Ethereum Contract Expiration Details
Ethereum contract settlement values are based on a corresponding Real Time Index managed by CF Benchmarks. Not all cryptocurrency price data matches the standard used for these markets.
Checking a source like Google or Coinbase helps guide trading decisions, but the official expiration value relies on the corresponding Real Time Index. Sixty RTI prices are collected during the final minute before expiration.
The official settlement value equals the mathematical average of those collected prices. Contract owners receive one dollar for every correct prediction contract they hold.
Traders must follow rules and manage risks
Traders can close their positions before the event resolves to lock in gains or limit losses. Additional platform fees apply to these transactions.
Employees of any source agency cannot trade on the contract. Individuals holding material, non-public information on the underlying asset also face trading restrictions.
Futures, options on futures, and cleared swaps trading involves significant risk. Investors must carefully evaluate if these instruments fit their personal financial circumstances.
