How Do Bitcoin Futures Work?
Bitcoin futures offer protection against volatility and adverse price movements. Also, it is a proxy tool for traders to speculate on the future prices of Bitcoin. With a Bitcoin futures contract, you can take a long position if you expect the price of Bitcoin to rise. Conversely, you take a short position to reduce the impact of losses when the price of Bitcoin falls. When investing for the long-term, Bitcoin may experience occasional bear markets as sentiments change. In these uncertain periods, your Bitcoin portfolio is unlikely to gain very much, if any at all. In such scenarios, Bitcoin futures contracts can be useful to protect your Bitcoin investments against downside risk.
