Could you elaborate on the concept of Bitcoin futures and its operational mechanism? I'm curious to understand how investors utilize this financial instrument to speculate on the future price of Bitcoin. Specifically, how do futures contracts function, and what role do they play in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem? Are they solely for speculative purposes, or do they serve any practical hedging functions? Additionally, how do futures markets impact the volatility of Bitcoin prices, and what are the key risks involved in trading Bitcoin futures?

Through these futures contracts, non-Bitcoin holders are able to speculate on the future price movements of Bitcoin, without actually possessing the underlying asset.
