What Is ‘Contract Multiplier’ in Futures and Options?

The contract multiplier is a number that, when multiplied by the price of the derivative, determines the total dollar value of the contract. For example, a Bitcoin futures contract might have a multiplier of $1, meaning the price reflects the value of one BTC.

It standardizes the notional size of the contract.
