A futures contract is a type of cryptocurrency derivatives. By definition, futures contract traders agree to transact a predetermined amount of a certain commodity at a preset price at a specific future time. Based on their judgment of the markets, investors can choose to long or short futures products to profit from up or down markets.
To help you better understand HTX’s futures trading products, we are providing a detailed overview of the two major ones: USDT-margined futures and coin-margined futures, along with their subtypes. You can choose the futures product that best suits your trading needs.

- Coin-M Futures: Coin-margined futures contracts are cryptocurrency derivatives where users can profit from price movements by going long or short. They function similarly to a collateralized spot market, with prices closely tracking the index prices of the underlying asset mainly through the funding rate mechanism.

Upon expiration of delivery contracts, all open positions are settled at the arithmetic average price of the index prices over the last hour before expiry. Here’s a comparison:
