Contract Trading
It is a type of standardized futures trading. A futures contract is an agreement reached by the buyer and the seller at a predetermined price and a specific date in the future. Normally, contract trading is settled when it reaches its expiration date_ both parties are then obligated to buy or sell the underlying asset for the agreed-upon price. Other than the regular futures contract trading, Perpetual Contracts Trading, which has emerged in recent years in crypto exchanges and has no expiration date.
