  Futures contracts provide traders and investors with a way to hedge against price volatility in the digital currency market. By entering into a futures contract, they can lock in a price for a future date, reducing the risk of price fluctuations affecting their investments. This allows them to plan and manage their positions more effectively.

  In addition to hedging, futures contracts also offer traders and investors the opportunity to speculate on the price movements of digital currencies. By taking long or short positions in futures contracts, they can profit from both rising and falling prices. This adds another layer of flexibility and potential profitability to their trading strategies.
