts. This means that buyers and sellers have no right to create or modify contracts as per their convenience. The exchange here plays the role of a third party to eliminate counterparty risks.
