Editing How crypto futures trading works (section)

== What Are Crypto Futures? ==
Crypto futures are financial contracts that obligate the buyer to purchase, and the seller to sell, a specific cryptocurrency at a predetermined price and date in the future. Unlike [[crypto spot trading]], where you buy and sell the actual asset, futures trading involves speculating on price movements without owning the cryptocurrency.

=== Key Features of Crypto Futures ===
* **Leverage Trading**: Crypto futures allow traders to use [[crypto futures leverage trading]] to amplify their positions. This means you can control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital.
* **Margin Explained**: [[Crypto futures margin explained]] refers to the collateral required to open and maintain a futures position. It ensures that traders can cover potential losses.
* **Expiration Dates**: Every futures contract has an [[crypto futures expiration date]], after which the contract is settled, either in cash or by delivering the underlying asset.
