Editing Crypto futures expiration date (section)

== Why Expiration Dates Matter ==
Expiration dates are important because they determine when your contract will be settled. If you're trading [[crypto futures for beginners]], you need to be aware of the expiration date to avoid unexpected settlements. Here’s why it matters:
* **Price Volatility**: As the expiration date approaches, price volatility may increase.
* **Liquidity**: Liquidity can dry up as the expiration date nears, making it harder to exit positions.
* **Settlement Risk**: If you hold a contract until expiration, you may face settlement risk, especially if the contract involves physical delivery.
