  Marking futures to market can have a significant impact on the value of digital assets. When futures contracts are marked to market, the current market price is used to determine the value of the contract. This means that any changes in the market price will directly affect the value of the futures contract and, by extension, the value of the underlying digital asset. If the market price increases, the value of the futures contract and the digital asset will also increase. Conversely, if the market price decreases, the value of the futures contract and the digital asset will decrease as well. This can lead to increased volatility in the value of digital assets.
