How Crypto Futures Trading Works
Futures contracts let traders speculate on price movements or hedge spot positions without holding the underlying asset.
Perpetual Contracts
No expiry date. Funding rates every 8 hours keep contract price anchored to spot through periodic settlements.
Quarterly Futures
Fixed expiration dates with no funding. Popular for long-term hedging and arbitrage between spot and futures.
Cross and Isolated Margin
Cross margin shares balance across all positions. Isolated margin limits risk to allocated amount per contract.

Common Questions
Binance Futures and OKX lead global volume, often exceeding $50 billion daily. EVEDEX focuses on decentralized alternatives with on-chain settlement and comparable liquidity in major pairs.
Most global platforms restrict US users due to CFTC regulations. A few CFTC-registered platforms offer limited contracts, but most crypto derivatives trading in the US happens through compliant brokers or offshore with VPN (not recommended).
Every 8 hours, traders with open positions pay or receive a small fee based on the difference between contract price and spot. Positive funding means longs pay shorts; negative means shorts pay longs.
Most experienced traders use 3x–10x. Higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses; a 10% move against you at 10x wipes out your margin. Start lower and increase only after testing strategies with real capital.
Centralized exchanges require KYC for compliance. Decentralized derivatives protocols like EVEDEX allow trading without identity verification, though some features may have limits for non-verified users.
