What are Futures?

Binance Futures contracts are derivative contracts that allow you to speculate on the future price of a given digital asset, either by taking a long (buy) or short (sell) position.

Why use Futures?

Binance Futures is often used to capitalize on expected price fluctuations. Traders will open long positions if they think prices will go up, and short positions if they think prices will go down.
