How the price of BTC Futures Contracts is determined?

Litecoin, which is the base cryptocurrency of the United Kingdom, is expected to experience an average increase in its price to $82.68. All cryptocurrency analysts believe that Litecoin has the most optimistic projections, saying that its price might increase as high as 1,500 USD by the end of 2020. On the other hand, some platforms are of the opinion that the cryptocurrency will experience only moderate growth in its price.

Complete details of the Litecoin futures are listed on all major crypto exchanges. Litecoin, which is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, allows a near-instant and low-price money transfers. Creation, as well as the transfer of the cryptocurrency, is decentralized. It is based on an open-source cryptographic procedure. As the Litecoin blockchain was established in October 2011 as a hard-fork of the Bitcoin block, its protocol is almost the same as the protocol of Bitcoin.

However, the key differences between the Litecoin futures contract and the Bitcoin futures contract include:

·    Blocktime in Litecoin blockchain is approximately 2.5 minutes as against 10 minutes for BTC Futures Contracts.

·         While the supply of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million, the maximum supply of Litecoins is 84 million.

·         While the Bitcoin blockchain makes use of SHA-256 as the hashing algorithm, Litecoin uses scrypt as its hashing algorithm. This option of hashing algorithm makes miners easy to mine Litecoin by making use of any user-grade hardware.

Traders can buy and sell their Litecoins directly, which is known as LTC spot trading. They can make a huge profit by buying LTC at a low price and sell it at a higher price. However, the trading loss can be easily resolved through the LTC margin trading by making use of derivatives. This is for the reason that derivatives are capable of addressing these shortcomings easily and effectively.

The Litecoin futures contracts allow you to get the required benefits, irrespective of the increasing or decreasing price of LTC.  Additionally, these derivative contracts feature incorporated leverage, enabling traders to operate big contracts with a small investment.

The price of the BTC Futures Contracts will be affected if they have less expiry date. This means that if the expiry day is low, such as 2 days, the price calculation formula of these contracts will just tell you that the price of the futures contract will remain extremely close to the spot price of the cryptocurrency, as there are only 2 days for its price expiry. However, because of high instability, the spot price of the bitcoin cryptocurrency may increase or decrease within hours considerably. 

All futures contracts get their value from their individual underlying cryptocurrency, so BTC Futures Contracts are no exception. When it comes to the bitcoin futures, their prices mainly count on the spot prices of bitcoin. This means that if there is a change in the price of bitcoin, the change will reflect in the price of the BTC futures contracts. This dependence shows the way to the prices of the two moving in synchronization with each other, although there is a disparity between the two.

Know the usefulness of cryptocurrency derivatives

Derivatives have turned out to be one of most] essential financial tools in the cryptocurrency, as well as in the global financial world. They are the best way of hedging and handling financial risks by improving liquidity as well as pricing during free cryptocurrency exchange trading.

Cryptocurrency derivatives are nothing but financial contracts for the potential price of  cryptocurrencies, products, security,  or service. The focus of such a contract is known as the underlying asset. Both sellers, as well as buyers of derivatives, do not have the underlying assets but they can have the right to buy and sell them by executing the contract.

Knowledgeable and practiced investors use special financial tools to capitalize on the instability of the digital money market. Bitcoin derivatives are one such financial tool, which are used while trading the cryptocurrency. The major reason for using these derivatives is that they aid traders considerably in reducing the risk to earn on Bitcoins. 

Crypto derivatives are considered more lucrative for the reason that they allow traders to earn a substantial income on the ever-changing price of the underlying assets. As the future price of the underlying asset in the market is mysterious, all bidders are susceptible to the price risk. If at the time of implementation of the contract the price of bitcoin drops in its price, the seller will get the profit, and the buyer will remain at a loss. If the price of the bitcoin is increased in its price, then also the buyer  will remain the winner.

Cryptocurrency derivatives are capable of affecting the market in several ways. When the Chicago CBOE options exchange launched futures contracts, bitcoin has experienced a price increase of more than 1000 USD within a minute of the launch. An analogous jump in the price was recorded when the derivative was introduced on CME.

Therefore, you will be capable of predicting the course of Bitcoin by observing the number of futures contracts sold. If a huge number of big players sell on BTC futures simultaneously, then it is probable that the market will drop. If they purchase, then perhaps the course will escalate. Usually, huge-scale operations will specify a general level of interest in the primary cryptocurrency, which may have an effect on the worth of the asset.

Similarly, bitcoin derivatives are capable of stimulating price increases, reducing volatility and drawing the attention of institutional investors to the industry. However, in spite of all the benefits as well as the truth that one of the major tasks of these derivatives is to lessen investment risks, they do not promise steady income as well as continuous profit. Thus, they are so far staying to be an effective financial tool for the major industry players and experienced traders. This means that those who are new to the world of crypto trading will be more vulnerable to price risks. 

Therefore, the only effective solution to the volatility problem is decentralization. Nevertheless, decentralized crypto exchanges have not taken cause on the market due to their multifaceted technical execution and the towering cost of projects. Therefore, as far as the derivative financial instruments are concerned, only some decentralized exchanges are currently available to expert traders and all of them are quite undeveloped projects with loads of deficiencies.
