Could you please elaborate on the concept of a Bitcoin futures market? As a financial professional, I'm interested in understanding how it functions and what its role is within the broader cryptocurrency landscape. Specifically, I'm curious about how Bitcoin futures contracts are structured, how they allow investors to hedge against market risks, and what kind of regulatory oversight, if any, exists for such markets. Furthermore, I'd like to know if Bitcoin futures have had any significant impact on the price of Bitcoin itself and how they contribute to the overall liquidity and stability of the digital currency ecosystem.

The borrowed currencies are then sold in the market, with the intention of repurchasing them later at a lower price after a market crash.

The short selling process typically involves some form of interest or leverage associated with the borrowed funds.
