How to Trade Cardano (ADA) Futures on BTCC

To buy or sell Cardano at a specified future date and price is to enter into a Cardano Futures contract. The value of the futures contract is tied to the price of the underlying cryptocurrency, which in this case is Cardano. So, a Cardano future contract’s price follows Cardano’s price rather closely.

Therefore, futures trading is an alternative to buying and selling the underlying cryptocurrency (aka spot trading). It is possible to make a profit in spot trading by buying Cardano at a low price and selling it at a high price. It’s important to note that the Cardano price must be rising for this strategy to be profitable. Spot trading is unavailable, however, during a down market.

Further, in spot trading, you cannot use leverage. Futures trading in Cardano has various advantages over spot trading in Cardano, such as the opportunity to go long or short and the availability of leverage.

What are Cardano (ADA) Futures?

Futures contracts for cryptocurrencies allow investors to wager on the value of a digital asset. Futures contracts allow investors to speculate on the price of a cryptocurrency without actually buying any of the coins themselves. However, when a futures contract expires, the buyer must buy the coin to settle the transaction.

Cardano, a cryptocurrency built on the Cardano blockchain, debuted in 2017. Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is its consensus method, and it was developed to be Ethereum’s scalability, sustainability, and interoperability successor. It is for this reason that Cardano has been dubbed a “Ethereum killer” by blockchain’s advocates.

Cardano added smart contract support in September 2021, paving the way for the development of dApps, NFTs, games, new cryptocurrencies, and more. Tokenized in honor of Ada Lovelace, a pioneering female mathematician of the 19th century, ADA is the native coin of the blockchain. These coins are intended for safe monetary exchange and to cover transaction costs.

Cardano futures are essentially agreements to buy and sell a set amount of ADA at a predetermined price. Cardano swaps and Cardano futures are two common names for the same financial instrument.

Those that invest in ADA futures anticipate a future increase in the value of the cryptocurrency and are banking on this. They stand to gain financially from any further price hikes if this occurs. But they risk losing money if the value of Cardano drops.

How to Long ADA Futures

If you intend to profit from a gain in Cardano’s price in the near future, you purchase ADA futures. This trading approach is also known as having a long position in ADA futures.

At a leverage of 10x, purchasing a $100 ADA futures contract allows you to ‘own’ $1,000 worth of Cardano. Note, however, that if the price of ADA falls by more than 10%, your position will be liquidated and you will lose your entire $1,000 investment.

Suppose ADA is now trading at 0.1 USDT per coin. A bullish ADA futures trader purchases 100,000 ADA futures contracts with 10x leverage to establish a long ADA futures position at that price.

With a contract size of 1 ADA per contract, the initial margin needed to open this position is: 100,000 x $0.01 / 10 = $1,000. Depending on the performance of the ADA price, the trader might either earn a substantial profit or lose his entire investment.
