According to the delivery method, futures contracts are usually divided into cash delivery and physical delivery.
At present, CBOE, CME, BITMEX, OKEx, and Firecoin have selected cash delivery methods. This is because cash delivery does not involve the hosting and delivery of Bitcoin in kind, thus avoiding a series of regulatory issues and costs such as secure storage, KYC, and anti-money laundering. At the same time, the price fluctuations of Bitcoin are fierce, and the frequent occurrence of “pins, line drawing” has also made the mainstream institutional investors who want to participate in the encryption futures contract discouraged.
