A Beginner’s Guide to ATOM Futures Trading.

What are ATOM Futures?

ATOM futures are legal contracts for buying or selling ATOM at a future date.

ATOM futures is a special contract representation of existing ATOM crypto, and the actual settlement of ATOM (or cash) will happen in the future - when the contract is exercised

ATOM futures are often used to hedge against price changes of ATOM itself. On the other hand, they enable investors to speculate on the asset's underlying trend. To put it simply, you can purchase (buy long) ATOM futures if you expect the crypto price to go up and when you think that the price will fall, you take a short position (buy short) to reduce the impact of losses.
