What Are CTC Futures?
CTC Futures are legally binding contracts to buy or sell CTC (a cryptocurrency) at a predetermined future date and price. These contracts represent a derivative form of the underlying CTC asset, with settlement occurring upon contract expiration—either through physical delivery of CTC or cash equivalents.
Traders use CTC Futures to:
- Hedge against price volatility
- Speculate on CTC's market trends without owning the asset
- Leverage positions to amplify potential gains (or losses)
