What Is a Cryptocurrency Futures Contract and How Is It Used for Hedging?

A crypto futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of cryptocurrency at a predetermined price on a future date. A miner uses it for hedging by selling a futures contract for the amount of crypto they expect to mine.
