#FedWatch $ETH
ETH futures in crypto are derivative contracts that allow traders to speculate on the future price of Ethereum (ETH) without holding the actual asset. These contracts can be settled in either cash (USDT, USD, etc.) or physically (ETH).
Types of ETH Futures:
Perpetual Futures – No expiry date, funding fees apply, commonly traded on Binance, Bybit, and other crypto exchanges.
Quarterly/Fixed-Term Futures – Have an expiration date, settled at the contract’s expiry price.
Options on ETH Futures – Allow traders to hedge or speculate with predefined risk.
Key Trading Factors:
Leverage: ETH futures allow high leverage (e.g., 5x, 10x, 100x), amplifying both profits and losses.
Funding Rates: For perpetual contracts, traders pay or receive funding fees based on market conditions.
Market Liquidity: ETH futures have high liquidity, making them attractive for institutional and retail traders.
Popular Platforms for ETH Futures Trading:
