The largest European cryptocurrency exchange has launched cryptocurrency futures trading. Registered users have the opportunity to conclude futures contracts for bitcoin.

Futures contracts guarantee that the buyer will purchase the specified amount of assets at a specific time and at a pre-agreed price. Cryptocurrency futures also make it possible to trade virtual assets without owning them and profit from the difference between the fixed and the future price.

Perpetual futures contracts do not have an expiry date. The funding mechanism is used to correlate the price of the contract on the market: based on the exchange rates, funding takes place on a regular basis every eight hours.

Only users with open positions participate in the funding. The ratio is calculated depending on the number of owners of short and long positions.

Another important update is that the exchange is proving a single collateral balance to secure margin and futures positions.

Cryptocurrency futures trading is suitable for experienced traders. Still, WhiteBIT has simplified this process as much as possible so that the tool is available even to users who have started in crypto recently. WhiteBIT CEO Volodymyr Nosov notes:

“Cryptocurrency futures appeared in 2017 and have gradually become one of the most attractive trading instruments. WhiteBIT grew with our users discovering new cryptocurrency trading opportunities and gaining experience. We always listen to our community and want to develop our product together. It is now possible to gain experience with cryptocurrency futures on our exchange. It is a tool designed for both profit and risk hedging.”
