What it means
This quarterly futures contract expands KuCoin's Bitcoin derivatives offerings with a fixed settlement date. Traders gain access to a coin-margined contract with adjustable leverage, allowing both long and short positions with defined expiration. KuCoin notes that contract parameters-including tick size, maximum leverage, and maintenance margin rates-may be adjusted based on market conditions. As with all cryptocurrency derivatives, leverage trading carries significant risk.
