crypto future

A **crypto future** is a type of financial derivative contract in which two parties agree to buy or sell a specified amount of a cryptocurrency (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum) at a predetermined price on a set future date. These contracts allow traders to speculate on the future price movements of cryptocurrencies without necessarily owning the underlying assets. Crypto futures can be used for hedging, speculation, or arbitrage purposes and are commonly traded on both centralized and decentralized exchanges.
