Cryptocurrency Future refers to a financial derivative contract that obligates parties to trade a specified cryptocurrency at a predetermined price on a future date. These instruments allow market participants to speculate on price movements or hedge against potential losses without holding the underlying digital asset. They are commonly traded on regulated exchanges. Futures contracts provide important price discovery mechanisms.
