What are crypto derivatives?

In addition to the usual asset trading, there is an opportunity to use various financial instruments on the crypto market. One of them is crypto derivatives, which are essentially an agreement between a buyer and a seller for the future value of a digital asset. The participants in this transaction do not own the underlying asset for which the contract was drawn up. In this case, the subject of the transaction is the right to perform the contract. Bybit derivatives trading includes the following crypto derivatives:

• Futures. An example of such a contract is a pre-order of a product, in which the buyer pays a predetermined price, but receives the product later.
• Options are a contract that gives the right, but does not oblige, to buy or sell an underlying asset in the future at a predetermined price. An example of options in real life is asking the seller to hold the item for a while.
• CFD. If during the term of the contract the asset has fallen in price, then the buyer pays the difference. In case of an increase in the price of an asset, the seller pays it. A simple example of such a contract is a special offer in some stores, in which the seller promises to refund the difference in price if the buyer finds the item cheaper.
• Forwards. Forwards are traded on over-the-counter (OTC) markets, however, this agreement also implies the purchase of the underlying asset in the future at a fixed price.
• Swaps are a tool that includes two contracts at once. The first contract is aimed at the purchase or sale of the underlying asset at the time of its conclusion, and the second - indicates the conditions for the sale or purchase of the underlying asset in the future. Swaps are considered a more complex option for futures. Example: buying any product from a supplier and concluding an agreement on the supply of the same product to the end consumer in the future.

What is a crypto derivatives exchange?

Crypto derivatives exchanges are online platforms that make it easy and open for everyone to access decentralized (P2P) cryptocurrency trading, directly and without procrastination.

There are not only crypto exchanges that allow you to trade cryptocurrencies and tokens, but there are also crypto derivatives exchanges. Crypto derivatives can often be found on the same crypto exchanges as traditional crypto exchanges, but not all of them. However, some exchanges also offer the option to buy and trade derivatives.

These are contracts that are usually issued by the exchange itself and can only be bought and sold on the platform. It should be noted, however, that crypto exchanges offering derivatives are very successful, especially recently.

How does cryptocurrency derivatives trading work?

Derivatives trading is the exchange of contracts that link two parties (buyers and sellers) to sell or buy an asset at a specified date in the future.

Cryptocurrency derivatives allow solving two main tasks - reducing investment risks and making money on changes in the rate of digital coins.

Ways to make money on derivatives

Trading in derivative financial instruments for Bybit cryptocurrency is becoming a popular form of earnings. Here, since the future price of the cryptocurrency is unknown to anyone, all trading participants take on a certain risk. For almost all crypto derivatives, the same principle applies: if on the day of execution of the contract the asset rate fell, then the seller gets the profit, and the buyer remains at a loss. If a digital coin has risen in price, then the buyer remains the winner. However, depending on the type of contract chosen, the nuances of earnings will differ. Derivatives of the Bybit cryptocurrency in Malaysia include:

• Futures.
• Options.
• Swaps.
• CFD contracts.
• Forward.

Derivatives stimulate price increases, reduce volatility and attract institutional investors to the industry. However, despite all the advantages and the fact that one of the main tasks of these financial instruments is to reduce investment risks, derivatives do not guarantee stable income and constant profits and still remain a tool for experienced traders and large industry players.

How to Trade Bybit Derivatives in Malaysia?

The popularity of Bybit crypto derivatives in Malaysia is growing.  Trading derivatives is not that difficult. To do this, you must first register and fund your account, after which you will need to familiarize yourself with the platform and choose the most optimal type of derivative for yourself. When making a deal on Bybit, there is no real exchange of one asset for another. This is not necessary because when you buy you are committing to sell the purchased asset. If you sell for more than you bought, you will take the price difference for yourself. If you sell it cheaper, pay the difference from your Bybit account balance.

The guarantee of payment is that when the contract is concluded, the amount necessary to secure the transaction is blocked on your account.

Transactions can be made for amounts exceeding the amount of the collateral (that is, the amount of your deposit) a hundred times. In other words, trading is carried out using borrowed funds with a leverage of 1/100.

Bybit cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform allows you to make money not only on the rise in the price of an asset, but also on its fall. Your first deal may well be not buying an asset, but selling it. You don't need to own the cryptocurrency you are selling to do this. As in the case of a purchase, trading is carried out using borrowed funds: you borrow the cryptocurrency from the exchange, sell it and assume the obligation to redeem it back and return it to the exchange in the future. The term for the fulfillment of the obligation is not determined, therefore the contract is called indefinite.

All trading instruments on Bybit are grouped into two groups:

• line contracts;
• inverse contracts.

Sometimes you will come across other names as well. Instead of the words “line contract”, you can see “direct contract” or “perpetual USDT”. All of these terms on the Bybit exchange mean the same thing. Similarly, instead of the words “inverse contract”, you can see “reverse contract”. There is no difference between these two terms for Bybit either.

How to register?

The registration process is extremely simple and takes about one minute:

• On the main page, select the language of the site. If you entered the website address of the exchange yourself in the browser, then the language selection button is on the top right, and if you went to the site using an affiliate link, the language selection button will be on the bottom right.
• The registration form itself is located on the main page of the site. It will need to indicate either an email address or a phone number.
• Then you need to come up with a password. Be careful when entering your password.
