What Are the Benefits of Using Cash-Settled Crypto Futures for Retail Traders?

Cash-settled futures simplify the trading process by eliminating the need to manage and secure the actual underlying cryptocurrency. They offer higher liquidity and lower transaction costs, as there is no physical delivery expense.

Furthermore, they allow traders to speculate on price movements without ever holding the volatile asset itself, which is simpler for short-term speculation.
