ETH Futures Contracts Listed On BTCC Exchange

Ether Futures Contract Details

What is ETH Futures Trading?

ETH Futures is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell ETH at a predetermined future date and price. The futures contract derives its value from the underlying cryptocurrency, Ether in this case. Thus the price of a Ether futures contract moves broadly in sync with the price of ETH.

Trading futures is thus an alternative to actually buying or selling the underlying crypto (aka spot trading). In spot trading, you can make profit by buying Ether low and selling it at a high price. This trade however works only in a bull market, i.e. when Ether price is going up. However, in a bear market, there is no trade possible in spot trading. Furthermore, leverage trading is not possible in spot trading.

Trading ETH through futures offers several advantages over spot trading of Ether, namely ability to both long or short and get access to leverage.

Benefits of Ether Futures Trading

Trade Profitably in All Market Conditions

You can profit from rising ETH price by going long Ether futures. And, when ETH price is falling, you can make profits by going short. This feature of futures trading enable you to navigate all types of market conditions profitably. Compare this with directly buying Ether. When price is falling, you can either sell your Ether or suffer losses. In spot trading, there is no way of profiting from falling prices.

Risk Hedging

If you are a HODLer, you can still use futures to mitigate price risk. Say, you hold ETH. You can mitigate the risks you face when Ether is falling by going short Ether futures. In this case, a short futures position acts as a downside protection by effectively locking the $ value of your portfolio without the need for selling your Ether. Judicious use of futures as hedge can make you a better and stronger HODLer.

Use Leverage to Amplify Returns

Leverage enables you to open positions that are bigger than your trading capital. If you can open a position that is 10 times bigger than your trading capital, then you have 10x leverage available to you. The maximum allowed leverage for ETH futures listed on BTCC Exchange is as high as 100x. There are two ways of thinking about leverage:

• Leverage as capital efficiency driver : For opening a position of a given size, higher the leverage lower the trading capital required. The leverage in spot trading is always 1x, while it is 3-4x in margin trading. This means futures is 20 to 100 times more capital efficient than spot or margin trading.

• Leverage as a returns amplifier : Because in a leverage trade position size is greater than the capital deployed, impact of prices moves gets magnified. The return on capital deployed is leverage times the price return. This means that you can amplify your trading gains the effective use of leverage.

If ETH price increased from $1246.40 to $1261.99 your return would be equal to:

Advantages of Ether futures trading can be summarized as follows:
